Haven't done anything to the engine yet as I'm saving up for the engine bits and clutch etc.

I have purchased this directly through a friend who works for wilwood and should get it installed this week if not the next

They're wilwood 332mm two piece rotors with 6 pot calipers.

Im waiting for a reply from a source I got from US. Someone I know told me he bought a set for $380 for the powerpack kit from that source.

Btw, get your crank pulley modded with a dowel pin. Its a good insurance just in case the key way breaks. I got a friend who had a K04 who sheared his crank keyway. Expensive bill.

Just to clear this up, I am INA's Aus/NZ distributor. Neru paid MSRP plus GST and freight. MSRP for Mahle Powerpack pistons is US$595.00. I try to keep the prices down. I have to, to compete with imports who don't have to pay the taxes I do.

If your contact paid $380, he bought them new second hand I would imagine.

they look sweet, should be a massive difference and probably necessary based on the turbo your running

They're overstocked items. They're long gone now. I miss that "sale". damn it

With the AGU engine, are you using running the stock bolt down 3pin coilpack?

I did an ICM delete a while ago, saved me $550 for a genuine ICM, $220 for a non-genuine.

If your ICM fails, its pretty much a tow truck job to transport your car unless you carry a spare. With the FSI coilpacks im running, at least if one's dead, I got a spare in my car lol.

I think Chris sells the INA coilpack spacers. I never had issues with mine popping out...however the spacers does make the engine bay look tidier.

edit: just to give an idea how it looks like

I still have the stock coil packs, I'm saving up to buy the 2.0l coil packs from ina engineering

How's the eurodyne software coming along?

If you can find a Coilpack repair harness for the newer DBC 1.8T engines eg AUM/AVG codes(I'll pass you the part number if you want), saves you heaps if you're willing to DIY. I did check with VW(I work at a dealership) but there's none in Australia.

I did everything myself and paid 50bucks for the harness from another member at ozaudi. It's very straight forward. Just 2 grounds, a signal and +12v constant. Heaps of write up on the net too.

I'm not sure with INA due to the lack of an online catalog, 034motorsport sells a plug and play kit. I'm pretty sure Integrated Engineerings has the same stuff. They have fancy plugs which makes the engine bay look tidy and flash:)

Haven't got the time to tweak it to be honest and I'm still running the base file which to my surprise runs pretty well albeit a tad rich all over but not stupid rich to bog it down.

I'm only running 14psi, stock SMIC, stock clutch(hate the DMFW)and a "play" with a friend who's got a B6, FT turbo @ 21psi, FMIC, clutch etc etc ..on higher gears, he said I'm slowly pulling away. Can't imagine if I wind this up to 28psi:)

If you're ever interest to run one, contact rockersteady on ozaudi. He can fix you up and revisions are free(I think).

I have a set of 2.0T coilpack adapters arriving today or tomorrow, however I am pretty sure they are the push down, not screw down type. INA threw an extra set in the box for me. I can get screw downs if you need them, though.

I can also supply a plug and play harness if you need it (definitely don't have one in stock, though).
