Southbend does a clutch and single mass flywheel conversion for transverse engines, they are called "Silent" range ! The flywheel is dynamically balanced so it has minimal harmonic vibrations and it's designed to cancel the pulses from the injectors firing. I have driven a few cars with Va...

VR6 flywheel won't fit passat as it's designed for transverse engines. Some Valeo SMF kits use a 1.8T/VR6 clutch/pressure plate which is not man enough for the job, however the flywheel is different ! I had a 240mm rs4 clutch and TTV single mass flywheel on a AWX audi a4 and the gearbox gave up the ...

I would not really get a passat as such, handling sucks ! I would look at the audi a6 c5 if i were you, 4 wheel drive with torsen diffs, better chassis, throw a pair of ko4 turbo's or rs6 hybrids and a decent tune and you'll break 500 Bhp ! No 1.8T will match that ! 2.7TT : Loba rs6 hybrids, 3.0 cr...

DO it lol i cant wait to c the allroad is beast lol i want pics of the new turbo The turbo looks stock it's just machined internally to take larger turbine and compressor wheel. The turbine is from a mercedes GTB2256VL as fitted to the 3.0CDI and the compressor wheel is of a Garett GTB2260Vk off th...

Of course you can just erase the DPF from the map so no worries there, however the charge will be the same like a normal power remap so it would be daft not to get it as you pay for it anyway ! I could get you a remap file and most decent garages can cut, gut and shut the DPF if they have decent wel...

Kit is bonded to the bumpers and sideskirts are bonded to the car, not easy to remove although i am thinking to keep the front bumper for the black avant to compliment the rear Votex spoiler i have for it ! Thing is the allroad is ready to collect from the bodyshop and that has massive presence on t...

It will need a remap as well as a DPF delete...

Empty/gutted cat ? What year is the a4 ?

Not really sold on it Sean, i have uploaded a map on it today and it's better, pulls very well but still needs TLC and money spent on it ! Thing is that it looks the part from a distance...and the Votex kit is so easy to live with- does not scrape on speed bumps or anything ! The suspension is a lit...

Took both heads off as when i first got it there did not seem to be any valves bent which is a bit unusual but after i thrown a new belt on and timing the engine it wasn't running as smooth as it should. Took the heads off and replaced them with a pair of refurbished heads with new valves lapped in ...

Alive and kicking !

Same power output but suspension was offered 15mm lower as a factory option ! Bar the sports steering wheel and the interior trim/seats there's no difference ! Don't tell the insurance company that the car is a sport, if there is not mention on logbook then i would keep it quiet !

It's termal stress/ expansion of the metal due to quick bursts of acceleration as when you step on it and the EGT increases over the safe threshold but it's not happening for long time, think of a drag or trafic light race... Fortunately the piston has a steel band cast in to stop extreme expansion ...

Is that a crack on the piston ? I would check the map and keep the EGT in check if i were you, that's stress related and you will find it's craked all the way to the gudgeon pin. It's repeated hot/cold cycles that do that to pistons although it does not need to be under load in order to crack like t...

It will go in diagonally !

Nope, the voltage regulator is damaged, don't drive it as it will boil the battery and might explode due to flamable gases build up !

Sean, the v6 tdi has some advantages but it's drawbacks are lack of aftermarket parts to play with- every part needs to be custom made ! The vp44 injector pump is barelly tamed and in uk not many modify it at all. In the states they run monster vp44 pumps which can fuel over 1000 Bhp on 6L cummins e...

I don't want to sound cocky and i mean no offence but i don't know any good mapper in uk ! To be frank if you want to keep tuning tdi then you're started with the wrong engine ! Whilst built stout the pd lump suffers from oil starvation and has it's limitation in such it won't rev high enough withou...

marketing bull ^^^ dont think so read march issue"audidriver" about vortex system for audi 100 on E PLATE make nice reading paul Vortex system is a sound idea but not at gas velocity normal combustion engines can muster, think aircraft turbines and the like ! If you want to read a symilar...

Go with the Sachs, just like Aron kindly stressed above ! It feels better- bites lower- and it will last a lot longer if you planning to upgrade/remap in the future. LUK are not bad but much lesser quality compared to the Sachs !

No Karl, i was on about 400Nm, as you gain Bhp is safe to decrease the torque on high revs, 400nm at 1200rpm's is different to 400Nm at 5500 rpm's ! That torque low down will break your gearbox, munch the driveshafts and trow the diff trough the gearbox casing + you will need a clutch man enough to ...

marketing bull ^^^

I would say stop messing about with compound turbo's and just fit a GTB1756vk or GTB2056vl if you want minimal lag, both turbo's will do easily 250Bhp. If you don't mind a little lag under 2000rpm's then the gtb2260vk will do 270-300 Bhp with ease ! The stock bottom end will take a pounding and i wi...
