Just noticed that I’ve never put any pics of my car on here!!!
Here’s a quick history of ownership. Please enjoy!!
I had a new custom inlet made by a friend of mine. First ever attempt at this!!
Taking the old manifold out
Look at the crack!!! (And the chemical metal!!!)
Old against new
New manifold nearly ready to go on
It’s now on the car and we’re gonna do a little shakedown but all is looking and sounding good!!
It’s a cracking fit and I’m over the moon with it!!
My mate decided that he had to take some pics of my car. Who was I to stand in his way? Here’s a few. He’s got a few more to sort through.

Thats about par for the course in this neck of the woods. [

Chris – The air box is from SWG. Looks pretty good to me and hopefully adds its little bit to the power party!!http://www.swgmotorsport.com/asps/ShowDetails.asp?id=170
Thats great news, I know someone who has been looking for one of those air box tops for a long time, dont I, eh Pascal. [:p]
Hi,
Well to be honest… i like the novelty of the product.
Only there’s one catch… lubrication of the charger.
Vw did a stunning job of getting everything ‘recycled’.
For emissions that was a good thing. Now we have a charger
which is having no return oil sump breather and warm boosted
air return. The first is negative, especially with old model
chargers which incorporate the old apex seals that have bronze into
them, mixed with teflon. You will then get a worn out scroll/displacer within 3-4 months… because of the non-lube situation. I’m told by a very well known tuner/overhauler over here… so i’ll take his knowledge for granted . The newer apex seals are completely of plastics, and also wear out quicker with the non-lube situation… i’d think i’d inform you….. Warned people can make their mind up abouth ‘tuning-measurements)
There is a solution. reroute the carterbreather from the top of the
cyl.head.cover with a t-piece into the 2nd intakepipe. This ensures a
bit of lube, and is not harmfull at all, since it’s also originally introduced into the 2nd inlet.
Have a nice day, and check that charger once a while. If not sure, i
can help out…
Greetings,
Pascal
Emm.. Jason… Be sure Gwerks put GOOD materials into your charger… i’ve found lots of unwanted inferiour stuff in Mark White’s charger a few months ago..
He had his charger also been overhauled by them… of pitstop dev…. (they work together)
One oilseal was almost popping out… Luckily Mark was still on a original pulley so no big oil pressure-burst pushed it out. I opened up Mark’s charger when he was at my
place previous year… a very nice visit, and a supurb running car afterwards…
B.t.w. who did your mapping ?? I saw there is a 20V under the hood… nice !!!! only is it also cam-adjusted via the ecu ? (thats 15-20 bhp gain) over here we also had
such a project… with a g-charger+GT35 TURBO… Dutch master JD was at work on this one (his buddy Roy Koenen got a special treatment from JD on the rollers … (owner of this blue piece of engineering… JD-Engineer !)
