Guest, New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store ? Order now from the merchandise store
External wastegate setup is bolt-off bolt-on job
sounds good, just bolt one one.
Quick update guys,
Well the block is getting re-honed, new piston rings, new guides etc etc.. the guy who done it before was totally incompetant, put in the right parts but not the right way!
I have THS rods so going for Pauter now and the girdle to keep things secure down there!
I have managed to get a n/a cam from a 97 a4 1.8 20v (£45!) so will be good to see the difference... if any!
Also ordered a sigma short shifter and N2MB WOT box with 2 step... I cant afford racelogic.
And for turbo im getting owens gt3076r but with 0.63a/r, my 3071r was not in good shape anyway, the blades suffered bad contamination.. stupid HKS filter, and there was not side to side play but back to front - if you are holding both wheels with your hand... so got a quote and it was £650 + vat!! I'd rather scrap it!
Hoping everything will be here and running in 2 weeks, back to mapping, then to a DD dyno to see the gains and hope they were worth it!

Cheers guys I feel like I deserve it too!
But I must say the only reason i;ve got this far with my car is because of you SCN forum members and all the replies and opinions you have all given me...
Very much appreciated
Yeah pretty simple, just 2 wire to join into the ignition leads, 1 wire to connect to a injector, 1 for the TPS and 1 for a clutch switch. You will have cruise control so its easy I had to make a clutch switch which took a bit of time.
You could easily do it in a couple of hours.
hmmm.. I just ordered the 76r with 0.82 backhousing!
Is that a bad idea considering my rev limit will be 7300?
I went for it because owens say that for some reason with the 1.8t's it doesnt lose much low down if you go for 0.82 over the 0.63.. i hope thats the case!
I still have today to change my mind so please tell me anyone if you think I should get the 0.63 housing instead..
Thanks!

this is what they told me and as per my email to you I dont find that there is much more lag than my old turbo.
You know what its like you soon get used to the extra power and if I had gone for the .63 housing I would have wished I had gone for the .82.
Why 7300 rpm limit ?

I know I Im glad I didnt install it in my eyes view and put it down near my gear stick.
How do you find the WOT Box ?
I know that feeling all too well!!
I am going for 7300 as I have supertech valves but standard springs and retainers, and I can only see 6k on my dash with standard clocks, so I thought if its at 7300 I am safe and can go to 7300 without worrying...
Think its too low?
It was at 8200 before so I could never drive properly i was too scared!!
