Hello all, Can anybody sanity check my current logs & confirm that I’m not way off the mark? The car is a 1.8T BAM with hybrid turbo, 550cc injectors, FMIC, Bosch 044 fuel pump, 4Bar FPR, 3” exhaust all the way through, decat, badger5 TIP & mushroom air filter. Uprated rods & exhaust valves...

I've since found out that you can clock the turbo. If I was doing it again & it didn't fit first time, I would try clocking the turbo before trying anything else, if that doesn't work I would get the turbo to fit to the mainifold & the mounting bracket then modify the down pipe to fit. You...

Hello All, I'm going to replace the con rods on my BAM engine with some uprated ones, at the same time I'm going to re-hone the cylinders and replace the piston rings and con rod big end bearings. Looking at the photos of when I last had the engine apart the cylinders are glazed, so really...

Cheers, It'a a Chinese F23, I thighend up the wastegate (probably to much), now I'm back to boost spike, I think it's a matter of finding the sweet spot between the wastegate & tune. I'll fit the FMIC when I get round to it and see what happens.

Hello all, It’s been a while since I posted anything, so if anyone’s interested I thought I’d post an update. Recap\Update The original aim was 300HP. The current mods to TT Quattro 2002 BAM; - Complete 3" exhaust - Decat - F23 turbo - Chinafold Ported & polished as best I could (the...

It was the FKKVS fuel supply correction factor map.

Hello All, Update on the exhaust manifold saga, IT'S IN & WORKING. Ended up with new dog-bone poly bushes, new performance engine mounts (Vibra Technics) and modifying the down pipe. Order of trail & error; - Ground out & polished manifold as best I could. - Made bolt holes in manifold...

Not really, I mocked it up several times using washers to simulate different size spacers, just couldn't get it to fit with any real clearance. Ended up modifying the down pipe, smaller flexi-joint & some pre-bent lengths of exhaust (just hope my dodgy welding holds up). Have you tried a spacer...

Fitted dogbone bushes, brought to light that the engine mounts are shot. I thought this might be the case but was hopping it wasn't. Bought these...

Hello, I need a K04 inlet (exhaust manifold to turbo) spacer 17mm made up so my Chinafold will fit and my 3" down pipe won't rub on the prop shaft (225 Quattro, BAM). I've been around the local (Worthing, West Sussex) metal fabricators and no one can help, anyone any idea here I can get a...

I've got a solution & a problem; I've put a 10mm spacer between the down pipe & the exhaust and I've used the flange from the old manifold as a spacer between the new manifold and turbo. I've test fitted it and it's going to work but the old flange is 12mm and I need 17mm, plus 2 gaskets...

Cheers, I've already ported it, well opened up the inlet to the same size as the gasket, greatly reduced the 3 spokes in the collector and polished it. Found out it's the hard line part of the oil feed that stopping the turbo rotating enough, need to change it for hose. I've found the turbo to...

Hello all, After a harrowing experience removing the old dissolved Aliexpress stainless manifold from the TT Quattro MK1 BAM, I'm having problems fitting the new cast Chinafold. The problem is that after finally getting the collector fitted to the (F23 hybrid) turbo there is no clearance prop...

I've put the factory map on with the TVUB, KRKTE and the LAMFA from the 550cc injector maps. It's still dropping the AFR, but not as pronounced, I think its the voltage offsets. Has anybody got the offsets for the Bosch 550cc 0280158117? Log attached.
