hey Rob BAR-TEK out of Germany has the best stuff for cars! I am currently doing the tfsi roller cam mod to my fsi!! no more changing the am follower!!!
For that price id rather just bang a cam follower in every annual service lolWell there are only a few kits like this out there. another kit involves removing the cam lobe and having a custom one fitted on. The way i look at it i dont have to worry about my APR HPFP busting through the follower from the bigger piston I have all ready noticed my follower wearing at the center more than before. I would like to see some documentations of people that have used this setup. I have been researching this for quite a while! and decided to pull The trigger! ECS used carry it but they no longer do?? Hmm...Also give Bar-tek a call and see what they say about the matter.
It's not about the cost completely. It's about peace if mind especially for me who is running a lot of fuel pressure. Don't want to be full throttle banging a hole in my follower prematurely. It's not for everyone and for the person with just a stage 1 or 2 I would say is almost not worth it but I'll be running over 150 bar fuel pressure when it's all said and done which is quite a lot of pressure for that part to withstand continually.For that price id rather just bang a cam follower in every annual service lol
Fair point I wasn't looking at it from a big turbo car point of view.It's not about the cost completely. It's about peace if mind especially for me who is running a lot of fuel pressure.

Ive only had experience fwd engine mounts and they have always been rock hard the better (for a serious fast road or track car) as for 4wd not sure either way id still definitely go with something more performance related id do the gearbox mounts as well though.One thing I never really thought about were the engine mounts , well upgrading really.
Something I noticed on the old bus whilst I had it jacked the other day, leaking oem engine mounts , which I've seen a few threads about.
Whilst I was under the old bus doing the drive shafts I could see clearly both mounts have been leaking, how long for is hard to say but its not a new oil stain, engine doesn't appear to move around more than normal but if they have been leaking for a while I may have not noticed the gradual loss of engine stiffness.
So I'll add on a pair of new mounts but should i just go oem again or with something a tad stronger.
Any suggestions from experience chaps.
Allways going to be an Avant Richard, I just really like them.
Sad times but sounds like the right decision for you.
Meanwhile those with less sense are carrying on.
She's in the end of the month for some work ;-)

Car modification is never a sensible choice, its one of passion
with a FMIC, HPFP upgrade and high flow cat you’re only a weekend of work away from an extra 80hp and a boatload of torque to transform how it drives.

Did you cancel the turbo order in the end?
