Hi, i Would scan for fault codes and as advised above by Kev and a few others- the main fuel pump aka Vp44 is the main culprit ! I suggest you get a code scan and post the definitions on the forum and I could advise you more however I would rebuild the pump and re-time and program ! I wish you...

Thumbs up ! That sounds like a plan ! There is a lot to gain from a bit of port matching but the real gain is removing the bumps/swirl ports around the intake valves...

Most pulleys I have changed on these were on the car, it does require dropping the pump but it can be done with the pipes still attached...

Glad to hear you've sorted the low power issue... I cannot fault it from the video, it pulls nicely... personally I think it's an injector clattering or could be a dry tappet/hydro lifter...I wish I knew you wanted an engine, thrown a working AYM 155 Bhp at the local scrap yard, you could have...

In his defense, there is a toothed belt driving the high pressure fuel pump and it's at the front of the engine. The timing chains are a whole different issue !

Buy a quality oil sensor and do an oil change at the same time. If I were you I would take the sump off and check/replace if necessary the oil pump/balancer shaft hex drive ! Just to be on the safe side !

Yep, hybrid turbos are possible however the turbos are water cooled and quite tiny- there is not much that can fit inside the stock gtb1749vzk housings... some modified billet compressor wheels and a bit of know how will do wonders !

A dpf delete, pump change, remap and hybrid turbochargers can unleash its true potential...

Set your target then we can discuss your requirements ! What year is your car/engine and how much you're thinking to put into it !

You need to delete it in the map, vcds cannot turn the Dpf regen off !

You can use some hybrid turbochargers based loosely on the rs6 blowers(get in touch with Adam at tditurbos) but I would use something more modern: borg warner EFR series...I am sure you can get them to fit if you relocate the turbos... failing that some Holset small/medium frame will probably...

Engine code is stamped on the block, look on driver side cylinder head where it meets the block at the front in the vee of the engine...it's quite difficult to see as the area rusts and it's stamped with dots... easy to see in this picture right above the thermostat...in that little square of...

It's under driver's side seat under the carpet...
