Hello,
So I currently have a problem, my engine's turbo is leaking oil, so I believe it is giving his last breaths. No idea why, since the previous owner was an old man, and I also drive it quite passively, I like speed, but since it's my car, I just speed up once in a while, yet, even like that it shutdown, anyway, I like to have my car to its best, it's fairly clean in my eyes for a Bora and oreviews are good, even tho I'll completely change its aesthetics.
But since I have problems with the turbo might as well just achieve better performance with, it if possible.
Anyway this is the info I can provide and hopefully someone will be able to help me.
I have a AJM 115HP PD, 2000 with 167k KMs on the clock. I bought it from the previous owner, who bought it from VW, 2 years ago and never had troubles with it until now.
I can remove the oil dip stick and the engine 'respirator/breather(?)' while the car is working/idle and I have no gas or oil leaking which tells me my cylinders and pistons are fairly good... around the engine the only oil leaks I see asides of the turbo is the EGR which I already 'deactivated', plan on cleaning it along with the inlet manifold when I do the mods.
So the mods I'm thinking to make are:
- EGR complete delete.
- Whole straight pipe. 70mm downpipe and the rest 63mm.
- ASZ(130hp) map sensor.
- ASZ injectors.
- Turbo 1749vb rebuilt from ARL(150hp).
- Reinforced Front Mount IC from ARL.
- Remap to bring that to 200HP.
On top of that I'll be doing the normal maintenence, even tho it doesn't need, but I'll be replacing:
- Oil/Air/Gas Filters.
- Timing belt and Water Pump.
The question is, I do know the turbo from ARL and the injectors from asz can handle the 200hp, hell, there are ASZs where I live that are pushed to 350+ with 150 NOS shots, but will my AJM block handle it without blowing up? I'm aiming at the 200hp mark maybe 210/20 max, but if the map is as expected I'm aiming for 200hp on point.
Like I said I'm not doing drags nor racing every night, I just like to floor it occasionally.
I'm also going to get a better clutch to handle the extra power.
Opinions, please?
Thanks for your time!
