        You think your Green ones are "bright" - My Samcos are a very bright YELLOW They were the only ones I could get at the time.

            Owk - you'd never notice the pea green Samco's - what a giveaway - heheheh.

            Nice upgrade by the sounds o things. Have you worked out the trick to maintain accuracy on the trip computer despite running larger fuel injectors ?

              Paul,

              Short answer is NO!

              IS there a trick to it - DO tell!!

              I asked about the accuracy of the old on-board computer (such as it is) but this wasn't high on the priority list.

              Derek.

              p.s. I LIKE my green hoses! Main thing is you cant see them util you lift the bonnet THEN you see them!!!!

                  Marco 3" DP and custom exhaust
                  K26/27 Hybrid
                  Big injectors
                  Hybrid Headgasket
                  Bosch Motorsport Fuel Pump
                  Custom Remap
                  Running 25psi peak

                  It did 0.1 seconds slower test time (3600 to 6200 in 3rd) than a 460 bhp RS4. We think it is about 420bhp (it beat my test time - although i had a heavier car and warmer ambient temp)

                  It is safe for stock rods - We would not do this on a car with stock brakes!

                  PM me if anyone wants the costs for this upgrade
                  Mihnea, can you tell us more about this Hybrid Headgasket ?
