What do you think of CFM, as we have been talking about doing a group rolling road day for a while.

Nice one Mike, it's good to see some more info about it.

Has to be worthwhile giving them a call-whether it's just for power runs or a bit of tuning too. They definitely know their stuff with the KR engines as they prepare a couple of mk2 race cars

Mike, what fuel pump are you running and did you need to use multiple gaskets again ?
The fuel pump was on the car when I got it - pretty sure it's not a standard mk1 gti item and it looks a lot like the one smudger1980 has on his car. Can get you a pic if you like? It runs with a 3.5bar FPR
Do you mean stacked head gaskets? If so, no - I went for low comp pistons instead during the rebuild as although I've heard of people perfectly happy with them, I'd always be thinking they were a potential weak point

What made you decide on the G60 versus say a lysholm screw ?

Mike, post the fuel pump pics up please. Is that a Scirocco inlet manifold you're using, if so, 46 or 50mm ?

It's a 'rocco manifold - 42mm I think, not 50 anyway.
I didn't really make the decision on G60 versus Lysolm charger as I bought the car with the G60 fitted so I just got it rebuilt. I've seen a few youtube clips of lysolm charged cars - without the silencer kit on them they sound mental!
Will get a pic and more info on the fuel pump tonight - not been out to the garage in a while but I should find time later, plus I put the car away wet last night after the Berks meet so it needs a run to make sure it's properly dry

Rod change kit for mk1 with 02A By Claus von Essen. Had read a bit about these but couldn't find a decent review (good or bad) from anyone that was running one, so thought I'd give it a try. All looks very nicely made
€105 so about £90 delivered
And these 02A mounts from Epytec
€94 delivered = £84 recommended by hotgolf. About half what they are on sale for over here.

Pretty sure my fuel pump is the same as Sumdger's although I couldn't see the number on it without cutting cable ties on the foam protector thing and don't have replacements to hand

Mike, does that mean your using the 02A casing with different internals ?
It's a mk3 16v 'box (CDA) with VR6 final drive and Peloquin diff. The ratios end up being pretty much the same as a VR6 box but the bellhousing on that would be different for the 6 cylinder engine.
It's possible to change ratios in the box while it's being rebuilt, although 1st and 2nd come as a pair so you you have to change them both together if you want to

I am using a Bosch 044 pump in my 20v. Plenty powerful enough according to the experts. Fits snugly in the foam and GTI cradle. Pics are in my build thread (link below).tidymike said
