how comes you both doing head gaskets? what miles have you both done? Always thought the lumps rock on the passat as you never really hear of head gaskets going on these.... in my case it was my own fault as i have fitted GTB2260 turbo pushing 2.1 bar :) that was lifting the head. So in the end i e...

+ 1 , just done my head gasket and i dont think i would manage without taking the front off
plus its only 30 min to take the front off

Nice work since my last vizit on this thread. Just asking did you weld the turbo on the manifold? If you took the head out of the engine i say it would be better if you would machine the deck! Regarding the head bolts the car should have from beginning 12.9 grade bolts -so no difference beetwen ARL...

Hi all :) will try to keep this tread alive :) few more things that recently have happen. So few weeks back i have noticed that my water is disappearing through expansion tank. All the water pipes where extremely hard and pressure building in the expansion tank was throwing the water through it. So ...

Hi all :) little update , so since the last roiling road i manage to go to the one i use before and check the car on the same settings .... and best result was 213bhp , but even on the 5 gear car lost a bit of traction and a chance that the graph is not accurate on beginning :) http://i614.photobuck...

1130 BHP where did that come from ?. Doesn't inspire confidence, then 180bhp with the setup you have, as you say should be around 220-230 bhp with 1.9 bar of boost and maxed out standard injectors.

Yes sir i was not happy ...

No good posting photos we need to know what power it made on this dyno :) hm... first 2 runs it was around 1130hp YES 1130hp :) After changing few things it drooped to 181hp :) I know its impossible as car is driving much better and faster then on my old BRD and that was showing 200hp .
