I also have the 2nd gear crunch! :evil:

[tom83]

My last 3 runs were started in 2nd, just to avoid the 2nd gear crunch.

 

[Enzo]

[tom83]

You'll be suprised, I was running similar times.

 

[Gordonm]

Cheers pal.

Got an exciting 4 weeks coming up. 3" exhaust system on Thurday, and then its in to TDi for the Turbo conversion.

 

[tom83]

Well getting started on the Turbo conversion. Removed the standard exhaust and B-Pipe and replaced with a straight through 3" with 1 silencer. Its a tad loud, hopefully it will get a bit quieter once the Turbo is on.

If you recognise the tail pipe, its off a Porsche.


2 weeks, 4 days counting down the days.

Well back at TDi today for a Dyno Run, just to see what difference the custom exhaust has made. Quite pleased with an increase of 12bhp.

Made 367bhp.

And a little video

[Loxy]

Nice! Works well then.

 

[tom83]

Yeah, better than expected. I thought I might make 4 or 5bhp, and a few torques, but not that much.

 

[Loxy]

I've just watched the vid! :lol: :twisted:

90+ more ftlb than standard. Savage!

 

[tom83]

Yeah its getting there. Really looking forward to the Turbo. Cant wait to see what it pushes out.
