[john_o]

I think its def something thats changed so it needs to be reviewed and possibly put back to OE for a new dyno run.
exciting thread or what 
thanks for the feedback jonny

Jonny if you look at the pic of hoses I put up on the right hose in the pic it's got a jubilee clip on the bottom and at the top it's got a plastic cover over the top of it and if you look close near the top u can see the black o ring going around the top of it.

Yeah I can see that, and I agree 100% that the pics you put up of your S3 hoses have an o-ring fitted, but in the picture of Illyuns S3 hoses there is no o-ring.. Thats the important one, as thats the hose that is fitted to his car..

Im not trying to be clever, I just made an observation, and as far as I can tell, that hose has no o-ring on it..

Anyways sure we will find out today..

The pics I posted are of the OEM pipes and the pics that Mat Ed30 posted are the ones where he did an install himself on his car presumably.

correct

I wonder if replacing the contents of the engine bay like engine, turbo, battery, fuse box, all engine ancillaries, the wiring loom, the body shell and associated parts like wings and rear hatch, the lights, the dash, seats, gearbox, pedals, sat-nav, carpet etc... will solve the problem?  


Oh, I forgot the tyres... they're important

Just buy mine?

As with all of my cars, they are for sale from the day I buy them for the right price..

Will the price be the same with the carbon fibre wheels on them?

If you sold your car for say £20k or something - which is cheap - someone could sell the cf alloys, your seats and other bits and pieces and get £10k back and still have a superb car.... not that I'm giving anyone any ideas of course    Personally, I'd love to see you get to an optimal power to weight ratio (without going to the extreme of making it just another track car) and see what time you get at Santa Pod.  I doubt very much that anyone in a Mk5 GTI/Ed30/Pirelli will come close in terms of 1/4 mile times this year or the next... unless some nutter decides to go big turbo

Sorry - its bad news... but JKM are carrying on.  Its looking like it might be the actual engine block and there is a further test they will be doing this/next week  :sad; I spoke to Keith today after reading JonnyCs thread) and suggested going down the water/meth big turbo route just to mask the bloody problem (and have big power on tap  ) and lower temperatures to overcome the problem.  He didn't think it was a good solution to the problem.
