I think the cambelt is rubbing against plate nr. 15

Well according to VWvortex, the ABA engine is happy to receive
some nice boostlevels of T3-turbo’s. 300bhp is quite standard…
Lowered compression via extra headgaskets or spacerplates are needed. But give no problems at all.

Hi TC,

A little update on your engine’s internal state….

The rockercover features a orange sticker. Just like
my engine (g60)

That sticker means : i’m an original (big buxx ) vw-overhauled
engine. So that explains your bore-hone-pattern

Well Mark,

Luckily a Replacement scroll is sended by L&S-Cartec as a sort
of warranty-thing, because of their mis-advertisement claiming it’s
not repaired, stifted, etc. Plus some G40?!? oilseals in it…

I’m waiting on the long top-cut-burrs (from you and chris) for some serious porting and scroll-refinishing to get your old charger up and running, plus the L&S unit also done within time. Pictures will follow soon. In the meantime enjoy the current superb unit from me This will get you safe thorough the winter (and some more winters !)
I wonder what it now does on a rolling-road in comparison to the old setup….

Greetings,

And another tip :

Ceramic tape on your downpipes, will seriously reduce the temps under the hood + protect the bodyshell/cutout(painjob) from burning/getting too hot. Plus the better heat-travel of the exhaust-fumes.

Btw : nice work on the cut-out ! This will give all the space needed
to unleash some extra ponies via the double downpipe….

I’m following all the work on your site and on the syncro-site…
Love it. Keep up the good work + pictures.

Byebye….

Hi Tc,

Me and chris will sort out the enginemanagement/software for you.
No probs. I think that fifth injector is a bit strange. On all other
2L cars, there aren’t any of those… Etka doesnt state them…
It reminds me of the older Ke-Jetronic stuff. It sounds silly to
me to have a fifth injector. A proper setted-up map (software)
will cope with the new engine-parameters. A lambda-sensor will
meter the quality of the mixture and within specific borders will
adapt it to optimum. No lambda = limp home mode = overfuelling =
cracked cyl.heads because of carbon-built-up. When turbocharging it, it will become worse… And a add-on A/F meter will also give some good direct info on the way your engine is behaving (over/underfuelling)

If you have any tech-questions, just mail me or chris. We’ll be there
to give some support.

Greetings,

Pascal
