What modifications needed to the K04-064 turbo itself? 'tweak on the compressor side' Do you have pics of your discharge pipe? Do these use metic banjo bolts for coolant/oil?

Wheels or crank? Crank then just do a k04-064 or relevant hybrid. Wheels then its your pick pretty much, I stress you avoid any gtx28, just a pointlessly expensive turbo with an old ns111 turbine wheel from the normal gt28 series (ball bearing). May as well grab a billet comp wheel from pagparts...

A T25 6758 outspools T25 GT2860RS/2871R setup quite easily with much more torque and also peak hp. Displacement was the same, maybe some other changes like larger plenum intake manifold were added later. Follow this thread...

Where'd you hear that? Some were canned and replaced. The 6758 was never produced in t3 nor t4 twinscroll housing. You can still get the 6258 and 6758. Check fullrace website for actual efr range and housing options. Pagparts website for the kit. Would be good if you could just buy the manifold...

Ppt efr kit!! Me7 can control its boost controller - 2 less things to worry about. 3 if you count the iwg. Gtx28xx still use the old ns111 turbine wheel. It's half a gtx unfortunately. Gtx30xx is a "full" gtx but probably too big for what you want.

http://www.passatworld.com/forums/b5-information-base/196909-complete-1-8-pcv-system-diy-aeb.html Pics don't load (big shame). I'm sure if you look up those part numbers on vagcat etc it'll be useful. AEB is extremely simple: Crankcase breather assembly (bolted to block) -> "S" Hose (sealed by...

Been lurking this thread, very impressive development. Wanted to gather your thoughts on the oil separator. With the 3rd outlet, do you recric to TIP or leave it open to atmosphere? Have you been collecting much oil and thinking about draining back to sump?

This has happened to me, float got stuck on the feed below the tank lid after I completed an 044 intank install. Problem showed itself as I came flying out of a left hander pinging. For the next 5-6km it was misfiring and stalled a couple times. I'd assume a diesel would follow similar...

IE Tuscans as well as Scat rods drop in to 058 blocks IIRC.

I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if the ECU had different size/memory addresses to AWM either. But haven't investigated dumps of it yet, ECU itself is least of my concern tbh. What year b5.5 Passat did you use? My ETKA is expired and I can't be stuffed getting another running on virtual...

Did you guys get AWT engined cars in NA? There are always subtle yet stumbling differences despite engine code being the same. This seems to have 'normalised' from the B6 onwards.

I have a feeling it is to do with the gearbox VSS, CAN communication & integration (cluster speedo input). Possibly talking out of my ****. 2002+ B6 A4s this was one of the major differences, moving the VSS front the front diff output flange to the wheel speed sensor at the hubs. Another thing...

Something sparked me about the <2002 requirement. Is this because of VSS sensor differences? Are the main engine looms a different part number between 2000-2002 AWT & 2002+ AWT?

Definitely will start a thread on it when the right donor comes by, that seems to be the difficult part. Trying to avoid the automatics as well.

What engine harnesses from Passat can drop in? How about AWT (ignore the 06a bottom end & vvti)? Is the pedal to fusebox loom PnP or do I have to snip one out of a donor car? I will be using AWT Passat donor car if one comes up cheap and going with the 06A bottom-end. My own opinions and...
