Very nice buy mate. Did you find out ur wmi issue?
Id be interested in the vibra-engine mounts when you come to sell them.
When you hoping for it to be back on the road in g30 mode? Let me know if you find them at a good price anywhere,
what wastegate is on the a3 now? Mia the a3 boot panels the same as in the s3?
Put me down for the wastegate aswell as the brembos then,
Yeah the inside boot lip and the two sides that cover the amp and lights
Are they k sports any good ? I just looked a badger5 probably where il get mine from with the ecu
Yeah its the big piston size on the 18z that makes the pedal feel bad, obviously they weren’t designed for our cars and others with them have tried using different master cylinder but seems a lot of effort so On the look out For a decent set as a back up , beat me in mind when they going up for sale
never thought about that was thinking a dw65 and a line pump aswell but will look Into itBadger5 are a Garrett supplier so he would be able to get anything you wanted I’m sure.
You’ll probably be looking at external swirl pot setup for your build, something I’m gonna have to consider for mine as well potentially.
Best thing to do with the braking side of things it’s lots of research, I don’t know what the travel is like on the 18z brembo’s, they are a big caliper for sure. The K-Sports would have been made to run correctly for what car you buy then for.

That's a excellent way ur taking the car now. 650hp the thing will be a rocket going up the road.
You thought about the badger5 cams?
I sold my S3 over a year ago now but still pop in here occasionally.
Initially we were both kind of on a similar path as eachother with the hybrid set-ups etc.
I remember seeing that A3 for sale on here originally and thinking it was a bargain.
Really enjoying watching how you progress this, keep up the good work.

What do you drive now, do you miss the s3
Went to see Badger5 at the weekend to have a catch up and see a Stroker Octavia G25-660 get meth’d up on the dyno. With some impressive results!
Couple of pictures of my cars side by side, almost like the dark knight / knight in shining armour thing going on.
After further discussions and planning..... Going to be breaking the A3 and keeping the stroker engine and oil cooler. Everything else will go up for sale, which I’ll post up on the forum and eBay once they come off the car sometime in September.
With that said, I’ll be going Nortech top mount, 44-45mm wastegate and probably G30-770, having looked at compressor maps and no one having used this turbo yet on the 1.8t 20v (stroker) I’m kinda thinking go big or go home
Shopping list....
G30-770 Turbo
Nortech 1.5” Top Mount Exhaust Manifold
44-45mm Turbosmart External Wastegate
3” Downpipe
Fluid Dampener
1000cc Bosch Injectors
Forge Supersized Recirculating Valve
Gearbox (uprated)
Should see me north of 600bhp all being well.
Here are a couple compressor maps for anyone to look at, Garrett have a “Boost advisor” where by you input all the info and it generates a list of suitable turbos to run on the car.
My goals I’ve inputted were 650bhp on pump fuel with the 2L stroker engine.
This is the G30-770 @ 30psi compressor map, which seems very suitable for my setup, sitting perfectly in max efficiency.
This is how the G25-660 compares, all the same info running @ 30psi.
As you can see the G25-660 would have to work extremely hard to achieve 650bhp and be way out of it’s max efficiency. Generating masses of heat which is how I read the compressor map.
I’m a novice when it comes to turbos and reading compressor maps, so I’m open to opinions good or bad.

That's good news on the bt build your not hanging around. How long is the lead time for the turbo you want?
That's good progress mate.
There is a guy on fb a big turbo 20vt page and he is selling a 2"nortec v-band manifold if it of any interest to you
Don't bother with 2"...
1.5" is more than enough for 600hp and low EGT's...
