My lads car insurance

N/A or TT insurance is cheaper?
i would say that an na will be more expensive im sure ive been told by a chap who works in insurance that its that way because nas are crashe dmore blah blah blah. more *****x excuses. but i also agree your na moded to a tt will cost more as they will declare it as a modified na. which technically it is. i know this because when i had my capri i looked at throwing a 2.8 lump in it from a 2.8i but as it was a 2.0 from factory it was going to cost twice the price for what it would to insure a genuine from factory 2.8. your best bet is to declare the orginal tt. so that you have effectivily and with vosas knowlegde reshelled the tt car. i wouldnt advise not declaring your swap, if it was something like you had change dthe internals of the na then i would be turning ablind eye as if they had to investoigate in that much detail you would likley be dead in any event. or in serious shit that would make the other bit irrelivant. however the tt engine sitting in there is a bit how do they say in france......... er...........obvious.

conversion done :) few issues...
In fairness seeing how much the block moves about I wouldnt be surprised if you have created one or two boost leaks and there the issue.

my zed wont idle ?
Mine idles at 900 rpm always has.
-
HP results???
Problem is dave, there shitty cars that no one but us likes... All jokes aside, there not very common mosdt garages cant or wont touch them, to do anything like injectors and tubs is a pain in the ass. also itx about usage, how driveable is a zed with 500 horses with no traction control? We all know the answer.

Getting the TT engine ready
Do the rocker seals if you have the time, and clear the oil and water pipes. Replace any small water pipesat the back.

Clutch hose
We are doing them together craig, so were discussing this and could decide what to do about the booster and its assosiated lines.
-
Another random question?
i cant see much point tbh, yeah its hot under there but there has to be a point of it not making much difference obviously if you were planning on making an endurance racer or running serious serious hp for long times then maybe but in the mid range of power i think one large rad would be man enough. rear mounting is an option ive seen on many cars but im sure the main reason is durability rather than anything else. i think you should go with a large aftermarket rad maybe a coolant expansion part to allow you to carry more juice, and a good quality oil cooler. cant see ypou needing more than that tbh. maybe venting the bonnet if your really paranoid.

Original wheels
i agree with richard, my zed handled much better when i put stock rims on. but i had an alignment done aswel. massive difference. seems worse traction sinc ei fitted the 18s but i needs rejigging as ive moved alot of the suspension recently.
-
Heat ratings of spark plugs
the ngk plugs that were fitted rom factory where actually specifally designed for the zed. so its best to stick with them theyre was alot money put into getting them right. most find there is no need for cooler plugs this side of 450bhp. there was a recent tread carmad had going where he was running 555 injectors without the cooler plugs it just didnt work right.
