European models had the temp sensor, US did not unfortunately. It’s not difficult to add a temp gauge, but not many people do.

Agreed, but we’ve not gotten any details other than that it failed. Short of oil starvation, sending metal debris to the turbo oil feed line, or overheating I’m not sure what other external factors would case the premature failure.

I don't know how I missed this thread but I definitely think we need more oil pressure data points to baseline what's normal vs not. Keep in mind that oil temp is a huge factor in oil pressure as well, so it's worth logging temps vs pressure. The ECU will throw a low oil pressure light if the...

Curious to hear follow up on this because the APR BW unit is pretty solid (arguably more solid than the factory IHI unit) and it's not very often you hear about them failing after such short usage.

My concern would be maxing out the HPFP if you go the larger injectors route. At that point, I’d go Nostrum…but that comes at a significant cost more than an Aux Fuel system. Keep in mind that OP is running a k04, so the additional fuel provided by a 5th injector is perfectly adequate to lower...

My vote would be for the Stratified Aux Fuel System. It’s a clean, well thought out setup without the need to run fuel lines to a dedicated tank. Plumbing is simply tee-ing off the low pressure line to the HPFP. Stratified also has a lot of experience with the mk6 platform, so tuning it is...

It started as an R32 / R20 event and has slowly morphed into a VW, Audi, Porsche, and BMW event.

The RBQ is sold out but that’s not the actual driving part. Was trying to get some mk6 interest, for whatever reason this generation is like the black hole in attendance at track, autox, and driving events. Lots of mk4, 5, and 7s though.

Anyone heading to Tail of the Dragon for Wookies this year? I’ll be driving down from VA on Thursday. Thinking about getting a smaller group of experienced drivers together for some more spirited runs on Friday, before the usual weekend traffic.

Can you just start logging in VCDS? Lambda, rail pressure, misfires, timing, fuel trims, etc. I’m not a huge fanboi of Cobb AP but I will say it’s ability to easily log makes it nice for troubleshooting.

Cobb AP w/Stratified Protune.

Honestly the Aux Fuel system worked flawlessly. It allowed me to run a more aggressive tune with my k04, without maxing out the stock injectors on duty cycle.

Bump, updated info

Updated pricing

PM sent, I’ve have a low mileage CBFA turbo available.

Yes, it was a 1st Gen (1965) Nova that now resides in Germany ironically.

I’m selling a few parts so they’re not collecting dust in the garage. Prices are OBO plus shipping. SOLD - Stratified Aux Fuel Kit - like new condition, used for 1 year / 3k miles. Comes with everything as when new, including controller, unmodified harness, 5th injector and fuel hose, throttle...

I’ve decided to return the car to semi-stock form and use as my daily driver. Nothing specifically related to the rebuild, more just change in personal and family situation. If anything the engine build showed me I miss building traditional V8’s. I’d like to switch focus to restoring classic...

Did you notice any increase in oil pressure after replacing the balance shafts? Couldn't remember if you have an oil pressure gauge.

I’d recommend EuroPros in Yorktown, if you’re anywhere close to the Hampton Roads area. You can save money on install by removing and reinstalling the trans yourself if you’re comfortable doing it. That’s what I did and i paid $400 for install. I went with a Peloquin LSD, which was about $950...
