  • What is the best engine setup for your big turbo 1.8T 20v. Do you need upgraded rods or pistons? Or maybe valvetrain or a 2L stroker kit. Maybe you don't need any of it. In this video we set some guidelines based on horsepower goals for what's required for the average 1.8T Big Turbo Engine build.

      What's the next biggest turbo you recommend after K04-001? I want to spool quick, but be out of the dangers with the hefty spike I get. I'm full bolt on with APR K04 software, and actually love the performance of this setup, but I am used to this power level and want a bit more. Butt Dyno says maybe between 265-275, but I'd like to see closer to 350 awhp

    I have a GT3071R on my 20th, and to me it’s a pretty much perfect turbo set up for a 1.8T. Spools up quick, and has a fair amount of potential for good useable power. Here in the mountains, 350 WHP in a MK4 is a barrel of fun.

    Hey guys! Been watching more & more of your videos lately.. I just picked up a 99 1.8t AEB Passat B5.5 with the O1E 6-Speed last fall @140k miles. $1200! Beautiful car - stored in a garage through our rust belt winters by PO. It's great to have some recently filmed videos showing badass builds on these cars. I won't be getting into fun power adders anytime soon, I've got a bunch of small stuff to conquer first. I've got a full URO parts suspension kit to finish installing. As well as Gates timing belt, new WP, etc to be installed as soon as the weather warms a bit. After that it's straight to K04 & some fun exhaust building.. you guys and some others are BIG motivation for me right now. I appreciate your in-depth explanations that could include newbs like myself to this side of the automotive industry. I currently work in parts at a VW dealership (access to lifts once a week after hours through work), & I have a little less than a decade of experience doing so for other manufacturers.. but all the information you guys share give me a WAY better idea of where/how I want to make my first changes to this car. Thank you!

      Your going to get bored of the k04 turbo really quickly. I wish I never would’ve spent all that money and time on everything for that type of set up. It just gets old really quickly and you’re gonna want more power. There’s nothing quite like boosting 30+ psi with these motors! But best of luck with your aeb 1.8t! (Which is what I also have)

I may have missed out on a previous video that explains this, but was wondering (for a fwd MK4 platform) what would be the most reliable and capable engine code? I have a spare high mileage AUM engine... Not looking for more than 350bhp and I want it to be useable... Is the AUM engine a good base? Any recommendations for a turbo to pair with it that will spool quickly and still perform throughout the rev range? Any feedback would be awesome. And any recommendations on budget friendly parts would also be appreciated. 🤘🏻

    I have had B5s for well over a decade, have had many of them, done MANY builds for myself and others (professionally and in my own gig) currently own 5 audis in my driveway rn, 2 1.8ts rn, stage 3 S4, 4.2 S4. Even with a super clean S4 i swear i have as much if not more fun in my B5 A4s😂 ive been building my B5 for all 10 years. Car got totalled and i literally moved the engine and everything over to a new one😂 it depends on what ypu are looking for. Ive had tons of fun fabbing up everything from large small frame turbos (non bolt in k04s) at the ragged edge of compressor efficiency, to custom BATs. Imho right in the middle is best. Gt2071r is always a goody, reasonably low lag and decent enough pep. T3t4s have a pretty large span of sizes that work well, even for some big power, Had a custom hybrid holset Hx35 Hx 40 professional wheel with a smaller exhaust housing that was tons of fun. More lag but better than most large frame turbos and still had a usable power band. IE rods, buy once and never worry again about anything you do. Ecs RA4 smfw and a B7 RS4 clutch and p.p for a good cheap clutch thatncan handle good power and drives phenominal. Valvetrain if youre pushing above 8250 rpm because you will 100% get valve float like clockwork at 8250. Midsize medium frame turbos are as about as big as youd want to go for decent driveability. Honestly the 5 speed gear ratio from the 2.8 v6 B5 is my favorite for 1.8ts. Little longer gear little more time in tge powerband without constantly having to drop out of it like the 01E does

I haven’t even put more time into the GTI and going big turbo like I originally wanted, my GTI stayed at a stage 2 210hp and my stock 2018 golf R is my favorite car still. My mk4 GTI always gives me little problems and I got tired of it, with over 15k in parts and it just sits. I got greedy when I was younger and now it sits. 300hp should’ve been good but I bought into the hype and now my stick golf R gets all my attention

    What else would you recommend? It’s my daily. I’d say it’s possibly some where in the 235-245 hp arena but not positive. United motor sports only posted their boost but not so much the actual gains in power. It’s been running great, I love my 2003 1.8t. I can’t think of anything else to get more power without having to start spending a lot more money ( cough; bigger turbo)
