CLARIFICATIONS!! READ THIS AFTER WATCHING! First off thanks for watching guys! With something like this its easy to overgeneralize, forget something, or get details wrong. 1. First part of the video about 06A vs 058 being large/small port with 19/20mm pins was a massive over-generalization. Link below for actual facts on the 43 different engine codes for the 1.8T. Please do your research on what your engine is. www.bar-tek-tuning.com/1.8t-engine-codes 2. The crank gear needs to be dealt with at these power levels. Best option is a billet crank gear ($200)that is press fit on. Dowel Pinning is another but it has been known to fail. 3. ?? Please comment and let me know what I missed! Lets keep this up to date!! Thanks guys!

I heard that the 1.8T is a very strong engine for tuning from the factory, but I never really realized how over-engineered it is. It's bonkers and makes me respect my 1.8T so much more.

Slap bolt ons and a unitronic tune and it’ll be a really fun car! The 1.8t builds power good and they sound nice .

Turbo wasn’t mad either (f21 kit) held 22 psi the whole way😂😂

Very good introduction to 1.8t life. I like that you compared all the different options etc.

Calm, collected and well thought out thank you

ive got one of these but have no plans on doing any of this. Point being youve got yourself a sub due to the amazing presentation, i wish this info was as well explained for other platforms/ when i was just starting out!

Wiseco also has Boostline rods available for the 1.8t rated for 1000hp

Me too . I'm not a vag guy historically I'm a Honda guy .But a civic type R is £5000 . TT is £1000. It's already boosted and 4x4 . Yes it's no where near as good as a k series . But the entire package as base point it's a no brainer really . Making a civic 4wd is a massive task and over 300 hp fwd is not really the one unless you just want a drag car . But I'm all about grip cars and corners. I'm just looking for a budget build b road blaster and the maths says get a tt . I do want over 300hp though which means rods at least to be reliable long term . K it's like just add boost and go all the way up to 600. But I think over all having to open the engine might be worth it for all the other work I won't have to do elsewhere.

I just got a MK4 1.8t. I’m so excited about tuning it . Going to start from foundation

I would LOVE to hear the details on your motor and the trials and tribulations you've had and will have in the figure on it. Thank you!

Great video!! I am in the process of a similar build using a 06A block with a AEB head and lots of other goodies. I think the video is very informative but a press for crank gear is a must, also using ekagrip diamond shims and arp bolts throughout is a must also ARP bolts for the mains is a good idea. Adjustable cam gear is a good idea as well as swapping AMB cam chain tensioner and trigger wheel to use in a AEB head will help with boost and NA cams with some overlap will help as well. Lots of NA 1.8 cams available out there ADR has 2 different versions. ADR are known to have the most lift. I personally got APT cams as I couldn’t find ADRs with the lift I wanted. Ceramic coated AEB pistons will do the job.

Love the video bro.

Porting the head will help with turbo lag, torque band, lower cylinder pressure/temperature, and overall power gain from every additional component that improves the air flow. When done right on a big turbo big cam build, it is really easy to get 40hp or more out of porting the head properly, and you will gain a lot more drivability too. It is one of the few upgrades that makes the build better in every way with no sacrifices/compromises. Must do in my opinion

Picking this engine simply for the sheer abundance. The 2.2 will always be the wet dream but.. It's so much more rare. Plus one more cylinder means one extra rod, rings, lifters, valves, springs, nuts and bolts etc. I generally learn by failing and I'd rather on a 1.8 :D
