  1. The BBM ISV reroute kit keeps the boost from bleeding back into the boost return system by routing it back into the intake tract. Increases boost by approx. 2-3 psi and allows a charger with a power pulley to produce it's full potential. Aerospace machine beaded ends for a solid hose connection. No oil blockage or valve cracking pressure losses. Smoother idle and more reliable than the check valve alternative. All hardware and installation instructions included for a turn key kit.
  2. get a bbm boost hose kit like mine, got it all built in.... The BBM Kit is $299.00!! on Sale!
  3. the guys at VWvortex said that the tiny filter on the ISV will leak more boost than tha ISV already leaks so you have to reroute it to the intake track somehow...any pics of that?
  4. Nevermind, I just found it. http://cypressconcepts.com/
  5. I agree! Also, where can someone get that metal plate that goes on the charger return let??????
  6. is there a spot to mount the charger on a 8v 2L bottom??
  7. well that was easy...undid the 3 bolts holding the exhaust to the cat and then did the head bolts and some stuff and poof it popped right out the top!! What sucks now is that after getting the head off it revealed a burnt out piston!!! #*$@@#$!!! My friend said he will give me a 2.0 bottom end and I can use the new 1.8 head with it...Will that work? I know I will need a thicker head gasket to up compression, is there anything else I need?
  8. wow, thanks for your input!!! It's just this one guy that has done swaps on golfs said that they were tack welded..(gonna laugh at him when they're not) I have "Liquid Wrench" (had to use it to get the last bolt off the alternater...broke 1 of my 6mm allen wrenches trying it...had to go buy the allen kit for a socket wrench...heh) Please if anyone else has any info Harlp meh!!!
  9. I am replacing my head cylinder with a newly rebuilt one and I havn't got the manifolds off yet (exhaust manifold) cause I have to wait till tomorrow morning for some jack stands and an extra hand...one of my friends that works on vw's told me that the exhaust manifold has to have the bolts removed through the bottom (under the car) I can see 2 I can get from the top but he also said that the exhaust manifold bolts are Tack Welded>?? Is this true? how can I get them off without struggling??
  10. mine are quiet till the bottom then a muffled thud...doesn't sound like anything is broken. I just had a new window regulator put in on the passenger side and it does it too. But its not all extra loud or anything. kinda makes me feel like its more of a tank :D (it just needs a blow off sound when rolling down, now that'd be hott...spssshhhhhhh...thud :D)
  11. Sweetness, I just got off the phone with my friends fav machine shop and they said it would be $90 to machine the cap to fit with specs...but I had to bring a couple caps? Guess it's trial and error with them. The only other resonable machine shop I found was this older guy and he wanted $100-$150 "Depending on how aggrivating the job was" The other shops I called didn't want to do it and told me to just rebuild the older head and such...(I was going to rebuild the old head later on with bigger valves and such but needed a quick fix for a while) Where Can I Find More Cam Bearing Caps??? OR does it have another name cause I can't find them anywhere!?
  12. sweet, thanks for all of your imput! MAY THIS NEVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE...EVAAAR!!
  13. He called back and he said his buddy that has been building C's since they came out (ehh) said he has had this happen and he had an old bearing cap machined to fit...said its a 30 minute job...He also said he is paying for it or giving me a nice refund, but He said my old one should fit it but the clearence might be off a hair or so, Sooo I have to just take the head and bearing cap from my old head to the machine shop and hae them fit it to bentley spec. Does this sound bout right?
