Rich. Then we need to have a good long chat about the r32 conversion.

I've got my lump in bits rebuilding it etc but I've been massively let down by someone so I'm either eurowise or S&P and I know you went eurowise.
Ha no worries chap  :thumbs:Eurowise or S&P will work but also the eyptec mount kit.

I spoke to S&P about some other parts recently and they won't ship to the UK! Good ole Boris and no trade agreement or something along those lines.

Eurowise will happily ship though. I think some USA companies don't want the headache of the extra paper works since brexit.

Let me know when you want a chat, might need to run a conference as a few other people need to join  :lol:

I've chatted to the S&P guy and he said I can't order via the website but I can through eBay (different rules 🤷🏼)

I've heard mixed opinions re the eyptec mounts not sitting level.

Which rad did you use?

Did you fit a lsd when rebuilding gearbox?

I used the Eurowise one with a single spal fan and a low temperature thermostat. If anything it's probably over cooling the engine. Dual fans aren't really required with this rad.

No LSD, might fit one in the future but you can have plenty of fun without one. Depends how extreme you are cornering really, for track definitely but on the road it's fine without it.

I ask because the last mk1 I did (money pit) with a 20vt running 265bhp really needed a lsd as it was wild, these r32's output similar but don't come on song with 24psi boost 🤔

It's more linear power delivery but is a hand full if you go for it. If you have the budget go for it from the off.

I have a spare box I will convert in the future.

I agree about the power delivery hence why I'm asking.

This cars never going to see a track or real fresh outside air for fact 😂 but I would like do it right from the off.

Slap one on and let me know where I can drop off my spare box for you to do as well  :lol:

Yes you will need it  :thumbs: . I haven't done a lot of miles since my conversion but when you do plant it she has the torque steers for sure  :o :lol:.

Down in the deepest depths of Devon unfortunately. Quite a journey from the East Midlands.
