Welcome look forward to see the build play out. Like JettaGLI said def pick your tuner first and speak with them. Also as much as we all don't see eye to eye on everything here we all get along and happy to help where we can.

For my shameless plug if you have any interest in a cts kit cheap let me know i have one i am going to take off my mk5, i had it for sale before with trade ect but going to to sell it way cheaper. Its a gt3071 version, would include everything you need.

Oh also my car runs again. It just put down 550whp with the methanol turned completely off. Valves started to float because we swapped the intake valves I broke for IE ones without upgrading the springs. Head is getting fully built, I think they finished it yesterday.

Finally got around to swapping from the .82 to .63 Tial turbine housing. Picked up over 1300rpms of spool nothing else changed on a gtx3071r.

20psi by 4k. I figured I'd pick up maybe 500rpms, I'm pleased.



God knows their turbine wheel is getting long in the tooth. Not that it doesn't work great, but I'd hope it's more than a refresh.

Hey guys, this isn't a BT, but how much of an issue is this pin being loose? Would/could it cause boost loss, especially boost holding? Just looking for some info from turbo gurus.

Are you talking about the whole thing being off/disconnected or just how the part with the hole kinda rattles once it is disconnected?

So the issue with pretty much all TSI ihi turbos is at that connection(i know this is a FT however). VW cost analysis made them not put in a 3cent bushing, it eventually wears out into a big hole causing play exactly like that wobbling. So if you had your downpipe off youd be able to pull the wastegate flapper open without moving the rod, ie p0299.
