new fuel system got a 1.8t fuel pump a hi flow fuel filter braded fuel lines and fuel pressure gauge. think this lot will go nicely with the 1.8T audi tt injectors and adjustable 5 bar fuel regulator :)

Ok i have a few questions and a few observations if you dont mind, and im not trying to be critical because im being difficult, but more because id like to see someone actually succeed!

Sport cams - why? the duration doesn't really match the application of a turbo car, the cam comes in higher up the rev range, you would have been better off with the originals IMHO.

Fuel pump - A standard GTI fuel pump provides up to 5 bar of pressure and will flow @4 bar using 480cc injectors with 80% duty. i doubt you will need bigger than that! and the TT injectors wont fit your fuel rail unless you space it due to there extended length IIRC.

What sealant did you use between the decomp plate and the rocker cover? please tell me you didnt use a second head gasket!

Turbo - where have you seen a turbo car with it sitting at an angle? You will get oil starvation towards the front of the turbo, or more importantly oil blowing past the rear seal, and you will get a rather smokey engine as oil pressure increases.

What engine management are you using?

Stage 2 race clutch?..... are you making this up as you go along? No reputable "race" drivetrain component manufacturer would ever put a sticky label on the friction material It would just contaminate it. - It looks like an eBay special.

Below is a picture of a lupo fast road clutch made by helix autosport. Do you notice the difference?
