Manual Boost Controller - Any good?

Featured Replies

If you put one of these on the car will it make much difference?

What is the standard 1.8T boost pressure? Something like 0.6bar?

Cheers!

Yep, 0.6 sounds about right. Try not to go above about 1.2 on the turbo "yours" has

Should make a reasonable difference. Did he leave the one I gave him in the car?

I wasnt going to go big at all.

No I dont think so.... Did this car used to be yours?

Was it in the engine bay though or just loose?

Ive got to replace the shocks on it cos they are crap. Scoring the tyre edges and I have a journey to do tommorrow and dont trust it at the moment.

I cant get hold of Disco at the moment. Havent been able for 2 weeks. Seriously ****ed off. Do you live near him at all?

Cheers!

What a surprise, he didn't fit the Ledas I gave him :rolleyes: He has a set of Leda tarmac rally shocks and RS springs, probably still in his living room. Suppose I ought to get them back if he ain't going to need them.

Boost control is probably with the shocks.

Ain't spoken to him in a while, last I heard was when you were on the phone to Gossy (I was round at Gossy's for a cuppa). :(

Ive got them in the back of the car mate. Are they easy to fit? I will fit them onto the car today if that is the case. Just take the shocks off, put the spring compressors on them, dismantle them and put the top mounts on the Leda shocks.

Or do I just unbolt the old ones and bolt the new ones on?

Are they any good the Leda ones? Any better than the existing ones?

Ill have a look in the box :)

No news yet..... Im getting used to the Skoda after 3 months of 'Ownership'.

Im tempted to mod this now ;)

About 30 mins per corner. Fit existing top mounts to the Ledas. Rears really are very, very easy.

Yes they are good.

Should still be set OK, if not try 5 clicks (from softest) on rear and 4 front. Put them above about 15 clicks from softest and you will probably fall off the road, above 20 is track only.

Cheers mate, shall I just reuse the rubber seals for the top mounts etc?

:haha:

Lol!

Just had a go the other day, bolt are well tight. Any ideas what to undo them with?

Also when undoing the top mount it just spins. Whats the best way to secure it?

The springs have been cut thats why the ride is crap :(
