Down on power....
E30m3:
Soory to hear about that Robin, some really great info in this thread regarding the Gti engine !
Robin you did proabably have it done, but did you ever check for a cracked turbo pipe ? ( don't know where ? but i had a loss of performance on my KO3 and they found a cracked Turbo pipe and that was only due to them repairing my Gti after a headon accident )
They must have checked the air mass sensor aswell ?
Hopefully the transplant you do will sort it out :smiley:
btw i think my ed30 has a loss of performance the dealer says there is nought wrong but i am adamant it does not pull as hard in the midrange ? :sad:

Yep, all the turbo hoses (SAMCO and Neuspeed Charge and Discharge) etc etc have been thoroughly checked. also MAF, PCV, DV etc.
We'll be checking the turbo on Friday.
Some of these faults are tricky to find, especially if people don't agree (not the case with me).
Why not do a diagnostic dyno plot or/and go out with a laptop and check all the gobblygook stuff (with someone who knows what they are doing!).
Anyone reliable in your neck of the woods?

VW tech document does show the turbo has to come off to inspect and test the wastegate - although there suppose to be a way of doing it on the car- just a slight space issue to deal with
Thanks Robin, as and when you can - enjoy the weekend first and foremost.

Hi all,
I'm the doner of the turbo for Red's motor (hope all goes well). The K04 debate has raised some interesting opinions on Briskoda.net for sure.
My personal opinion is without doubt AMAZING. The drive you get i feel is superb, bearing in mind I do at least 1000 miles a week.
I'll be keeping my eyes open on the forum for any future meets to try and make a presence so some of you guys can take a test drive.
Hope you dont mind me crashing on here in my VRs.
And again, hope it all goes well Red.

sibart, not wanting to drag the thread off topic too much but did you go for the full K04 upgrade package?
