Not sure what the EGT's are (the engine has only once gone into limp mode at 34psi 4 years ago), however the turbo has been and is coping well (water cooling helps). The only current issue I have is that I need to swap over the clutch as the current one has worn out.

Thank you for your reply.
I was about to post saying that I just paid for a DMF FX300 from CM. They gave me a deal I couldn't refuse. They have also been very helpful since day one when I originally purchased a SMF kit off them.
I found all the parts required for a DSG conversion, and it cost...
Hmm, I have tried an Audi petrol gearbox in my Jetta, while I was getting parts for the stock diesel gearbox to be rebuilt, and the gears were so short, I hated it.
I'm guessing that I'll also have to look into a DSG box off a TDI? Maybe the gears aren't as short as a petrol version?
I'll try...
I was hoping the 1st comment would go against a DSG conversion... Hahaha.
Yeah I think a DQ250 would be better as well as it's proven. The other thing is, I really like my JLU ratios. I don't think I'll be able to find such ratios in a DSG, unless I'm wrong?!
I've attached the ratios from my...
Hey all, quick one. A crazy idea got into my head to do a DQ conversion. I know that the DQ250 is the direct replacement, however can a DQ500 work?

Hey, sorry I haven't done any logs for a while now as my clutch is slipping. Once that is resolved I can continue logging and show the results.
Correct, I use those nozzles.

Hey!
02q transmission (JLU transmission code).
SMF does work fine, however I have begun to hate (after 5 years) pressing the clutch pedal at a standstill due to the transmission making loud noises.
When I used the CM FX350 kit, the transmission noises on idle were there, but I increased the...
Mine is 240mm.
I 1st ran a CM FX350..it lasted under 10,000km.
I then ran a Sachs organic kit..it lasted around 27,000km.
I'm currently running a CM FX100..it lasted around 30,000km.
*All of the above kits are with SMF*
I spoke to someone at SouthBend HQ and they have stated that "We...
Thank you for your reply.
I'm currently using CM SMF clutch kit and it's been working well...up until the moment I went for even more power.
I will give them a call and see what else they can offer, thanks.
Hey all, so I got in touch with a reseller of Bully clutches and he mentioned to me for my current setup I'd need to either go for a race style friction plate (which won't last more than 10,000km) or just get the same organic friction plate which currently lasted around 30,000km on my previous...
How loud is it on idle with the clutch pedal depressed?
Are you able to take a quick video clip so I can hear it?
With the clutchmasters kit I was able to increase the idle to around 950RPM and the gear rattling would go away.
With the Sachs kit the gear rattling would go away over 1600RPM on...
Hi all, a bit of an update.
My latest ECU tune has too much torque for the current clutch kit (Clutchmasters) and I was wondering if there is a full fascia friction plate that is rated higher than my current Clutchmasters full fascia friction plate. My car is still a daily so I'd prefer to keep...
Thank you! My project car is coming close to an end though. I've modified almost everything I can to it (performance-wise).
Which engine does your TDI have?
Yes the 2060vklr is the perfect turbo in my opinion for my BKD. It's ball bearing and uses water-cooling [emoji6]
I've also upgraded it...
Great to hear!
My coolant loss on the A revision head was instant. From no coolant loss of over 5 years, I floored my car twice in the space of 30 minutes and the next day white smoke began to appear...
Does anyone know of a workshop where I can get new camshafts machined?
Nothing too...
Thank you for the info, much appreciated.
I bought an AMC head, hopefully it flows as good as the stock head!
I'm also looking at aftermarket profile camshafts for my BKD. Would anyone know where I can get such camshafts from?
(I'm not looking for re-grinded).

Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I last updated my thread.
Long story short, 1 week ago my BKD head decided to give in and white smoke was coming out of the exhaust. We took the head off and there are cracks in it.
The head part number is 03G103373A.
I was wondering, should I go for...
