Peanut butter + Paper towels = cheap way to refurb faded black plastics! Can't remember where I first found this tip, but used it on my daily driver (old Skoda) about two years ago and the trim still looks new! Excuse the crap pics, looks better in person!

Hi Guys, I need to remove the stock boost solenoid in order to get to the turbo water pipes beneath it. How should I go about this? The bolts on the bracket mounting it to the chassis don't seem to want to move. I have no idea about the little screws holding the solenoid itself onto the bracket and I'm a bit wary of trying to disassemble the solenoid anyway. By the way, what is the chunk of machinery it shares the mounting with? cheers chris

when i bought the car the orrigional stearing wheel had being removed so therfore the cruse control unit was also missing. assuming nothing else has being removed (how would i check if it had?) how big of a job is it to install the unit in the dash?

Hey everyone! as my new motor is completely standard, what would you all recommend i do first? Ive had a look for a thread about the best path to take from standard, but cant seem to find one that answers my question. i think i would like a bit more noise outta her, as my mera GTi was loud as hell, and i cant get used to the quiet running lol, so i was thinking dump/blow off valve, back box and air filter. im not too bothered at the moment about extra power, as ive just stepped up from a SR20DE to the Wholly Awesome VG30DETT. with the mera i had to eek out as much oomph as i could lol but i dont think thats an issue here :-) Cheers in advance :-)
