No probs, Indeed strength is important but reasonable to fit will make it appealling to more people and tuners a like. I do like what i've seen on your other thread of the V3 and repect to those involved in the desire to make it better. Fitting the turbo to the manifold is quite easy. i mocked up the V1 to the turbo before fitting to see how easy that was in comparison and i have to be honest and say that i was unable to reach the hidden bolt even on the floor so much respect to those that managed to fit the V1.Hi karl. Can you pm me your phone number? I have some pics i want to send you. As for the v3 being stronger this was the main aim but we have also made it easier to fit .
Thanks Mate, hows the cupra coming along. Do you have any contact with Vern these days.Glad to see your continuing with development mate. Keep up the good work.
Good to hear your out of hospital mate. Good news also that the V3's are too far away either. Get the AEM fitted mate your missing out on some serious power gains, set aside a day to get it installed neatly and no one would even know its there.Nice one carl, i keep meaning to fit my aem wmi kit but keep putting it off, just because i want a oem looking install so will take twice and long and twice as hard to fit lol
Keep up the good work buddy.
Most of my miles are to and from RR days etc, shes my weekend toy.Interesting read lots of food for thought. I can't belive you have so few miles on the clock!
The V3 manifold sound very tempting along with WMI.
Thanks Mate, hows the cupra coming along. Do you have any contact with Vern these days.
Yeah. It's coming along nicely mate. Plans still afoot (probably lol)
Yes, still see a bit of Vern every now and again, he isn't too much in the car scene anymore unfortunately but still a petrol head haha. Their expecting another little Vern jnr (congrats again Vern if you read this)
Was absolutely ages ago when we met you lol at JBS. That's why I'm glad you stuck with the R and keep continuing, like to see that.
