At speeds above 130 KMh under moderate to heavy boost the light comes on, only when the car has been cruising at motorway speeds for 5 to 10 minutes in otherwords the car is hot. When I turn off and on the ignition the li...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] RE: Name that bodykit. Please help!!!!!

Thanks guys for the help.
I will try to get the bumper fixed if possible.
Although the passenger side is very bad compared to what you see.
Where can I get a cheap bomex if I cannot get it fixed?

Cheers guys..

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] RE: New turbo technologies. VNT/ VVT

In regards to the 911 turbo, i would love to see a plot of boost pressure vs RPM for that..

I am not sure how to control the VNT turbo actuator from what I know some of the old diesel ones were electrical (solenoid i think).

Surely this must be possible in a 2.. :pray: :pray: :pray:
