9/10 things i search relating to 1.8t and this thread comes up first on google ! this has definitely been a massive resource for many people :icon thumright:

Thanks Tuffty, Yea i have the OEM gaskets just saw the recess and that the washer was a perfect fit and though, you know what, i had better check as my luck is that i would fluff it ! Thanks dude

Hi Guys, I am just fitting up the lines however i don't seem to have enough Crush washers. Doh! Whilst i wait for those to arrive though, i noticed when looking that the oil return pipe has a small recess each end, into which one of these copper crush washers seems to perfectly fit. My...

Yes I saw no egt, this turbo is a bit of an unknown as above so really just a starting point. If it’s good I will seek opinions on fitting egt elsewhere or wait until I change turbo later in one direction or another as yet unknown! I think the best option sounds like the Bosch with adaptors, I...

[emoji15] thanks Bill this is why I love these forums!! At the moment I am going to use the stock AGU injectors for startup whilst I check everything works! What would you recommend injector wise going forward? Is it worth oversizing for future use or does it not work that way with injectors...

Agreed we will see how it does and when required I think there is someone on the forums who can help replace the pump with a decent aftermarket high flow pump within the golf FDU. Thanks for the advice matey Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks buddy, I am using a mk3 golf FDU so it’s either a 3 bar or 4 bar pump, need to check I it this weekend as only just picked it up... but will keep to the 3 bar regulator. As I haven’t ordered any injectors I’m open to input, not selected a tuner yet either as I’m still building. Have...

Wise words tuffty really appreciate the input. Yes I am sadly well aware of the pitfalls of these manifolds, I purchased it new second hand about 5 years ago (this project has been on hold since 2012 [emoji23]) Once the cars all done (Mk2 Golf) I will look at building another engine up with...

Yes I would like to utilise ext temp in the future but for now I am content without it. As I am running an emerald k3 I will not need one for now. The engine is a stock AGU so just looking to get it running, it will be mated to this turbo (b5 thread insert arriving today as I was missing one)...

Thanks for the reply Tuffty, it is admittedly very clean but from what I remember I brought it as a stock k04 but this was 3/4 years ago and I cannot for the life of me remember where I purchased it! The inner blades do have ribs/lines along them all striped in appearance. Does anyone...

hi guys Wondering if someone can help. I have two k04s and it’s come time to fit one the my 1.8t The k04-023 has a cracked exhaust housing so I was going to use the k04-020 instead (think it’s the same but from a TT) However the 020 compressor wheel looks different, rather than having 4+4...
