I thought the same thing when I first started looking into this. The size they list on the packaging is for the inner diameter, the kits come with a specific size drill bit and tap that's not...

Not to derail the thread but if the AET is rated for between 260 and 280HP what would you say are the advantages over the cheaper BBT K300?



That's cheap, might as well the same price as the...

Hadn't ever heard of FrankenTurbo, very interested to see how all this turns out. Was looking at getting a BBT K300 but if the FrankenTurbo option is only a little bit more for a whole kit it...

OEMEPC list it as a M7x20 so that's what I went and got. No one had anything locally and wanted ~$140 to get one in. Ended up getting one from an online shop for $75. Its a Recoil kit and made in...

Cheers Gavin.

Any recommendations on where to get a Helicoil like insert? The bolts look to be M7s and there's a lack of them at the usual suspects. Come across a few on Ebay but with the world...

Cheers for all the responses lads. I went with the Nulon 75W-90 and in my brief test gear changes did seem a tiny little bit smoother but I had no issues before and it could have been my imagination....

Cheers, will get on it.

That's brilliant, thanks Gavin. Only just realised that there's a sticky though. :facepalm:

Have you got any recommendations for a replacement oil? I read that some boxes develop a grinding...

Hi all,

I recently discovered that my Polo GTI seems to be leaking oil from around the large black cover on the transmission and possibly from what looks to be one of the covers underneath.

I was under the impression the manifold from an S3 isn't suitable because of the longitudinal engine layout?

That's fantastic, I'll see if I can grab one from the S3 I got the brakes off.

Is there anything else useful that I should try and grab while I'm at it?

Cheers for all the info. That's a fantastic thread you've got there as well, I've been soaking up as much info from this forum as I can.

I've seen that the MAF housing off a VR6 should fit without...

That's fantastic, a hybrid K03 sounds like the way to go. Looks like BBE sell a larger inlet pipe so that, some injectors, maybe a fuel pressure regulator and I think I should be set.

I've gotten...

Thanks sambb, I've contacted Airtec to see if the kit does indeed come with the MAP sensor adaptor.



Cheers Grant, I've sent you a PM.



Interesting. I've not yet seen the work required...

Thanks for the quick reply sambb,

The Airtec sounds like the way to go then.

I was interested in the MAP adapters that are included with some of the kits, any idea what the go is with them? The...

Hi all,

I've slowly been improving my Polo over the last year and I'm at the stage where I'm looking into intercoolers. Everyone here seems to really know what they're on about so I'd hoped to...

Hi all,

Last year I got myself a 2006 VW Polo GTI with 52,000KM on the clock and have been slowly but surely building it up.

I came here to hopefully get some advice as everyone seems pretty...
