Ok people, it's around that time again! I've been chatting with a few of you, and there's plenty of interest, so let's work something out...

I'll get this frst post updated to reflect confirmed details, but in the meantime, here's the rough plan:

Early morning - meet at the Gold Coast Coomera BP or Mudgeeraba Shell (someone from Brisbane can work out earlier northern meet points to coincide). We drive south to Byron bay/Murwillumbah (the old raods were a great drive, but I will need to do a recce run to confirm their condition), with a short stop for refreshments and fuel (Byron BP would be a logical choice).

From there, we take some nice back roads North to the Gold Coast (using parts of the route from my first meet: great roads!), and terminate at Southport for a Bbq/chitchat/drinks at GreenGhost's place (thanks Myles!) which has plenty of parking (it's in an industrial estate) in the early afternoon.

Dates will need to be negotiated, and the route/destinations can be altered as required: I know it's a hike for the Brissie folk...

I'm thinking early August, but what do you guys think? It would be really good to have Darrinspencer's car at this one, so I'd like to make it coincide with the completion of his project...

Our last few meets have been pretty good, but have come apart a little at the endpoint: I figure if we have a private property to go to, we're not going to be fighting for bbqs and car spots like we have on the other meets, and since we went North last time, it'll make a nice change... This way, for a small cost per person, we can have food and refreshments ready to go...

Date: locked in by Micah as Sunday the 20th of September, 2009

Time:

  • 8.00am for an 8.20am departure.

Meeting point:

  • Coomera BP service station

Route:

Nothing like some pressure!!

Will be ready by the end of August for the VW Jamboree, so maybe early September for a meet??

I would definately be interested, if its hapnin mid september I can make it. Won't be back in the country till then. I got friends down in mullum and my GF's beetle is being worked on down there so could coincide with it being ready to be picked up.

Would love to make it along anyways-

:-)

Ok: 20/09/09 it is! Mods: please get my post title to reflect this.

I'll need confirmations to include the number of passengers/kids coming with attendees, so we can organise the Bbq and drinks.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
