See chaps the main problem I have here (in ROI) is that there's absolutely fuckall decent garages or specialists in such work. I already went through one well advertised dealership which is now (about a year later) absolutely shut dead and one wannabe specialist of whom now I need to start...

Welly, where did you get the replacement block from? I'm looking for a replacement for my broken AMK and it's just that I haven't decided yet will I get someone to build me a stronger engine and go BT or just upgrade what's required in the replacement unit and go K04 hybrid since it already has...

Cheers chaps, not ready to make a purchase yet though. I want to get everything together at the same time and just drop it in and bolt it on instead of gathering parts here and there. That's why I'm trying to find out which is the best configuration in this situation, going BT or dropping a...

The 2.7 bi-turbo I presume? Wasn't Kim Collins who did the same? Yes, what Badger4 thinks of all this?

I had been following both threads for some time now but am more interested in a ready to bolt on proven solution kind of a thing rather than speculations, of course if there's one. Going to make some enquiries tomorrow with backdraftmotorsports to see what they could possibly build for me for...

Dear all, Sadly after fitting a new cylinder head (none_OEM new head + valves, camshafts - refurbs) and new turbo (aftermarket made out of tins by small Chinese handies in the MAO republic) and having driven the car for about a month and a half I discovered a rattle in the engine which I...

And I thought I was special if not blessed.. Damn MAFia :-]

Just fitted my AMK with a new head but now it turns out turbo's a goner. Found a new K04-022 direct replacement for £295 + shipping on ebay. I specificaly asked the seller is it brand new or a recon and he/they claim its new and comes with 3 months return to base warranty. Last time I checked...

Nothing wrong with a 4 wheel drift eh?

Thinking of making it my next item on the list, would you strongly recommend?

I don't see Haldex Controller Upgrade being mentioned here, heard it does wonders in terms of handling. Who had it done and what's the verdict?

Never mind scratches if it belonged to a gal check the clutch and gearbox, many of them are completely oblivious that it has more than 2 gears.

I heard that red ones are the fastest, no? Than there are negaro blue with canary yellow being the weakest of the bunch. ;-)

Excatly, cross-reference everything and make sure you get exactly what you're paying for, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Give the garage who did the job a call and find out for sure it happened, a change of cambelt and water pump is something I would definitely want to have a receipt for. IMHO if someone tells you he'd been looking after the car but doesn't have receipts puts everything in doubt, doesn't it? The...

Was ready to order Monday but had to add my new bank account to paypal first, than wait few days to verify it, than I realized there's no such thing as instant top up so I had to run to the bank myself to make a money transfer which will take another few days before the funds come through... I'm...

Have also a look at this thread: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?91038-Audi-S3-Cracked-Head-Help-Needed!! I'm ordering mine next week, it's a brand new complete head with new valves and other bits, the only things not_new are camshafts which brings the price down to £490. I suppose...

Busy day amigo?

A bit of update from this morning. Got a reply both from TSR performance and cylinderheadmaster.co.uk - TSR offers to rebuild my head with old valves and cams for £550, the other crowd quoted me £490 for a brand new complete head ready to be fit plus they will pick up the old unit and discount...

I shall find out, cheers! Did your work stop on the head itself? I had this issue checked with the dealership first and they wanted to fit me with a new turbo, my mechanic said apart from it being full of water it still spools like Henry Hoover.
