Official 1.8 turbo thread

[busterbrown]

Does anyone know how to REMOVE a 1.4L badge that I accidentally ordered thinking my engine was a 1.4 when it was a 1.8L. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

In the past, I've used a common household hairdryer to successfully remove badging. A heat gun may assist you too but I didn't want to risk damaging the clear coat.

Guys do you think we can run 8-9 psi safely on the stock 1.8? When I boost I was planning on about 6 psi but I want to know if I can go higher if I want to.

Ill let you know I'm starting at like 6 but boost is addictive and I may turn it up soon after the builds done

I'm also starting at 6 psi but like Scott said it's addictive lol

I know it's expensive but if you can do your rods and heads.

I want dish Pistons when time comes but that's going to be a ways down the road.

Well like I said the header will be here the 29th that's when the tear down and building starts

I'll have it done hopefully at the latest August

The intercooler would have been put in today but it was wet and cold unfortunately

Hey sneaker there was a thread about the 42Ib injectors on here some where I don't know if that helps
