That's kind of cheap for a genuine garrett, and the frame doesn't look like the quality of garrett either. The edges are rough and the texture doesn't look as smooth as a genuine garrett. And they usually have the word garrett embossed on the front frame too not just on the stamp section.

Can just the hinge part be taken off and replaced? one side of my hinge is broken on my B5.

Thankyou. :)

Thankyou for the reply, I'm hoping it's just one of the unused turbo bracket bolts. It was done a few months back and I've had the tray off a few times so he may have lightly put it back in and not tightened it. What about the bottom of the gearbox are you familiar with them? It looks like...

Hi there, I'm wondering if something is missing from the bottom of my gearbox. It's an A4 B5 1.8t 5 speed manual quattro. I've never noticed the shiny part in the picture below. Also when I removed my undertray this hex socket bolt was sitting on it, does anyone know where it could be from...

Hi there, I have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to install and it has a separate pressure gauge and I'm wondering where I put it. Do I install it on the return line from the rail. Help appreciated. Thankyou. Car is an audi A4 B5 1.8t

Finished painting two wheels today, will finish the other two tomorrow. I'm going to paint the callipers black later.

I've been keeping busy by sanding and polishing the outer lip on the standard rims and the top of the intake manifold. I plan on painting the centre and back of the wheels satin black next week. Also replaced the old yellow/brown radiator reservoir with a fresh new one.

This is all I can see. You can just see the guide rubber on the drivers side but I can't see where it goes on the passenger side. What are these clips that come with the guide rubbers?

It says item doesn't post to Australia. I try to only buy plug and play gear because I can't work on the car as much as I could of years ago because my back is stuffed. I had to pay a mechanic to put the turbo kit and water pump timing belt kit etc because I can't physically do it anymore...

Okay, I do plan to get an ecu and harness adaptor in the future to have custom tuned but just want it to have some extra punch until then. Most of what I've read about custom tunes is that I won't even need the upgraded N75j valve because the tuned ecu will overcome the issues. I think I will...

Okay thankyou, everything I've read up about boost tee's on these recommends not doing it. Here a a few pics I found a while back but most comments after it said don't do it in any configuration because it's just asking for something to go wrong without safety cuts etc.

Okay thankyou, I didn't think it had a MAP. The only FMIC I've found that's worth the money is one on ebay made here in Australia. It must be a multi fit kind of thing. The postage to Australia for anything else is ridiculous and usually more than the intercooler itself. Here's a link to it...

What about the MAP sensor? Does it even have one? All the intercoolers I look to buy have a fitting for a MAP. I figured it must not have one and will have to have the fitting capped off.

Thankyou for the swift reply, from what I understand it's risky not using the N75 valve right? So if I do install the N75j will it hit a cut? I have a 3-5bar adjustable FPR to install if it needs higher pressure too. I brought a quality boost tee for it but never used it because I was led to...
