Its a nice hot day again today... who else is noticing how much more lethargic their turbocharged car feels over the last few days..

maybe the pikey mod + waterspray would be a good idea... (pikey mod works, and indeed was originally designed for octys too)

or maybe a fmic is needed

Nope......but what's that big shiny thing sitting infront of the radiator?

A Welsh Sheep?

Actually mines been amazingly swift...I think I'm too tired but I've nearly hit 3 cars this week...all of them going left while I wait to go straight on....heatsoak...nice if your in the sauna, not so good if your trying to out run an R32

Heatsoak? What's that then? :confused:

My old one didn't get it. Mind, that might have been down to the far cough FMIC I had fitted (bigger than any of the others) or more latterly the waterspray.

Wow 3 replys and all mods...

Id love to be sat in a outdoor sauna right now.. or to be sat outside right now would do :(

Colin, my spaced out friend... youd have much better luck outrunning the R32 if you owned a fabia vRS... :P

Ah, it is so nice lying here in my hammock in the garden with wireless broadband

Thumns up for the Pikey Mod

Fitted my TT wheel arch vent yesterday evening and might I recommend the purchase of a pop rivet gun and some small washers for a particularly good join

I havent noticed any performance degradation at all....

Oh I forgot, I dont have a turbo either :P

My car seems alright?? :confused:

Pd130 lump here seems happy enough..........blew away yet another 3 series Coupe......(but probably a poverty spec 318 model under all the stick on bits from Halfrauds it was wearing!)

Or does the same engine in the VW Passat already have an IC? Seem to remember someone suggesting it had one, although side-mounted?

no heat soak here either :P

and the vRS has an intercooler on the side the same as nearly all the other tdi vag cars and all the 1.8T except the S3 and LCR that have twin side mount intercoolers

my A4 has twin intercoolers too

Mine felt pretty OK, but I didn't get much testing chance today, and its not been AS warm down here as other parts of the UK. I saw 20 degC, no more.

Pretty soon I won't be bothered about heatsoak at all.
