oh the engine can take it just fine, he was having a problem with the turbo suffering from Oil starvation to the tubo on the track, something to do with the sump and oil not getting around properly on sharp tuning IIRC.  Its fitment and cost im wondering about in comparision to say the APR K04 kit.

I'd like to give a Loba a whirl on a tsi if anyone's up for it!
Your right about Shauns car, it had oil pick up issues and we decided it may have damaged the engine as it happened so many times, it ran some mental oil temps too so prob contributed to it
You can't baffle the sump properly because of the balancer shafts taking up room
But you could easily mod it to be deeper with a longer pick up
The FSi has 150 bar fuel pressure standard and Loba have a 200 bar pump in testing
So fueling is far better than even a K04 car with an autotech rail pump!
The 210 brake motor has same comp ratio as the K04 motor too
Not sure on block strength or piston materials though etc

Think APR are putting a GT30 onto their white rocco soon and gunning for 500bhp on the TSI motor

That should find out how strong the engine is

Correctly tuned I bet it works, it's got the fuel for it.
Just got to wait & see it blows the head clean off @ 2 bar  :signLOL:

(if it's ever run at high boost that is)

I would happily let you strap one to my 2.0 TSI VRS for testing except for the slight problem being the Irish sea between us mate!

Havnt had it fitted yet mate as i need the car for work as im working in Southport so unless steve can do it at a weekend, which is unlikely with his work load then maybe a few weeks before i can get in for fitting.
