It has low load when your not moving. It easier to understand when you see it on the MAP gauge in Megatune. Anyway went for a drive last night, was pleasantly surprised how it felt with the rough map on it. Had about 4-5 psi showing on the gauge at times but that wasn't giving full throttle. Weird how it feels like the old engine, with more response when the boost starts to come on. Can't wait to get it mapped properly. Done about...

ok doesnt sound too hard judging by what is written on the qpeng site. Can the custom downpipes be sourced cheaper than what is listed? wiring on post 91 Corrado is supposed to be harder anyone got any info on this? and what sort of money should I be paying for one of the more powerful engines/turbos such as one found in an S3?

@ mk3anniversary: As far as I'm aware, the road tax is based on engine size for cars manufactured prior to March 2001. From the information here , anything under 1549cc costs £125 p/a, and anything over costs £190 p/a. I thought the diference was greater than that when I put the first post up. I've seen loads+loads+loads of cars for sale with larger engines fitted, e.g. 1.3 mk2 golf cl -> vr6 where the seller has stated that...

Really nice project by the way, impressive stuff! jealous! Not at light loads where you want fuel economy and have a catalyst mate. Actually you can be at stoich even at full load and that rpm but that is another story.

Well the never ending project, longest running thread continues. Car is still running, I still have not done everything for the MOT. Plan is a New Year MOT and tax, but then I keep knocking it back. In the mean time, I have broken a Mk1 Cab for parts and just bought a Corrado VR6 to de-chav. Project "back of the queue" will remain just that.

If there was a Guiness World Record for "Most Dull Build Thread", yours would surely be a contender How about some pics?
