@LC5F  Thanks for the info👍🏻

The oilpump I ordered has allready the oil presure relieve inside the oilpump and needs NO driling!! Ordered @ MIK Motoren in Germany I looked it up on their site and it looks quality stuff…
Now you’re right about oil & vibration!! More oil is better but vibration means more nock on the pistons also! So it’s a good idea to retune the engine after this setup.
Had a long and very informative conversation with a very nice chap who has a lot of engine nolidge👍🏻
I’ll see how it develops…

Anyway…. It’s good to be back “schraubing” on the vdub

@RBS  - Thank you for the information on the kit from MIK Morten https://mikmotoren.de/products/olpumpe-update-ea113?_pos=12&_sid=f5cd350ff&_ss=r
First impression was very expensive, but after watching the you tube video despite having minimal German it seems to be worth the money.
The chain retains the existing TFSI pulley, split chain also means you don't have to remove the timing belt, reduced pulley on the pump changes the oil pressure and the stand off to avoid blocking the oil return is simple but genius!

Exactly what I was thinking
Glad to be helpfull

[RBS]

Parts are arriving…

[RBS]

Fuel & cabinfilter also arrived

[RBS]

Also ordered a new DSG filling tube as I could not find my old one



It will probably pop up when I’ve finished everything as usual…

[RBS]

I think it’s time to get into action
Parts are almost taking over the garage
I hope I can remember everything…

[RBS]

Went to clean the inlet manifold, inlet valves and injectors today…







Tomorrow… new oil & filter, new spark plugs & DSG oil & filter service

I saw that video a while ago, and it makes a lot of sense.  The oil pressure gains over the stock unit are impressive.  I don't know how the EA113 even runs with the crappy amount of pressure it dishes out at low rpms.  Having said that, maybe it's not an engine that NEEDS lots of pressure?  Nissan GTR guys who fit uprated oil pumps end up flooding the cylinder head with too much oil.  Hope that isn't the case here.

As promised…
























Next up today… new spark plugs and cam follower check….

@ Pudding
I’ve ordered the kit a while ago… still waiting to receive it hope to get it in the following weeks…
I’ll let you guys know more when I get it
So far I know, nobody has mounted this kit?? The company MIK Motoren has mounted and sold hundreds of those kits mainly in Germany… Here in Belgium, nobody has it!?
Most kits are from Bartek but they need to be drilled & threded…
I guess I’ll be the mule  and give my thoughts about it

[RBS]

Spark plugs changed…









Old ones still looked good 

Camfolower is next…



But family comes first  😁
Will do it next weekend👍🏻

[RBS]

Allright 
Got this delivered today….



All the parts…



Should look something like this when it’s installed…









I’ll keep you guys up to date when I’m installing this oilpump set up…

Next up will be the timingbelt change and the 2 thermostats….

[LC5F]

Potpourri and car parts don't usually mix!
Either your other half is out - or very understanding

I am looking forward to hearing about this kit getting installed.
Also, the tube your oil cap mounts on is able to be removed... to reveal a lower oil cap thread - this is mine ripped off:

Looks so much better.

@LC5F 😁😁 your 1st gues was right  

And the tube will stay! Have some plans for the engine cover… involves Carbon… but
I’m working on that too 😁
