Re: Peter Gidden of Sbits.

Why have you posted this all over again? Its exactly what you have already said. I did feel sorry for you when you first reported this but the fact that you have just gone on and on and on and on and on like a broken record , i just couldnt care less anymore. Eh, so I can show evidence I'm not maki...

Peter Gidden of Sbits.

Now first off I'd like to apologize sincerely for the ranting over the past while, despite the fact I've been severely pi$$ed off at what I see has and hasn't been done to my car it's not really acceptable. Now, there is literally so much I could say about what Peter Gidden and I agreed on regarding...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fuel gauge reading incorrectly.

Yours is a Rev1 ? re speedo bouncing make sure the speedo cable is fully connected, my old rev1 did that once I unlugged it & put it back on sorted it, other experiences with bouncing speedos has been faulty / worn, inner cables. As above double check everything is connected properly. friendly ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fuel gauge reading incorrectly.

litres man, litres man. How many litres does it take to fill up :) Fuel prices vary so 45quid of fuel could be 45 litres or 30 litres. The speedo takes it's feed directly from the gearbox then from the dash it goes back to the ECU. If the speedo needle is bouncing around then it could be as daft as...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fuel gauge reading incorrectly.

We put approximately 15 quids worth I'm at the side of the road and then I put another £45 in at the shell garage about 5 miles away. Do you think it may just need filled up to the brim a few times or does the needle need repositioned? Possible wiring fault? A turbo speedometer was fitted at the sam...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fuel gauge reading incorrectly.

Man has conversion done. Man drives 250 miles, fills up, drives further. No comment on Fuel gauge being faulty. Man than has the fuel pump replaced at a second garage (supposedly). Fuel gauge then reportedly doesn't work because he ran out of fuel. Man blames original garage for the needle being fa...

Where does the needle drop to when it runs out?


Needle goes right to the top and slightly past the last notch if you get me? Exactly as it was before the speedometer was replaced and dials replaced.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fuel gauge reading incorrectly.

It takes a coouple of tanks of fuel for it to rediscover what's full and empty. (Patrick replaced my fuel pump). If in doubt, put some in ? Well that's it now had is second full tank of fuel so I suppose I'll drive it until it starts to splitter and top up with a can from the boot and see where the...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] EBC question

So if my Blitz dual solenoid boost controller is working fine and is set correctly it shouldn't ever spike? Contrary to what the person that fitted the now working perfectly EBC said? I do wonder as the previous EBC ‘s I've had in other turbines cars have never spiked and I live in Scotland where ...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Fuel gauge reading incorrectly.

Well I've just spent two hours sitting in my car waiting for the RAC as it ran out of fuel on the way to my usual Shell garage to fill up with V Power. At first I thought it must be some sort of starvation problem but seeing as I've just paid to have the correct pump put in correctly and the Chinese...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] EBC question

It was hitting 13 psi when I collected the car and continued to do so for about 100 miles until the Chinese copy fuel pump instead of the TRE fuel pump I paid for plus installation packed in. It can hold 17 psi no problem now so it's always been working fine in reality. Had to spend over £500 to get...

I know all this and I agree guys, but I like my toys that's all.

Plus it's blue, which matches the interior leds, plasma dials and stereo. ;)

Re: Brake Cusco bracket

Actually, can anyone that has one fitted tell us what if any difference it makes and can you feel it? Seems like a really sensible potentially great mod at a great price.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo timer harness, block connector thingy.

I have a copy HKS turbo timer but I need the connecting harness. I have no idea if a genuine one will fit and do the job or if there are others out there I can use? Please bear in mind the car was originally a UK N/A. Thanks in advance. https://s25.postimg.cc/it229280b/1_A31_A0_DE-11_E0-4_DC2-_AFDA-...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Brake, clutch, throttle pedal heights?

At has just had a rev 3 turbo conversion, full rear clip but also including the clutch pedal. What I have noticed now is that the brake pedal sits further away or perhaps the throttle pedal is nearer my right foot now. I always heel and toe as much as possible but it's nearly impossible now due to t...
