Hey guys as you can tell from my post count I'm new. I have been lurking in the shadows for a while trying to research issues I have been having with my car.
Now firstly my car is a 2000 a3 quattro with a bam engine fitted k04 turbo, 3in exhaust, 550cc injectors, fmic, forge piping and mapped. I have a dyno print out of what the car was producing and it clocked 326bhp and 277lbs ft. But I'm not here to dispute numbers as from what I have read my print out could be quite generous.
Anyway back to the point of my post. The car has a 5 speed manual with supposed updated clutch but recently I'm sure it's starting to slip when hitting boost but only in 3rd and 4th. What are my options for putting a new clutch in? I am going to ditch the DMF. can anyone recommend anything given the supposed power out of the car?
Now here is where it gets a bit tricky. I don' have access to vagcom or vcds at the moment but if I keep the car it will be something I will invest in. I am fairly new to audi turbos. Have always been a honda man and still am. This is mearly a daily driver for me.
Now when I bought the car there was no diverter valve fitted to it. He also said that he got something added to the map too make it pop and bang a lot when you lift off above 3000 rpm. Now i personally think now he's talking garbage.
When trying to hold the car above 3000rpm it constantly lurches kind of like tapping the accelerator pedal fast in first making the car undrivable. Its fine when you accelaerate through or lift of completely. Is what he said true or after noticing he removed some parts from the engine from the original advert namely ramair filter red coil packs could it be that he has removed the bigger injectors and fitted the stock 1s back in? Is there anyway too check what injectors are fitted?
Sorry for the long winded first post I hope it makes sense. Advice and pointers welcome.
I will try and get some pics of the engine bay so you can have a look. I have since fitted a dv to the car because the guy never had 1 fitted I asked why and he said he had nothing but issues with it fitted.
Cheers
Jamie
