My overheating problems came from my fans, first they ate the fan shroud and were binding up, then the fuse kept on blowing. *knocks on wood* I've gotten all of that worked out and have been perfect for almost 2 months now.

So the Automatic radiator is sufficient for a TT conversion.

I need to read through your thread. I'm not on here enough recently.

Cool, I have my stock NA in now, but I have a 1st gen Auto radiator in the garage, so I guess I'll go ahead and put that in since it's thicker.

John, it has been ages bro. How's everything going? Your car looks sick! How much boost are you running these days? Any dyno charts?

J-Groove · 02-25-2009, 04:51 PM

Work is crazy, I just popped in here.

I'll post up an update tonight. Not good news happened last night while leaving work. Not turbo related, more 14 year old car related. haha

Long story short, I'm pretty sure my harmonic balancer went out in my crank pulley. Engine is running great but I have no accessories haha.

Hey John,

I have a question for you about your turbo spool with the higher compression. You have a NA engine right? Isnt that 10:1 CR? Do you have any data on the spool with the 13Ts with 10:1?

Thanks for your input,

Rob

TheZephire · 02-25-2009, 10:30 PM

he had a n/a, but after finding a crack in his block he got a tt block and he has 9:1 pistons.
