    Yeh - heads different, turbo and manifold but you can still use any 1.8T lump and then just build on it. A used K04 and manifold are pretty easy to come by if your happy with about 270 bhp. The Audi heads arent to clever but they can also be worked...

    Eh ? never used gas - were did that come from ?? VF34 will make 400 bhp easy - ive built, rebuilt ( 4 times ) and raced one of these lumps for 3 years - just because a couple of vw nobs say its not achievable doesnt mean its word The VF34 is used on the Subaru STi and scooby owners are...

    Must admit i did have a faulty boost pressure valve at the time of that rr tune - might have been a tad over ;) 400 bhp is easily achievable using 1.5 bar though with a VF34 - 1.8 is a tad to much in my opinion for that turbo

    A lot of these VW lads dont really race there cars and just like to drive round saying there car is 400 bhp and wax the nuts off it 5 times a week ( my opinion of the vw scene ;) ) When your giving these cars hard strip use the turbo wont last 2 minutes at 1.8 bar from my experience - i...

    1.5 BAR max on a VF34 - i ran 1.3 for reliability and still rr'd @ over 400 bhp and that was with slippage as we couldnt get decent traction - i estimate 430 - 440 bhp with traction

    yeh it will see 300 hp on stock internals but it wont last long - if its just a show car yeh you will be safe....hard strip use and it will last 2 month VF34 can be done for less than £2k - buy the manifold from jabba sport or have one custom built. You can pick up a NEW VF34 from ebay USA...

    6 speed fits - 5 speed easier - driveshafts are a doddle. Drop it in a run a DTA set up ( loom and ecu ) - scrap the K04 for an IHI VF34 and custom manifold + bigger injectors. Personally i would go for steel rods and forged pistons as this will give you greater potential for future tuning...

    dci power loss!need help!!!

    Sounds to me like youve fucked your injectors - be careful on these K9K engines as they are extremely unreliable. A common fault is debris in the fuel pipes or the Bosch injection pump breaks up from the inside sending fragments of metal through the system which in return block your injectors. I...

    172 water pump

    Always change the water pump on a cambelt change The pulley on the pump has a tendancy to shear off on high mileage engines thus sending the aux belt into the path of the cambelt - engine death is certain
