Are you still running the stock bosch plastic re-circ valve? If you are I would suggest the Forge split-R valve that way you can choose either having dump to atmosphere and re-circ or just full re-circ, the good thing about this valve its a perfect match to the vag 1.8t system and the preload on the...

Spoke to my mate who does my re-mapping and setting up apparently the bare block is the same on the transverse 20v engine as the inline apart from the sump, oil pump and the addition of the water pump being cambelt driven, so ive found an AGU engine which has the big port head and fordged bottom end...

Not sure how much its got since the K04 conversion but prior to that it had 192hp @the fly with a stage one remap, decat and custom exhaust, which I didnt think was too bad with 158,000 on the clock on a 9 year old car, I'm hoping it will be somewhere around 210-215hp, it feels very lively compared ...

Hi guys I after some advice my poor old APU lump has now covered 179,000 miles and I'm not sure how much longer the bottom end is going to last, Ive done a K04 conversion, THS big port manifold, FMIC, Its been remapped etc, now at the moment alls fine, but its only a matter of time till it gives out...

Hi guys, Im just finishing off fitting a K04 turbo, Tubular manifold and FMIC kit as the standard K03 started smoking. I was wondering how much bhp can you put out of the 1.8t running standard injectors, if i change the file in the ecu will this be enough or will fitting S3 injectors be a good idea ...

Hi guys anyone out there got the part number for the u.s/jap spec smooth front bumper moulding for the B5, the one that is one piece and does away with the front plate? Or better than that has anyone got one or know where i can get one other than VW? Thanks ;)

Hi guys thanks for your feedback, I have fitted a new n75 valve as this is what my mate who did the re-map suggested, and a Forge diverter valve. The re-map file is an Oscali or Oscari file I think, we tried a revo file aswell but it did not perform aswell as the Oscali file, The guy at Oscali used ...

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone out there in dubland has had this issue before, I had my 20v turbo re-mapped to approx 200bhp? Now the problem I have is that every now and then when under light to mid load conditions the car makes a very slight hestiation and the boost reverts back to around 7psi,...
