Hi Miggz, awesome thread. I am pretty much the same, a complete D.I.Y person. Did the Single mass flywheel make a major difference in the transfer of power characterstic of the car?
Oh cool, i am looking for that more direct feel, after reading in various forums people had just merely spoken abt the vr6 flywheel system, never really had any feedback from someone that had swopped out the DMF for a SMF. When are you crossing over to the ko4 World? I had my Ko3s max out at 176 wkw and 352Nm(FMIC/DP/MBC/CAI), here at the coast. Before coming across a written of s3 where i borrow a few parts from
unlucky mate, guess it sort of runined the event for you. nevermind.
once these little annoying bit are sorted you be back full boosting in no time!
Really hope you manage to come right dude! my favourite 8l needs to be tip top again soon.
Ps. Im glad that the map sensor helped!
Bad luck bud... Doesn't sound too major just a lot of effort changing all the vac pipes out and inspecting the boost pipes... Hope you get it sorted soon bud! Also hope the sump compression isn't anything major either...
All the best in getting it all 100% again!
Wow dude that's awesome news man! And the sump compression? That sorted too?
result!!!!
you getting it rebuild to k04 hybrid or just standard k04??
some nice cracks in that turbine housing...
Thats epic man, can't believe it came so quick from the UK but failed so hard is SA...
So jealous right now dude...
:O oh no :O now i really have no chance of catching you
Awesome news boy
got to love the postal service of south africa!
my k04 gets picked up monday morning from liverpool, lands in SA on tuesday at 13.20, and takes 8 days to travel 80km!
You do know why it takes so long hey!
Each worker at the post office needs to inspect each parcel, to see if there is anything he needs or can sell. They also work at the airport as a second job "inspecting" baggage
just the one that goes from turbine, to wastegate, and can be seen right round into the wastegate aperture.some nice cracks in that turbine housing...

That turbo saw 150k miles, at no more than 1bar boost.
No original housing is 100% crack free.
It was sold as in need of bearings, so price reflected that, then i found the crack, and it was made clear with miggz before any money was handed over, at an even more reduced price.
