you can see vag's progression and emissions evolution... early 1.8t's were bereft of a lot of the vacuum/solenoid nonsense.. none of the later models vac pipework is related to engine performance, and given the shyte quality of a number of their pipes, its problem city at some point.

all the removed pipework in tufftys picture, is replaced by 2 pipes. simples.. as it needs to be.

KISS principle applies.. Keep It Simple Stupid - shame VAG dont know what this means!

Hi buddy. I did see you at Bills one day (guy with teh red TT).

Sam who runs a GT30 had his valves melt, thourght you might like to know as you running stock ones. He was running supertech valves but with standard retainers and has just rebuilt with the whole kit.

Hi mate, he run it a tad lean then? with std valves or supertech its not gonna make that much difference I guess... valves are on the cards though and will be done in due course...

<tuffty/>

 

[Bikerz]

hopefully he will get it mapped more appropriately next time
lean + det = dead any valve

unlucky for him

yea this is true lol.

Luckily for my wallet the only insurance company that provided me with an affordable quote won't cover modifications

hi Bill,he didn't melt any valves.retainers cracked and dislodged themselves.iirc there was some sort of issue with a batch of supertech valves at that time?Sams now running full supertech valve train,there was certainly no lean issues.

DROPPED VALVE not melted valve Company (A) fitted , supplied by company (B) and made by Supetech , Company(A) Fitted with standard springs and retainers. At no point was I told there was a problem with this. these were single groove type and the collet / retainer angle did not match so retainer damage happened JABBA sorted out a deal with Supertech and now have full supertech setup Bill you know the story Now car is back A1 JABBA sport ROCK 2L 460Hp @ 1.6 bar

i have absolutely zero interest in speaking to them,much better things to do,just passing on what i was told.so i must of been told a crock of **** then!quote from Sam not me "these were single groove type and the collet / retainer angle did not match so retainer damage happened"

 

[ibizacupra]

not faulty supertech parts, but a mismatch of parts for sure.

Small update...

I have a couple of weeks off coming up as I have been busy work wise so hopefully I will have most of the next round of tweaks and stuff done then... As a taster, here are a few bits I have got ready...

I have finally mounted the Liquid gauge in the drivers vent..

...all thats left to do is wire in a bit of CAT 5 network cable to a switch to enable me to switch the K-Line on the diag socket so that I can switch between using VAGCOM through the socket or the Liquid gauge. As yo can see the vent mount isn't the best fit but does look better than that in the flesh. I may at some point spend a bit of time with it and make if fit better..

With the Liquid fitted in the vent I had to move the boost gauge. Inspired by s3_kev's boost gauge antics (http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?55649-A-pillar-gauges-finished) I got myself a Stack 2bar gauge and had a go...

Only using a single pod as I only wanted the boost gauge there so got a pillar pod from ebay...

Needed some trimming so sorted that out and sprayed it matt black... I have some black speaker grille cloth which is close to the interior of my car so I will attempt to retrim the pod in that...

I didn't paint the back of my gauge like Kev did but sourced some of the red film used in disco lights...

...I threw it all in the car to make sure it was working ok and took a (crappy) pic of it all lit up

...looking good so that will get finished off when I am off..

Another thing I am doing is changing the DV from a 007P to a Forge Super Size...

A bit of de-blinging later....

Plan is to create a 'cold side' style tap out of the hose going to the throttle body and the DV will sit under the TIP... I will sort out the build pics of that when I do it for a later post.

Last thing to look at will be the exhaust. I am not happy at how much drone my current setup as... its a shame as it sounds fantastic under boost when I go for it but as I drive much more sensibly than that on public roads I am going to have to tone it down a bit... to do that I am getting a chambered box from magna flow which should make it a lot quieter and not hurt the flow that much. The layout will look a bit like this 30 second photoshop hack...

...and I plan to get hold of a twin 3" slash cut tailpipe...

One last thing, I should also be geting my final map which will include a fix for the EGT issue and an increase in boost to 1.8bar... then off to the dyno ;P
