How do you get 300+KW down on a FWD car?

No. Had fuel pump installed and my wastegate ported with flapper mod at 25k. Been driving it around for 50K on a stock tune and had no problems what so ever

Dont stress too much about driving it around untuned after your mods. I put in a 100CPI Ballistic, new cooler and 4" intake and drove it constantly for 3 weeks without a problem before I could make it to the tuner. JUST DONT HIT BOOST, which is easier said than done, but if you have a boost gauge and some self control it is possible. Too many people treat the motor as if its made from egg shells and are scared to drive the car anywhere. Just be careful with it and youll be able to drive it around without a problem, just dont flog it as that's when youll get problems

Ohh Rhealy!? Thanks for the update Mal! lol just kidding, hope its going well for you mate and look forward to seeing how your beast runs

Short of trying to get a torque rench in there, a firm nip up should be fine. Make sure you have sanded the copper washers with some fine wet-n-dry on a FLAT SURFACE (Glass is the best for this). I also found doing this to the 2 aluminum washers on the filter help it to seal as mine leaked on both ends of the filter, even though I thought I tightened it up properly.

Flushing a trani is as easy as this: Remove exit hose from train at trani cooler I.e. the tempreature transfer cooler mounter on the side of the block. If unsure which line is which, remove both and place a clear hose on each then place the clear hoses in a bucket with measurement marks on the bucket. Run the engine until bubbles show up in the clear hose, then turn off and add same amount of fluid measured in bucket into the trani. Then run again. Keep doing this process until you are happy with the colour of the fluid. Then put hoses back on trani cooler. Im not saying for anyone to do this, but it is basically what a trani flush is all about, alot less complicated and mysterious that what we are led to believe

Thanks Guys! Sounds all too easy

Im looking to fit a 12pnd actuator before babying the car to the tuners for a tune, but want to know if there is a trick to setting the actuator arm up, as it has an adjustable rod. Is it a matter of matching the length with the old actuator and arm I take out for correct throw length, or can you only get a correct setup of this arm when its installed so you can feel the resistance on the diaphram?

Have you guys checked out this writeup on a Bypass kit/cooler for the ZF trani? Sounds like it could be what your after. There is also one for sale in the classifieds
