UK outlets for IE Tuning parts.

[Charlie Farley]

As in the title really guys,
How many outlets are there in the UK for IE Tuning parts, I was under the impression they will only sell via an outlet in a given country and wont ship directly.

any info would be great.

The uk dealers in their website are badger5 and jbs and another 12 in Europe, the us website won’t sell to uk,Germany and China but will anywhere else I never understood why they won’t sell to uk customers not as if all the products are available here, If they were then there wouldn’t be a need to ship over here

Had brief chat with Badger 5 , he seems like a nice chap from my initial contact.
He doesn't keep very much in stock for the tfsi's so would need to be ordered in , not a massive problem but I was hoping for as much kit off the shelf if possible otherwise it stretch's out the rebuild time frame, not that i'm in rush just don't want to wait for weeks really.

He is a top bloke knows his stuff and always willing to give advice,
I had that issue with the 3.2 stuff either had to come from the us or Germany, Might be quicker if one of the European suppliers have it in stock I got some of my bits delivered from Germany in 2 days

what have you got planned,

I need a fair few bits , drop in pistons/rods etc bolts /bearing , the uprated parts to increase my 270bhp tfsi to 450ish in a ground up engine rebuild.

I’m doing same with my s3 it’s going from a 1.8t to a tt 3.2 gt35 build, been collecting parts for a year now finally got the tear down done

what’s the max power for the standard rods in the tfsi? I’ll follow your thread I like to see a project come together, will you be doing the work yourself?

Yes, fully intend on doing all the work , well as much as I can , I need to sort out a decent mapper aswell that can do quattro's , so many around but not all will do quattro's.
Still getting my head around what i'm about to embark on ..lol , but I like a challenge .
I think its about 300 on the stock rod in the BUL engine.

What turbo are you going for? Are you keeping the stock ecu? Have you looked into the ignition ecu,

just go for it I was in the fence for ages weather to get some one to do it or try myself (not a mechanic), but thought sod it there’s plenty of info out there so you shouldn’t really struggle plus I think that 1st turn of the key will be satisfying knowing you did it yourself

K04 hybrid , I purchased a donor BUL engine and ecu so that's my plan , rebuild the donor lump and have its ecu remapped , that way I don't messup my perfectly good BUL engine and ecu etc, a bit of an insurance policy in case it all goes tits up..lol
