Sharkie's TSI Amarok Build

Thanks for confirming, thought that might be the case. I think it's T9351 then.

Mate you'd need the AWD conversion to put that sort of power to the road, already the stage 1 APR tune makes for an interesting drive in the wet!!

I'll be keeping a look out for that build, certainly would be a unique machine!

R8 Coils

I actually started out to fit a Bar-Tek PCV delete. Only had the adaptor plate, figured I could use a cheapie eBay catchcan .... I was wrong

The Bar-Tek adaptor is very good (comes from Germany), but had to order the rest of their kit. Could not be bothered to try and make something else fit.

Could not do nothing, so fitted the R8 coils only.

Nice work, red coils look great in your engine bay!

Is the PCV delete to get rid of the steam train whistle?

Every time I look at this thread my wallet gets a whole lot lighter!!

Alas no, the PCV is just to clean up the oil vapors into a catch can and remove a point of failure. The whistle comes out of the turbo directly. If you take the boost pipe off the turbo you will see the PCV return there ... that return acts like a bottle top when blown across ... high speed air creates the whistle. It's pretty unique to tuned TSI Amaroks and (some) tuned MK6 Golf Rs.

However, this is in Big Red's future too .... IE VW & Audi 2.0T Intake Manifold | Fits FSI & TSI Gen1/2 Engines

Ah right got it. It certainly is a unique sound but you get used to it after a while.

That manifold is very nice!

love the manifold, busy eyeing on at a local VW shop, www.vagcafe.co.za

The BarTek kit (the rest of it anyway) arrived within 5 days from ordering. Much to be said for German efficiency (and a $100DHL shipping fee ...)

Fitted it all up over the weekend.

Made a bracket to fit the can which looks almost OEM. Would have liked a different angled adaptor the inlet to the can and may order that to improve the look (OCD much).
