I have what I believe is a BRM cylinder head that I would like to rebuild for use on a BEW. I'm aware that the BRM valves are slightly proud even when fully closed, as opposed to the BEW valves which are recessed. Using a straight edge and feeler gauges it seems the valves on the head I have...

I'm sure this has been covered but I couldn't find much searching here or on Google. Looking for good options for having a set of PD injectors rebuilt. Leaning towards DBW LLC but interested in other options, as well. Thanks.

Hello. I am wanting to replace my stock exhaust with something a little bigger, but do not want it to be particularly loud. If I could install a bigger exhaust and keep stock noise levels I would consider that ideal. I guess I'm stupid. Anyway, what is the quietest setup that I could run...

Hello. Looking for insights on a situation that developed today with my 2004 Golf GLS TDI. First the back story> The car had a 2 year old Interstate AGM battery in it.

I have already driven the car in 3 track days (2 at PIR in Portland, OR, and 1 at ORP in Grass Valley, OR) The car was mostly stock for all of these save the the last one, and felt much better than I was expecting. I...

Hello. Recently I replaced the head gasket on my 2004 BEW engine. The engine was fitted with a 3 hole gasket and that is what I installed. I also installed a VNT-17 turbo charger at the same time. Because the timing belt and related components have less than 10,000 on them, they were re used...

Hello, I have been leaning more and more towards building my 04 Golf to be a track car. I have done some reading and it seems there have been a few TDI race cars in the past, including at least one MK4 Golf with a PD engine. I notice that most of the spec sheets list the cars as having 6 speed...

Hello. I have just placed an order for most of the gauges I plan to install on my 2004 VW Golf (BEW) I am planning on EGT, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Boost Pressure, and Voltmeter. For the boost and voltmeter, I think I can figure it out. However, I some questions regarding the others. For EGT...
