Lol I thought you said it took 6 hours to get it into service position. That would be crazy. Props on rebuilding your own head without bein sure of what your doin

 

thanks man!

yea to be honest when i finally had it all back together and done i was scared to even try to start it.. but it started right up first try =]. i was shocked! (great feeling of success) it was a little loud at firstbut i remember
reading somewhere that you have to drive anew built motor/ or head about 10 miles to get the oil ran threw every litte spot and hole, after 5 miles you couldnt even hear it run its so quiet. =] its still super quiet. sometimes when im sitting in my car and i forget if i started and have to look at the RPM'S lolz.
i love it!

 

What cams are they?

 

they are cams and lifters from a 2.0 tsi VW motor.
the tsi's are also 20 valve so i kinda just threw them in hoping they would work and they do... but idk if they made the car any faster??? because i bought it not running so i never got to drive it till after the head rebuild.. but i drove a stock 1.8 a4 quattro like mine and it felt faster =[=[. So im not sure if i need to set basic setting ?? or maybe it is ( i think y'all call it "limp" mode were it limits 5 psi..) idk what it is BUT also on the dissasembly one of the 3 bolts in the turbo broke off in the turbo =[ which means i do have an exhaust leak, but i have another ko3 to put in and a test pipe.. i just have to find the time to do all that.
but i was also wondering maybe because of the different cams it might just need a tune??? idk.. i still dont know A LOT about these cars.

 

i replaced my cams and lifters because the cams and lifters in my motor had EXTREME EXCESSIVE WEAR! (from lots of high RPM driving ) like craking and chips missing on the lobs. and the cams and lifter i put in only had 7k miles on them.
