As said above but some people say different things
-
AUM AUM AUM AUM
-
Some.people say Agu? As that is wat I have
-
agu and aum both have pros and cons..
AUM- has a better turbo fitted as standard that can be tuned to more than the k03.. k03 peaks at 197bhp and k03s can do 230-240bhp.. AUM has sh!te coil packs but other than that solid as a rock..
AGU- is prehistoric and so is the engineering <-- it hardly does wrong but has smaller turbo.. and sh!tty ignition amps which can fail and are expensive to replace..
I had a AUM and only got through one coil pack at £32.. stage 1 map running 221bhp and 230ft/lbs of torque :smiley: :smiley:
was fun but juicey with my dodgey right foot..
-
what age is your car ??
-
Mine is on a late 2000 plate. Always wanted to get a bigger turbo. Is Agu good?
-
they are both good.. agu has a sh!t turbo fitted standard.. most people change to a k03s.. can be bought for £250
not sure on what engine you will have.. might be ARZ..
look at bottom left of the engine from the top it should be stamped.. or on sticker right handside of engine bay or spare tyre well..
-
From the threads on here I have mixed views but believe the AUM is the better choice.
-
BAM FTW !! :laugh:
-
I looked this morning and its an agu. I wil have to invest in a ko3s in a couple months as wana by little bits first. Like the boost gauge and ontercooler
-
standard intercooler is fine for up to stage 2 !!
get the k03s and a remap and you will be smiling all day long !!
-
Wel the previous owner said he had of remappd so all good :wink:
-
he might have put k03s on it already then ??
k03s has 8blades and k03 has 12 i tihnk.. just pull tip off and count the blades..
-
How easy is it to get to it tho as it looks like an ass to get to
-
Or just get a camera and try and get a picture of the blue tag.
-
Both are sh!t
ASZ / ARL is where its at

you couldnt be more wrong....... ARZ FTW!!!! (if i keep believing it i think its true) :tongue:

Evolutionary progression actually. Nothing wrong with a 2 seater 300bhp V6 RWD is there.
-
AGU & AUM both have there plus points and negative points. The ideal engine would be a mixture of parts from the engines plus other bits from a BAM engine

Nope nothing wrong with it all apart from it drinks more than Oliver Reed :grin:

such as....
-
AGU block.. BAM head.. K04 Turbo..
-
why is the BAM head better?
-
Will a BAM head fit my AGU straigh on?
-
From what ive read the BAM engine head is stronger.. it has VVT which is better than non VVT AGU... It can have the BAM manifold and k04 straight fitted..
-
thought agu head was best due to larger ports or some pi$h
-
Right read more and have come to a conclusion...
forget what i last said..
BAM bottom end - Lower comp forged pistons.. and a stronger block..
AGU head - Larger ports because of lack of VVT
-
All this talk of AGU heads, i think we should all try and find one for sale and post a link :grin:
-

:kiss:
-
AGU bottom end is stronger than BAM, only reason BAM has an alright safety margin is as said above, it has a lower compression than the AGU, AUM etc. AGU head is preferred for big turbo conversion over other heads because it's large port which means it should flow better, the VVT stands for nothing unless you want to keep the emissions down which was what it's designed to do - it has no real performance gains except for those who plan to get the VVT attack software which is questionable. There's also no reason why you couldn't run the big port AGU head and swap over AUM or BAM cams and cam chain tensioner over and still have VVT either.
It depends what you mean by which is better, if your going for ~300 bhp BAM, AGU and the weaker AUM bottom end will get you there but obviously the AGU providing bit more reliability. But after that your going to be changing the internals anyway. The only advantage with the BAM is that it's already got the ko4-02x turbo fitted so would be able to make 260-270 which is more than what the k03/s will give, but if your set on 300 then that stands for little too as your either going to have to go for a hybrid or a big turbo in which case changing the internals on would be suggested whatever block your running.

How much are amps? did i say ive never changed mine? :laugh:
-
£180 aint they ??
and yes a few times.. god i wish that thing would blow !!

That's cos you hardly drive it :tongue:
Fairly sure Wes priced one up recently and it was north or £150........

Going from a 190bhp Golf to a 0.9bhp Polo............ I rest my case :laugh: :laugh:
Now if you're thinking of getting one for the missus then I can understand but if its for yourself then anything less than 170bhp is a waste of time :grin: :grin:
Yeah i know :sad: Will have to lose the poke in my next car got to start thinking about the future tbh
Future's fcuked anyway!! Life's too short!!
There's rumours of a 200bhp+ MK6.7575 derv :shocked: :evil:

the future has no power ~??

Need cheap Tax, insurance(no mods), good MPG - want to buy a house
I dont need the power really - would be nice but hay ho :smiley:

£180 of your finest pounds for a genuine item. I declined
£60 for a non genuine amp, running sweet as a nut :nerd:

£155 a year tex for my Audi, £400ish for insurance and 500+ miles (ish) to a tank.
And its quicker point to point than my Golf :wink:
That's cheap and FUN motoring :afro:
I remember I bought the Golf BEFORE we bought our first house :laugh: :laugh:

How much for the car though + i want £150 - £200 for insurance
As long as it gets me around thats all i need :smiley:

Maybe a stupid question but are all 1.8T ........20 valves?
-
Maybe a stupid question but are all 1.8T ........20 valves?
Yes they are :smiley: plus they also did a 1.8 20v non turbo

Cheers wayne as always lol there should be a search engine www.wayne.com :grin:

aye and there pish lol

ok, take this thread off topic again, my k03s for sale, 200 quid! bargain, i'll be making a thread in the clasifieds later today.
back on topic, AGU :cool:

1.8 20v non turbo is a much better bet than the 2.0.

200 quid thats good :). Didnt no my thread could make it to 9 pages ha!

need the money for tyres, mot end of march, so cant really afford to have it now :cry:
