Re: rev2 turbo brakes
yeah to be honest the car looked a bit neglected when i bought it so brake overhaul is on the cards and maybe some bushes or balljoints as theres a knocking and it gets a bit wobbly going over bumps and stuff but seems to corner ok.
but its getting there, runs great

rev2 turbo brakes
whats peoples views on rev2 turbo brakes?
mine are spongy and lack any sort of bite.
is it worth upgrading or would new discs,pads, and fluid be enough for a car running close to standard.
i dont really drive it hard but do like the brakes to be sharp

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] What can you do with the stock ECU?
iam in the same position as you mate, bought a rev2 few weeks back which seemed slow and wasnt running much boost at first i thought maybe the boost was turned down as clutch might be on its way out so fitted a boost controller and set it to 0.8 bar and am pretty happy with it now, seems quick enoug...

Re: heavy rain and missfire
one thing i did notice was the plug lead wasnt that hard to pull out as if there wasnt much of a seal.
the car will be in my garage most of the winter anyway its just ive been doing few jobs on it lately so its been outside my house for a few weeks
