I was too cheap to tax the Golf, So I ended up taking the turbo back off this, as it wasn't finished and have been using it for the last month. Got a new cheap runaround, a wee polo, so hopefully I'l get back at this again soon!
Here's a screenshot I have of whats displayed on the little netbook on my dash.:D

Getting very fed up at the moment with the car. Its stuck at my house out in the back arse of wicklow in the snow.

And my garage is in Wicklow town! Doesn't look like I'l be able to get it to the garage until after Christmas, as the snow out here is still mighty! Ahhh, very frustrating, as I'm doing alot of nights at the moment, so all these idle days could be occupied with turbo'ing!
Anyways, I thought I may as well do this job riht, so went all out and got some touch screen tunability!

I'm not doing the full map, just getting it running, which I have done now for the new injectors, the rest is getting done right.Quote:

My clutch arrived last night along with a strut brace slam panel and tow strap. Also have the new boost controller there too.
So it's booked into doctor gems next week where he's going to go nuts on it.
Building me a cage, doing the clutch and maybe even doing the turbo work too, then it will be off to get mapped and she'll be good to go.
Hopefully get out to a few practice days with it soon enough!!
really interested to see what the cage turns out like. You getting a weld in one I presume? Also where'd you track down the rx7 injectors from. Seem to be the most common and best solution alright. Just primary injectors off a FD is it?
ideally I wanted to wait for roco to build one, but he's not going to be back for another while, and I'd be confident enough with hems fab work to let him loose with it. It will probably be a bolt in if I get my way, but we'll see how it goes.Quote:

Have a warlbro anyway. Just missed out on 550 ones for 70 dollars in the US. Gonna keep searchin anyway, last piece I need to figure out I think
