Some parts from www.turbodynamics.co.uk arrived today. A genuine Garrett dual ball bearing GT3582R with a .82 exhaust housing and a Tial 38mm wastage with a 1 bar spring (all they had). Decided to go with the Genuine turbo since I am doing everything correctly, why skimp out on probably the most important part. I know lots of people do get them to work fine, I decided against it on a daily driven road car. 
 
I'll get the drain, feed and water lines done in the next few days. After that it's just routing some 4" intake piping between my MAF housing and turbo, intercooler pipes and weld up a screamer pipe . Shouldn't be long now!

Thanks, it's been in the planning for a little while. I'm only 21 and a motorsport engineering student so I am trying to do this on a budget but making sure I buy the right stuff so I encounter as little problems as possible. Being able to do all the welding and spannering myself has saved me thousands already!

For torquing the cam chain sprockets, they are torque to 44 ft/lbs (if I remember right) and then 90 degrees, so I made this little paper disk that has 90 degree lines and sits over the bolt head, mark where one of the lines meets the cam sprocket, then tighten the bolt until the next line lines up with your mark.

 
 
I got my turbo drain fitting welded into my sump. I used a -10 AN aluminium weld on fitting, some black hose fittings and some stainless braided teflon line, all purchased through Torques on eBay who have an amazing selection of fittings etc. and great service. 

 
 
I then installed my Siemens 630cc injectors and their pigtail harness adapters, I think I can tuck everything out of the way so that it doesn't interfere with the intake manifold. 

 
 
Then finally I welded in my wideband o2 sensor bungs, making sure that they are directed downwards as to not allow moisture to collect in the sensor causing it to fail. Once my wastage arrives, I'll see how much room I have to fit my sensor for my wideband gauge as close to the turbo as I can. 

Hi guys, not so long ago I brought my new project car, It's a 2002 V6 4motion with the BDE engine that I am currently turbocharging.

I would say 300bhp is unachievable realistically whilst staying NA, you could spend thousands on bigger cams, bigger valves, higher rpm limit and still make less than 270bhp. Get a supercharger kit, it will end up cheaper than extensive NA mods and make more power than you want. Also a high bhp NA will sacrifice a lot of lower end torque and not be very nice to drive

Flow is a more important figure than pressure, 15psi on a big turbo will produce more power than 15psi on a small turbo. FACT

The threads are M18x1.5mm Look on Ebay for "lambda sensor bung" and you will find what you're looking for

I'm just starting a fairly simple build but I have the 24v engine, decompression plate, 550cc injectors, united motorsport ecu chip, sachs paddle clutch and a GT35 turbo. 
 
I looked around and most people like the GT35 turbo

Your problem is 100% caused by that vent to atmosphere BOV, what happens is that the ecu has fuel calculated for that air that you are dumping to atmosphere and not going through your engine so your engine goes pig rich when you stop after a bit of boosting and cuts out. The simple fix is just to get rid of it and run without any type of valve, but what's recommended is get a recirculating blow off valve and plumb the outlet of the BOV into the turbo inlet pipe after the Maf

I would be very interested in a tricked version, I don't want to register my vag-com since it can only be registered one 1 or 2 computers and i'm constantly changing laptops or re-installing operating systems. 
 
So I have downloaded VCDS lite from rosstech and have a cheap cable, I can scan and clear codes and also access some of the measuring blocks, datalog etc. but not everything. 
 
I need the full version to check my timing chain stretch
