Have been having a few problems getting my boost to set correctly. So does anyone here have one in your z that you can show a diagram of how you have it plumbed in please. I have it plumbed in as folloes on mine Pressure sensor dirict into balance bar Solonoid has two sides, COM & NO. COM is linked via a t-peice from both Wastgate actuators NO is then linked via t-peice direct to both dump valves. But still even with the avcr set to off(so shouldnt boost above .85bar it will boost to death when it shouldnt go above the .85bar. Have i plumbed anything incorrectly?

does anyone know the checklist of causes for safety boost?

this car is gonna be the bain of my life. !!!! bought her as an auto tt and coudn't find anything wrong. but now i've replaced all running gear with manual na plus all the easy mods...air filter,pulleys ,exhaust etc. deleted loads and now i want to get onto the next job she gives me another! anyway i've found a 35mm in diameter hose near egr ,behind plenum that needs replacing. can this hose be done without plenum pull?

Well my zed is in the body shop and not back for another 2 weeks! :( I have a nice new set of rota gtr's to fit plus my tein coilovers and i just want it back and get all my new shinny bits fitted asap!

Has anybody got or knows where i can get the manual for this ooober rare piece if kit.

Saw a white TT parked on the drive today about 10:00am, I wont say the exact address.

Well it just gets better n better does my car. Get one thing fixed and watch something else brake. So i noticed what started as a little crack on my windscreen and over the last week its grown. So i call my insurance company who arrange for autoglass to come out and replace it. Only when he gets here he tells me that he has the wrong glass. They got a blue window with no top blue visor tint. And then proceeds to look at the window surround and tells me it looks a little rusty in the middle and could take the glass out, but unless i go to a bodyshop and have it repaired there he wouldnt refit it. So i tell him i do all my own bodywork, and i will do the repair…

as above, on saturday afternoon. looked very clean as i drove past. i didnt have a chance to stop for a better look :-(

Seen you today around 2pm just passing the car wash before the roundabout I was in my truck

as there have been a couple of new arrivals to the zed scene over the last couple of weeks, i thought ide start a thread listing the baby seats that will (and wont) fit in a zed with no modification. as i really struggled to get one when we first had our littleun. if anyone has a baby seat fitted to thier zed, or have tried and found that one wont fit, please could you list it here so that anyone wanting a child seat for the zed can have somewhere to start their search. cheers Will Fit 1.

Right then, after what feels like a long absence, im back in a zed! Its a Manual NA, Registered on a T reg! Its not a T reg 1999 car, but a cock up with the DVLA means its wearing a T reg, which looks cool in my opinion. Its a S4, so has the nicer dark Seats, and the rear seats and armrest have been replaced with black leather. Some polished bling under the bonnet (balance bar etc) 19" wheels, just referbed and done no miles with new tyres when i picked it up. Not to sure on the rear lights, the are not my thing, but kind of suit it to be honest. Some nice touches such as a carbon looking stereo surround. Engine is nice and smooth and the clutch a…

Hi gang, I have my eyes on a new set of wheels for the zed. I currently have 19s. 8.5" fronts, 10" rears. There is absolutely no problem with scraping or rubbing. Infact the fronts could do with 20mm spacers. The new wheels are also 19s. Only this time, 9.5" fronts and 11" rears. Should i have any issues with this? Some details: Bolt pattern 5x114.3 Hub bore 73.1 Offset front +22, rear +25. If it makes much difference, i have fully adjustable camber arms and tension rods. Not got coilovers yet though, but lowered about 30mm if i remember rightly. Thanks

N/A Diff Conversion does it need N/A Speed Sensor ? going to do a Conversion soon and have all the items needed does it need the N/A Speed sensor as thinking about it the sensor is on the gearbox and it wouldnt know what RPM/rotation the wheels will be outputing Cheers Mark

I've just had my suspension adjusted, the car cornerweighted and tracked today to try and make it handle like it should. I've only done about 3 miles in it since it was done but wow what a difference.. Anyway the paperwork with my car now has stated an all up weight of 1353KG which seems low, could it be right?. That would have been without a driver and perhaps 1/3 tank of fuel. Its a standard (ish) TT manual slicktop. A/C has been removed + carbon canister and the weight in the boot lid (lol) No cruise, airbag, manual heating controls and only 1 electric seat. Any thoughts?

i spotted this on ebay, its in the use but i expect there must be a uk version for slae somewhere? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Front-Bumper-Lip-Splitter-VW-Audi-Honda-BMW-/150634678691?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item231286c9a3

Hi all, As some of you already know I bought my car with an overfuelling problem. Since I bought it, it has been sitting for 3 months at my girlfriends parents place awaiting me to start on it, all I have done before today is filled with fresh oil and replaced the spark plugs with some more NGK's and fired it up, it sounded fine all the way up to temp with a heavily smoking exhaust and revved freely. The only sound that caused concern was the turbine rattling in the housing that Jeff identified when he looked at it for the previous owner. Today I chucked 10 litres of fuel in it and fired it up. It chugged away with smoke puffing out the exhaust, the more gas the…

The old speedometre in my car was broke so i got a second hand one and fitted it yesterday. However, it still doesn't work so obviously the problem wasn't the instument panel. I'm thinking it must be a cable or maybe a sensor but not too sure where to start. The rev counter works as does the temp gauge but i cant tell how fast im going which isn't good. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

does anyone by any chance know the part numbers for the two identical springs that return the throttle back to idle? please

Anyone got some fitted? Any links? I'n on about the cheaper ones, as I think 250-300 quid new for a pair of branded ones is a rip off. What size pipe are the OEM recircs? Cheers, Tudor...
