I have 2.5" pipework and a mahoosive intercooler which certainly does make it worse! I had dodgy cam timing when I first did the conversion so now it seems fantastic by comparison! I'd say give it a couple more weeks before you think about doing anything, especially a new map c.£400 :S________________________________________ There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't... |

To be fair what you said to do has made it alot better and I am very thankful to you for that great advice, im sure in time I will get used to it and it will be like the problem doesn't exist anymore. But on the plus side I think it is still a worthwhile conversion and is great fun  ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

I remember seeing your threads about the problems you were having. I hope it's all sorted now ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

Yes thanks  it was a stupid mistake with the cambelt by myself, had it checked by an ''expert" who said it was fine... Rich and Nick were incredibly patient with me to be fair and got it all sorted out in no time! Now I absolutely love it. Just getting a new full 2.5" exhaust fitted finally as it blew up the standard cat  How long has yours been charged?________________________________________ There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't... |

I had the same issues with mine with the big intercooler and pipework on low boost but the newMap improved it and after a few weeks I got used to not dipping the clutch too early, I do think it makes better power with the bigger pipework though and a remap should sort it. That was the main reason I took it down to lynx, I thought I might aswell of gone super high boost while I was there I loved the low boost conversion though, it was more fun in a way than super high boost, and it felt very reliable all round, as it is now im expecting the engine to rip the mounts out of the chassis or the gearbox to disintegrate any moment ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Yeah true I had the new map at the same time as the problem solving, and it idles a lot better and doesn't make me look a fool as often. Nick said yours and mine both felt like faster examples despite our not so good exhaust systems so I think you're right!Is yours mapped yet? I'm eagerly waiting proper vids! Looked immense when I saw it getting the new charger  ________________________________________ There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't... |

it's going to happen very soon, I'm just adding a few final Touches and I've been sorting a few small issues, my exhaust is one thing I'm thinking of changing for something new and unique and the same with the intercooler. I got caught speeding a couple of months back and have just received the summons today, so I'll see what happens there first  was yours at lynx while mine was there? ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Sweet, keep us posted! Aw s**t man, it is difficult to resist the temptation of the loud pedal on low boost never mind super high. Hope it comes out alright, was it a great many leptons over the limit if you don't mind me asking? Yeah, mine was only there for a couple of days while they sorted out my muppetry though. Clocked the car then saw the jet engine waiting to go in ________________________________________ There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't... |

Just getting a new full 2.5" exhaust fitted finally as it blew up the standard cat How long has yours been charged?I've been charged about 2 months, seems we have very similar setups as I also currently have a standard exhaust and cat in place however Miles is doing me a full 2.5" system too. Will be interesting to see what (if any) difference the new system makes ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

I agree though, everytime I drive it I think I'm going to break it, maybe I did with low boost but after 2 years of owning it you forget it's modified. Might get like this with my current one and not worry as much... ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

Yeah good luck Andy, at least it doesn't say in the 50. Typical it wasn't in the '6 m306 I just picked mine up this morning with the new exhaust, it is definately noticeable! Fires through the higher revs much easier and feels much less restricted, it is quite a bit louder though and I have fairly large boxes.... nice noise though Agree with Chris, especially on low boost because the whole engine can be replaced fairly cheaply if you do manage to ruin it! For the performance it is cheap motoring really! ________________________________________ There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't... |

Ah bugger, read it wrong! Good luck mate. Paul I got a custom 2.5" mandrel bent system with interchangeable cat/decat over in Pewsey, used to be Longlife Amesbury. Cannot recommend them highly enough and the system is beautiful, seems a shame to hide it under the car ________________________________________ There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't... |

Thought it wasn't wise to have solid throughout as the engine needs to move? ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

Yes my pipework cracked but the engine mount had come loose so it was rocking around. After repairing it and Fixing the top engine mount it was sound but I didn't have it long before going high boost. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |
