Invasion of the grey market hot hatches is imminent.

These cars have been a runaway success in Europe/UK/USA and australian manufacturers still refuse to bring over the cream of the crop. They're about to get caught with their pants down.

oooohhh. nice one chef. keep me updated about compliance availability if you know anyone planning to add them. I am about to buy a new 'boring' car for daily duties and have lately been tossing up between a Golf R32 or a Golf GTI or a very neat V35 or V36 skyline coupe. BUT I do very much like the scirocco. what are we looking at price wise for a GT or an R FOB? what do you reckon will be best country for export? Need to find out where they sell RHD models in good numbers I guess.

There's a crew down in Vic that applied for them as new cars apparently, but it has now hit 18 months since they were sold new overseas, making them eligible as used cars.

You'd be looking ex-UK for the RHD factor, and in terms of price, I suspect low-km used ones would be a similar price to what the equivalent Golfs are new over here. We shall see.

They're actually holding value relatively well in the UK compared to the Golfs, I'm sure it'll change slightly in a year's time.

    • 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.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
