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!
