Hey everyone
I'm working on a project car on the same platform as A3. 1.8t (new beetle 2000 AWV 150hp) and I'm building a new engine, completely
with new turbo g25-550.
I have a couple of things I'm concerned about and I would like to know your opinion. My goal is 450hp and these parts are related to durability and capabilities...
-Do I need a bigger MAF sensor? Which one do I need?
-Do I need a different Throttle Body? Which one do I need?I have this intake manifold https://fmic.eu/en/engine/168099-intake-manifold-fmic-pro-audi-vw-18t.html
-Do I need a custom camshaft bearing cap or I can use the OEM one? Which one do I need?
-Stock 2.0 TFSI main bolts or ARP?
Do I really need ARP bolts/studs or I can go with Elring main bolts for TFSI 2.0 as @desertstorm mentioned in one of the posts?"IStock 2.0 TFSI main bolts , these are upgraded over the stock 1.8T items and a lot cheaper than ARP . Stock Elring head bolts and Elring head gasket set."
-Head Bolts? Do I need ARP studs, bolts or there is also some cheaper and reliable replacements?
-Do I need new OEM (MAHLE) valve guides or I can use the old-current one? If not OEM which one do I need?
-Do I need a new OEM rocket arm or I can use old-current one? If not OEM which one do I need?
-Do I need a new OEM (AJUSA) valve stem seal or I can use an old-current one? If not OEM which one do I need?
-Do I need new OEM (AJUSA) valve lifters or I can use the old-current one? If not OEM which one do I need? (I'm changing camshaft, taking a new one...)
-Do I need a new OEM (MAHLE) inlet valve or I can use the old-current one, but just to polish them? If not OEM which one do I need?
-Which brand are you recommending for the gasket...? How does this one look like? https://www.bar-tek-tuning.com/1-8t-race-zylinderkopfdichtung-bar-tek?number=2118t88.5
Also, my plan is to reduce the temperature in the engine bay if possible.
-Where I can find a reliable embossed aluminum heat shield?
-Where I can find a reliable turbo blanket?
-Where I can find a reliable heat shielding sleeve?
-Where I can find a reliable Exhaust Heat Wrap?
There is a lot of questions I and will really appreciate if you have time to help me with any of these.
Thank you so much,
