Don't want to sound negative, But if your head gaskets gone it's basically a full engine build to fix it correctly , so your looking at thousands Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm looking at getting tgv deletes for mine but trying to figure out if it's really worth it , but it will give me the opportunity to paint my inlet tho so not sure [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just see this on fb glwts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see you took your intake manifold off , how long roughly and how much of a pain in the !Removed! was it ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I as nobody here has even had it done . I don't know of any U.K. Company that does it on the new ones , and tbh to do it properly ( undoing the four screws isn't even half the job ) and your right it wouldn't be worth the time just to do quarter of the job like that . I don't really think it matters if the engine is in or out and now the parts are available in the U.K. To save endless hours of messing about with a dremil etc looks like I'm going to have to find out , as everyone seams to be speculating but clearly nobody knows Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If your that worried there is a company round my way that does a dpf and carbon cleaning service , although it looks a bit crazy what they do it seems really good and comes highly recommended , the thing with these diesel dpf is to do it sooner rather than later , what may cost £200 now could save you over £1k in the future , it's worth thinking about .

Was just looking at how long it might take me and tbh , looks quite strait forward obv it's going to be fiddly the only thing I can see the would be an issue is the fuel lines :/ , and tbh it's only really worth the expense if you do the mod yourself would cost a fortune for a garage to do it .

Haha looking good I'm currently whoring parts myself although maybe not quite as exciting as yours ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some good progress , I would recommend you get a remap after you fit the intake just to be safe and to optimise those gains ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was an Audi Main dealer that got caught as well a while back. Yes a customers rs6 iirc !Removed! ridiculous Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

some good work mate , Those injectors look familiar ;) , glad you finally got round to using them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahaha banter !!! Haha i was going to say that but though probably best not too lol .. back to topic tho don't it just suck that you can't take your car in for something as simple as breaks without some disrespectful !Removed! battering it down the road Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just done some more research it says give up to 6 hrs installation time :/ , I know their a pain in the backside but 6hrs is a long time , does that sound right to you guys ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahaha is that dyno proven ? ;) maybe I should look into this lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I cant figure out where they got the hp gain from. all the tgv deletes i find they talk about custom tune (in the US flash maps are the norm), which will always see gains over a standard map or even a flash map. Also seems to be they combine it with egr deletes and other bits and bobs so isn't just a tgv delete. Not saying it wont improve things, but i take what comes out of the US with a pinch of salt most of the time rather than actual fact. Did you find any threads that were before, during and after the tgv was removed? I believe from the r and d figures posted but manufactures , also yes all figures are after a tune because the car will limp out if you don't turn the fault off , but 10 hp I feel is a believable gain and remember when manufactures post these gain figures that may well not be peak hp gain that could well be in the midrange , also one would think on a higher tuned car like my own you may well see a greater gain than on a stock car , so it's all swings and roundabouts really Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just found a good how to guide on another Scoob forum seams quite I'm depth , hope I'm aloud to post here , here's the link if anyone's interested https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1165948 Also here's some faqs regarding tgv deletes it's estimated approx a 10 hp gain https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1663677 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Think it depends on year , I know Alan j doesn't do then on the more modern road cars , or never used to , but as I have no egr no cats , I might as well get rid of them as well ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also if braking hard from 70 plus mph isn't going to bed your new pads very well , when I got my Godspeed setup it's says you need to do roughly 300 miles driving like miss daisy to properly get the reaction to take place the it sayed do 3 hard breaking almost emergency stop from 70-20 mph then that finishes them off , if it was me I wouldn't be happy especially as they prob charged you a fair whack for the privilege Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That would be the best idea although sounds rather pricey lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Speeding in your car in a residential area isn't going to make you look good , and I doubt they had much mechanical sympathy when battering the car around like warm up etc , I would go confront them and see what they say , but first name and shame the !Removed! ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Carbon cleaning is totally different to red ex tho , carbon cleaning I would recommend , it does seam a really good service and not heard anyone say it wouldn't be suited for built engines etc , where as red ex is only a fuel system treatment so will only clean / cleanse the fuel system Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really looking just to optimise everything I've got I spose it like running a bigger bell mouth down pipe it's just going to make the air flow more efficient I'm sure you will notice a difference in drivability I hope and with a map , just want to get everything done tbh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the Alcateck is the most common I'm not sure tho that might only be for new age Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most fuel treatments and octane boosters say on them only use every 5000 miles or so I defiantly wouldn't recommend using regularly , and tbh most contain nasty stuff the probably isn't that good for your engine like creosote , like I said just use vpower it detergents will do exactly the same thing just over time and if you've been running on it like you say the effectiveness would be minimal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
