my new gti

Hi there, I recently bought a swift gti and In the window it as a "ssgti.com" sticker so I thought
I'd sign up and say hello.
This is the only picture I've taken

Tbh it feels a bit down on power and not quite as planted as it should be,
I think this is down to the engine mounts, I've already changed one but has not solved the sketchy-ness. I need to change the bulkhead and gearbox mounts but cannot find any, i'd perfer poly mounts if anyone knows where to find them?
I'm also looking for a standard backbox (i'm in northeast england).

Cheers
danny

I can't wait till this mount arrives to see if it cures the poor handling issue.
After I have sorted the gearbox mount I plan to turbo the standard block and run low boost,
Any body have experience with these australian cast manifolds? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120609276050&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Work out quite cheap at £180 odd, but that's before they sting me with import taxes.

I've been using your search bar to find a list of exactly what's needed to fit the turbo and just have a few questions, 1 what's the fifth injector for and what size do I need?
and secondly, is this chip as good as it says it is? so if i socket this to fit, then there's no need for custom mapping etc?

Sorry for all the questions as you can tell i'm new to swifts, bit of a downgrade in size compared to my last fast car..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y77rsm9PeU8 I loved that car lol.

cheers

what time did you get wiv the vulva?

gary

yes those manifolds will work come with a 6 month warrenty aswell for a extra 60 dollars he does a stainless steel version. i am selling the turbo chip you need for £50 at the moment only 3 avalible at this price one is pending. all new.

you do not need any fifth injector of any kind no with the chip no mapping is requiered starts drives every day like a every day car

basically

bolt on turbo
chip ecu
oil and water lines
boost pipeing

away you go 175 bhp at around 10psi

The best I managed at pod was 15.1 not much grip off the line, I later fitted a larger volvo turbo (18t) and supporting mods and made 286 at the fly but never timed it again but it felt much quicker.

Please could you reserve me one of them chips, untill I can get the funds.
I am on a very tight budget tbh just want to get the car driving A1 before I start boosting.
Are you running the td04? what year wrx can you get them off and was yours new or used?

Many thanks and your build thread is ace, thanks
danny

hi its first come first serve at the moment but when people say they want stuff i never expect them to buy it most of the time. No i dont run a tdo4 i run a ihi vf38 similar size but twin scroll most early wrxs used a td04 there all ofer ebay all day £50-100.

like this i brought 1 a few weeks ago, i didnt get charged import tax and was here in just over a week!

shame its a t25/t28 flange, i didnt think to ask if they could change it so im gunna have to pay extra to get it changed here.

does the timing or ignition need changing?

you set the static ignition timing as you would on a normal swift i can remember exactly to what andy knows it all off by heart and everything else is stock

whats wrong with a t25 t28 flange a t25 is perfect for a bolt on set up and a t28 for big power or a gt28rs will give you more than you will ever need its a 400+bhp turbo
