Ohhh.....maybe as it coming upto Christmas..,.we might be allowed an oil thread  ::) ;D

Not that im actually bothered....when I take the Octavia in for a service, which I did last week, they just chuck in oil....after draining the old crap out.....not even sure what oil they put in it  ::)
But it isn't burning any.....don't have to top it up inbetween 10k intervals  :y
Not bad for 185k  :)

Did need two new tyres tho.....showing the threads on inside edges.....never spotted that  :-[

All joking aside, they will cause some turbulence and will be detrimental to performance.

Was it our American friend on here who did a How To on TB polishing and porting?  :-\


how did you decide on that  ::)


please let us know..

Because, Cem, the throttle butterfly is a part designed and machined to allow a smooth flow of air with as little restriction/resistance as possible.  Turbulence at this stage of Induction can only be a bad thing.  Not to mention that the bolt heads are chuffin massive, so will restrict air-flow.

As always, I have my asbestos suit on and await the flames.  ::)

If it wasn't for the fact there is a chuffing great big plenum chamber after the throttle butterfly I might agree with you.
