Re: Anyone got a link to buy Vag-Com

I used a cheap eBay cable and never had a problem with it. Make sure you have all the port settings set up in 'hardware' on yr pc.

Re: Can anyone name this hose!!!

Think you'll need a 25mm breather filter plus you'll need to remove that black metal pipe on the left side of the engine that goes into the turbo intake. You'll also have to block the hole in the turbo intake with something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/25mm-Aluminium-bung-plug-Turbo-Coolant-Dump-...

Re: Can anyone name this hose!!!

Not sure what its called but it is a breather hose, it recirculates hot oily gas from the crank back through the intake. I got rid of mine and fitted a breather filter, stops any of that hot crappy air going back through the turbo! :smile:

Re: wat injectors to use with a k04-15 turbo

Another thing what filter you got on there? I would advise making a custom induction kit because the kn panel filters are more restrictive than people think. I saw a massive improvement when fitting my home made induction kit. Check it out here (right at the top) http://www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/vie...
