Which do I have?
130?

I think the 90 hp TDI at least has a manifold like the one in your picture. I had one with engine code ALH on a Skoda Octavia.

The shaft wont come out with the engine in the car.

That cap does hold it in but its not gonna fall out if you remove the cap to replace the seal and gasket.

What are you talking about "pay for new one"? The seal? $5. maybe.

I just got back from wakefield sperling...

they want over 25$ for one intermediate shaft seal. I said immediately screw that.
That would have made my parts consisting of:
a HG, rod bearings, intermediate shaft seal and timing belt $150.00... :?

Which is rediculous. I'm not paying that.
I'm going to pay 50$ for the head gasket and probably re-use the rod bearings. and the timing belt was 40+ dollars... i remember paying 22$ for my last one which still looks fine... i may just keep using it and get a new one when i have more money.

Where on earth do you guys get parts for so freakin cheap???

I get my stock replacement stuff from:

http://www.importcarpartscanada.ca/index.wws

Shipping's fast and prices are good. Plus they tell you the manufacturer before you order :wink: .

This site asks $53 for what the what the, i thought, "cheap" parts store is asking over $120 for.

but they don't have some items i'd want.
They only have a 2 hole aaz head gasket. I'd want a 1 hole

what is the difference between "web only" price and "list price"

rallydiesel · « **Reply #109 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:23:19 pm »

The web only price is what they charge. The list price is just a marketing thing but it's probably not far off what a dealership would charge.

I used that site

got LOTS of extra stuff and it was still under $120
Gosh Wakefield is gonna be sad when i tell em i got a way way way way better price.

That place in the link is in Alberta!! Half the freakin' tax. That's so awesome. And like 2 days to ship to my house for free. What a score. That site is going to be re-visited im sure.

I had to settle for a 2 notch HG though. They didn't have a 1 notch metal one. The difference is so minute i really don't think it will be a big deal. It will help a little i guess with the added boost.

Edit: im retarded, it's ontario.

Update time. Yay pictures
Drilled and tapped that cock sucker last night!

Plugged my waste gate

Got my guages in

New White dash LED set up

My new lead terminals. I replaced the pre-existing ground with a huge one and moved the old ground to ground to the body. I hope it will crank faster now

My two huge out put V6 Taurus fans. I'm currenty drawing up a template for a shroud and frame for the fans. I'm also going to modify the front end to fit my intercooler aswell.

And last but certainly not least, my ported, gasket matched, ALH intake ready to pwn. Notice the BOV delete

I reccomend this swap for an AAZ head. I had to modify the elbow though. I put a silicone elbow on it that you can swivle for any intercooling possitioning you want. It's totally versitile. I added a lip too for a better seal.

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #112 on:** December 26, 2008, 05:57:04 am »

Finally got the right valves and threw it together!

I made this sort of magnetic V block for drilling the block's steam holes while it's in the car.

Coming along nicely now!
Just need to do exhaust, rad/intercooler mount, fans and plumbing after i get the ring set.

how hard was it to slap that egt gauge in there?

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #114 on:** December 26, 2008, 05:16:47 pm »

Oh, not at all. The bits tend to catch the cast and complain a bit but if you have good quality bits they shouldn't break. Use lots of oil.
I put the mani in a vice and it was easy! The threads for the sender mount is tapered so you just have to choose the right thread pitch and stuff. start small because you can always drill out the next size up.

Smokey, are you talking about cutting a groove in a deep welll socket for getting to the valve keepers. I found that my oxygen sensor socket fit right in the bore and used a plain old $25 valve spring compressor to push it down, and you can get to the keepers easily, couldn't have worked any better'

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #116 on:** December 26, 2008, 10:26:50 pm »

That's refering to a very old post?
I made this out of a bicycle seat post.
I later ground the opening wider.
Combo that with a normal wood working clamp and a table and it works fine with needle nose pliers.

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #117 on:** December 28, 2008, 05:01:24 am »

Are those pictures too big? do they take forever to load?

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #118 on:** January 02, 2009, 03:56:15 pm »

Finally!
Here are the bolts i put on the LDA. I think anyone doing any work on their IDI should change those stupid slotted bolts our for real ones.

You can see the ALH intake, NEW HEAD!

, and continental timing belt here! neat stuff. Finally moving forward.

Still need to add a nipple in the boost side of the turbo closest to the intake for the LDA and gauge to get pressure from.

Here's the cam cover Burn Your Money (Tyler) sent me. It didn't look like this when i recieved it
