Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Stalling problem and very low idle

Have i done something wrong?

[Mk2] [Turbo] Lowering springs

Hi all i no this has been asked million of times before, I am looking at getting some lowering springs for my rev 3 this week, i would be running them on standard shocks. What ones would be recommended? I have looked at Tein Or Apex ones. Which are better as in ride hight and stiffness.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Intercooler and Boost Question

I see what u mean now. Yea i would be happy with that kinda result. I have looked into a intercooler. Nearly all are sold with out a fan. Do they have a fan on the standard intercooler?
