isn't it basically coming from next door?

yup an adapter between the oil pressure sender and case, the return is plumbed in to the top of the extra capacity sump....

Your user name indicates you have your own turbo beetle?  you should start a build thread

Engine is back in the hole...

But a man smarter than me has pointed out I have the wrong type of pressure regulator, which will explain the over fueling I have after a period on boost...  By happy co-incidence I found Weber Specialties stand and the speed show and had a chat to Murray who tells me they have a regulator designed specifically for blow through twin carb  

looks very similar to the cb kit that I use ( http://www.cbperformance.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=7301T )

though I am only carb'd (fuel injection one day though)

3rd time the king pins have been done within 12 months?  you must be on a first name basis with your alignment guy...

worn or missing teeth on part number 1? or it's mate on the crank?

my wof man was happy with second hand, as long as the buckle and receiver matched (and we discussed this exact thing)

have you had many people give you stick about the chev stuff on your holden?

it happens   still not worth the money to replace with a holden grill... besides it's not much different to the JDM craze http://www.autotrader.co.za/used-cars/type/bakkie/chevrolet/lumina

I Went out for takeaways the other night.  It was pretty busy the car park was almost completely full, but there was a satin wrapped, late model, AMG Mercedes parked across two spots, the dividing line was down the exact middle of his car...  So I parked as physically close as possible... Sadly my food was ready before he returned to his car...

I'm not going to make this now, please don't wait for me

Unfortunately there is a work thing I can't get out of despite resigning...

no heaters, no room for heater boxes and no outlets on my fan shroud... it's not my daily so I'm not too worried...

funny you should ask, I was thinking about it this morning as I turned on my demister on the drive to work...

cheers for the compliments...

I got it from Qualitat years ago... it's just a Wolfsburg West repro https://www.wolfsburgwest.com/wolfsburg_new/mirrors/beetle_mirror.cfm?type=1 though they're great quality better than a lot of repro bright work (my bumpers for example)

yeah, those have always been intended to be the 'track' wheels and they were ridiculously cheap...  I will figure out the narrowing of the trailing arms/axles once it's back on the road so I can have my old rims back on it...

totally stoked with the tinware should tidy the engine bay up a lot, especially if I spend a couple of ours on the wiring...

and the coloured in tinware still fits the engine

at least the new wheels fit (the dust caps on the front wheels do need trimming)

is that going to be wearing stock guards?

might miss my sleeper goal

With your millions of HP you may as well get some sweet wheels made in perfect width and offset.

imagine if I ended up with less dish on the rear than the front!!!

Yeah, that's not the best how to that I have seen

Interesting he has a jig. Haven't spoken to John for many years does he still muck around with VW's?

 

purchased the central Europe map

purchased?  the cost would probably more than offset the cost of the data via the cell network...

when I did a road trip through thailand last year, I took my phone and my tablet purchased a local data sim put that in the tablet and then set up a wifi network for my phone to peer to.  That way I had dirt cheap data and my NZ number remained functional for calls & texts

I'm not a fan of widened guards on vws' would prefer narrow rims before that

the BRM's I have should fit (I'll know for sure once I get some tires for them), and I'll use those until I sort out narrowed control arms somehow

some research I should have done ages ago...

rear track early swing axle 1288mm

rear track late swing axle  1300mm

rear track irs              1349mm

the new drums also add 2mm to the track, but bottom line is the rear track is 63mm greater than it used to be...

beetle rear control arm

I have heard rumors that clever men have been able to narrow these 25/29mm between the bearing carrier and the spring plate mount so that might be a possibility in the future..
