Yeah 10 pounds a go 😜👍 will see what happens, apparently thiers a speed bump getting in? I'm not to low but my exhaust is a little, so that will determine how many times I'll be coming and going haha

And no I won't be checking for boost around the site haha

Fancy taking me for a demonstration of the vehicles abilities at the show?

I understand if you don't because then everyone will want a go!

It's allright you could help me push it if it breaks 😄

Deal.

Took my mum for a spin haha, took it real easy until we hit a straight, she wouldn't stop

Screaming and clinging to the seat belt 😂 i took it easy after that haha.

that's the spirit. Try not to leave me for dust on the way up!

Lovely to finally see this at the Polo Social.

Yeah nice to meet you too 👍 i enjoy people recognising the hard work and asking questions.

I've now done allmost 700 miles at this level of tune, and I think on the motorway i got 35-40 mpg when not on boost, the polo social was awesome, the drive up the car got abit hot, hit 110 in traffic :( on the way back after I adjusted the idle it was so much smoother low down and the power delivery is great, I was getting afr readings 12/3 12/2 on low boost w.o.t, I'm aiming for 11.5 so the main jets gonna need upsizing 👍 and I think it's time or the next spring up in the forge actuator 😜

"A little hot" is understating a bit. We stopped at a services and there was smoooooke. She went okay other than though! Was an interesting drive up! I got about 45mpg out of the Golf which was suprising. Was a pleasure meeting you and driving up together bud!

Maybe some cowling around the radiator to help the cooling airflow go where it is needed?

You already said you wanted to fit an oil cooler.

Yeah just sat at 110 maxed out on the temp gauge haha, pleasure to drive up and spend the weekend with you too mate 👍

I've not got a lot of room around the rad :( think I'll try an alloy rad, I've got a low temp fan switch coming, I'll see what happens.

Just bought a low temp fan switch :)

excellent.

Is there any shielding to keep the radiant turbo heat from the rad? (or inlet)

Nice to meet you at the PS mate. Though me and olly had probably had too much to drink when we saw you! haha

Car looks good!

Which rad are you using again? I wouldn't worry too much about radiant heat, id probably think about getting a bigger volume of coolant and more efficient heat exchangers in there!

With 3 times the power, comes 3 times the heat (or near enough)

Nice to meet you too mate, I'm running a standard polo rad 😂 I'm thinking about getting alloy g40 rad, and then I need to sort my oil cooler out. And like you say lots of heat :(

Only heat wrap on the down pipe, havnt really made any heat shields or anything else.

Id suggest getting a mk2 golf radiator, nice and cheap and about 50% bigger than the polo rad.

Id also heat wrap the downpipe etc, no point in putting a shield there as it will just get hot itself, then radiate the heat.

Which mk2 golf rad? Any? Sounds cheaper and better, do all the polo pipes/temp switch fit straight in?

Got my rad for about £26 for the Golf. Just for price perspective.

I would imagine the GTI ones are better though, still shouldn't be too much.

Pretty cheap then! Gives me something to think about

Had an awesome drive of this tonight and a passenger ride in a 240 Bhp vxr I need to wind the boost up
