Regrettably I'm selling the car now. More in the ad in the for sale section:

Just out of curiosity Karl, how did you hook up the pump? Is the electrical connector there even on CAPA engined cars? If not, where did you take the feed from?
Hi Bobby, have you got any idea what your next project car will be? Will it still be a diesel or perhaps petrol?
Do you do any tuning for petrol cars or is it strictly diesels?
Just my opinion but I have never understood why people like this. It looks so cheap. Like last decade F&F ricer tuning. No offence meant but stealth/sleeper look anno 2018 means something else for me entirely.
Hi, yeah it's caught quite a bit of oil. Nothing shocking though. Perhaps that's because of the hot location it doesn't condense enough. I seem to have quite a bit of oil pre compressor side, so I've taken it off for now to see if the catch can was a restriction at 408bhp, I've got a feeling...
Hi Bobby, I'm interested in your crank case vent setup. As you don't seem to have the metal pipe coming out of the oil separator anymore. Is the oil separator still there but then just the blue pipe plumbed directly to it? Or did you upgrade the oil separator as well due to the increased blowby?
I had my car done last year by Bobby and the car sounds a little bit louder but nothing much. Mind you, I did open the inner stubs on the backbox and welded in extra pipes and it sounds just right now. :)
No droning at all, which was very important to me.
Probably doesn't help that the torque wants to fold the chassis over like a sheet of paper. Haha.
Should run 11s at Santa Pod.
Next stop Salt Flats for a VMax run. :D
Flipping awesome. I can't believe you've got an whole 100bhp more then me. I'm already scared enough with 408!!!
Thanks for keep on pushing the envelope. This is truly magnificent.
You said the lag would be gigantic. I simply disagreed and said it shouldn't be that bad. Maybe gigantic by your own standards, not by many others. It will be driveable for a daily. In the end, it's an endeavour to find out the limits of a single turbo. Which Bobby is doing, and just fine...
Wow, really dude. You've got some issues in reading comprehension. Nowhere did I say there would be less lagg then a bi-tdi setup. Only that the lag wouldn't be that bad, there's always going to be a trade off. You can interpret that all you want. I just feel sad for you that you went to the...
If I remember what he told me correctly, the lag shouldn't be that bad. All depends on the hardware and execution, and we all know Bobby's skills and knowledge.
I'm sure if he wanted a bi-turbo he would of retrofitted the unit and associated pipework and electronics. :D
Sounds to me they already know the drill!!
I'd go to a VAG specialist if I were you, not a corner place that do clutches. It's easy to get it wrong with these cars and you don't want to go through it twice, and this time having to do it through your own bank account. :)
That sounds about right regarding the Audi price. LUK makes the flywheel so sounds right re. the clutch and flywheel combo.
I'd get that amount back from the dealer, private dealer or not, by law they need to give one year warranty on your car. They sold you a lemon, clear as day. They can say...
Sorry to hear about your troubles, sounds like the clutch has had a rather tough life.
Just to comment on the brake pads. EBC has gone through different pad material over the years, and there has been some instances where they didnt get it right. However that's quite a few years back now. I had...
