I need that extra oomph at my elevation. Would like to SAFELY be at the limit of my DSG, and not at the extreme limit of my rods.
Sorry for threadjack, Hooooooonigan.

Hoon have you considered coatings? I saw that a few of the parts that you're using are coated. I built a Nissan engine once a long time ago and literally had everything friction coated and thermal coated that was possible. I ended up putting 265,000 miles on that car. It was a 99 Maxima that I supercharged. Still ran good but it was getting tired.

Nah man, RS6 Avant for me.
My car is hopefully going in to the shop in the next month or so, same thing. Snow is already flying so I won't be doing the motor myself and I even have a lift, albeit a 4 post.
Compression is down on cyl 4 for me and it is burning some oil. I also toasted the clutches in the transmission so I got a whole new trans (which is cheaper than clutch packs, btw).
Best of luck, keep us updated

Did you get a a3/gti or R/S3 transmission. My other motor will be here tomorrow so I can get it in the car and start tearing down my old one and see how much damage my #1 hasMy car is hopefully going in to the shop in the next month or so, same thing.

had to get an A3 as the R/S3 gearing requires ecu changes for the mph/rpm calculation and I don't have anyone that can do that.
I am switching to a TVS dsg though so I can add 3-4bar of pressure on the clutch packs.

Local guy is trying to become a dealer, would be the only one in Canada.
You guys should get one out on the west coast. TBH after speaking with them and reading the extent they go to to circumvent some factory limits with the mechatronics, I would drive 5-6 hours to get the tune.
