FTO AUSTRALIA

ok sweet man so you mounted them in the exact same place as before mate very cool. I thought you might have been able to use the big fan on the passenger side mate but I am guessing the turbo hits still. Might have to see were you got them from man so I can buy them.

Thats strange mate... mine is a hard plastic one .. seems harder than the normal ones but possibly a bit thinner..

Nope, used 2 x 10inch generic slimline fans mounted in the same place that the standard fans were.

Can you post a pic of that? I really would like to see how you fitted them in aye... not really a fan of where mine are mounted, but I think not worth the effort to relocate mine

By the way, got any templates of your turbo up pipes?

ok thanks a million ben will order them when I get home tonyt mate. I hope everything gets here before the motor goes in

Hoping to get the car back today, so I might be able to do pics / templates.

There's plenty of work to do before your fans are needed. They are just about the last thing that goes in.

yeah I know that ben just want everything ready so the car is complete and they just have to put the wiring loom in.

This just keeps getting better & better .. they sounds like a pack of complete wombats mate.. I feel sorry for ya.

Hey mate,

I'm getting a bit of a fluctuation @ idle .. 'tis a bit lumpy & at first I just put it down to it being "one of those things" that happen with a turbo

Starting to think that it isn't tuned right though.. isn't it a sign that the mixture is too lean @ idle?

Might be those plugs breaking down even further mate..

true enough .. will see how badly they've been fouling on me when I crack her open ..

What is the story with your coil packs? Are the workshop going to be replacing them with some aftermarket ones? If so, what type & how much? (Kempy's does the OEM ones, $125 each, or 3 for $300 if you're staying OEM)

I'm thinking I might just keep on with the ones I have on there right now (I don't think they're giving me any issues - but will wait & see)

Let me know how you go with the coil packs & if the leads from I.C.E. ignition are compatible with them etc

Have you checked your fuel map? Sounds like a nasty hole. That's why you are loading in third!

j/k, but seriously, sounds like you may be overfuelling at idle. Have you had a chance to get it in for a tune session on the dyno yet?

Sorry, I am still miffed by the inclusion of all the sh*tty cliches in the 4th movie, but they didn't have that priceless one

Was the little VW driving white boy as they pulled up at the sandwich shop, looking at Vince's Maxima

(this one may be wrong)

"Just tune another millisecond on the NOS timer and you'll run 9's"

This question goes to bennoz or anyone that knows ppl...but how much did the high-flowing of your turbo's cost you??

About $500 each from memory.

I'm not too sure what type of bearing the 6a13 turbo's have but when it was high flowed did they replace it with ball bearings? Is that mate's rate as well??

Hey Ben,
Just my FTO the other week and the legnum half cut is on its way , could you please give more info on modifying the wategate actuators or who can do it?, great job btw
