Looking for some feedback on engine condition.
Turbo failure on my forged 1.8t due to some foreign body sucked in. Bottom end was rebuilt with forged pistons and ZRP rods 20k ago (head not so and had done 60k)
On further turbo inspection there was excessive bearing wear so tearing down and...
Also wondering whether the bores are okay, as previous cross hatching nearly gone and vertical lines appeared in bores. They feel smooth, with no lip at the top, despite there being a dark line from the top of the cylinder wall to where the first ring likely sits.

Wonder if anyone is able to offer advice on the Mark's, inlet valve side on the pistons in the picture. Forged wossner have done approx 10k on a K04 Hybrid that let go during the week, pushing oil through the engine.
Want to be sure this is normal wear before reassembling.
Inspection of the...
Looking for some help for an intermittent misfire that seems to have got worse over last few days, post a recent remap.
Replaced colipacks which temporarily halted it but has returned again.
Just removed plugs and they're a good colour, but looking into cylinders cold, having been stood for a...
Got HKP back on the Dyno post some basic mods over the Winter, including replacing the cheap Chinese High Flow fuel pump with a proper Deatschwerks D65 (Buy cheap, buy twice) and the relocating of the air intake back down to where the Secondary air intake pump used to be.
Big thanks to Ben at...
Well, a late night drive led to a complete coil pack failure on Cylinder 1 and error messages for multi misfire and low bank sensor readings.
Swapped out an old spare at the side of the road but still playing up, so have ordered a compete set of 2.0TFSI red coil packs and adaptor plates.
A bit...
Been in for first session of the year (3rd since build) and looking for any pointers on a misfire that comes and goes under acceleration, but does not show up on the Dyno.
Some good results today with big improvements in the mid range, however and all great on the rollers, but under heavy load...
Just finished ground up rebuild of our forged 1.8t Hong Kong Phooey, moving from original B7 fwd chassis to a B6 Quattro, but kept/transferred the front end as prefer the later lights and grill.
Still a work in progress.

Hi Prawn.
Just watched your 1st video post of your S3 track car. BAFTAs await a plenty.....Understood that you ran a K-04-64 Hybrid for a while and wondered if you could point me in the direction of some help getting mine to run properly.
Thread of the build is on here...
And a few days out of the paint shop........
Front headlights changed to clear indicator versions.
The B6 loom is different so be warned. While I was able to rewire the main headlamps courtesy of some help for various Audi sport net forums, I have not been able to get the adjustable motors to...
Bodywise it was about getting as many of our original B7 parts onto the B6 chassis as possible. Particularly the front as I am not a fan of the smaller B6 grill and lights. So I set about removing and changing the bonnet, two front wings, front bumper and boot, plus all the associated crash...
Brakes next on the list as with target as figured stopping is important.
The original 312mm are okay, but the Cabriolet is heavy and with the additional power I wanted to get a bigger surface area to keep things proportional.
So after a bit of research ended up going down the B6 S4 route, which...
In between the first set up / Dyno run there was plenty more to get sorted and Transferring the Bilstein B12 set up from our original Audi was supposed to be a simple job!
But removing the top Aluminium pinch bolts from the top of the legs was fricking impossible and attempts to drill one side...
As you might expect, the Initial Dyno run threw up lots of issues.
The trouble with attempting a major build without a garage is dealing with the unpredictable sh*tty British weather which in turn can mean rushing things to beat the rain.
Consequently there were a few nuts, bolts and clips that...
Fueling has been and seems to remain an issue.
Originally installed a Chinese Hi Pressure fuel pump sourced on Flea Bay, modifying the existing cage by cutting away some of the black plastic around the top and fitting some home grown brackets around the larger diameter pump.
Worked for a while...
