    Be interesting to know. And wonder if it would be cheaper to do the mods, prior to any issues taking place
    I've done pretty much everything myself, except the engine internals which of I owe a lot to Jykke.
    Jykke rebuilt my engine in couple of days including modifications, he knows his stuff so he is quick

    I flash ECU myself whenever I want, have the etuners tools. Anyone else interested in their software, PM me for details.
    Regarding costs, I would estimate in total (including oils, tools, parts, labour) we are somewhere around 3k.

    I was lucky with my failure as it did only damaged the piston itself, cylinder walls were as good as new. I can't imagine owning a THP (at least a Racing or tuned 15x) anymore without forged internals, the stock Mahle's are made out of paper. Regarding other mods, IC upgrade drops intake temps by 100%, can't hurt? OCC and PCV block are controversy topics and I am not going to start a war here, some people prefer them, some don't. Powerflex mount directs more engine vibration into cabin, didn't notice anything else, matter of taste. Forge spacer is just a nice-to-have, except if you rise boost (max 1.6 bar) as I did (should save turbo).

    You don't have pump E85 there, but it burns cleaner, sustains pressure better and is cheaper.

    Mudflaps are nice, they reduce the amount of stones hitting doors and sides.

              It was a set of Wössner pistons and ZRP con rods. I think they were around 1200 euros.
              Dunno, have not been on dyno. But ballpark estimate is around 240

                      I will get on a dyno if someone is willing to do it for a reasonable price. +100 euros for a single run is way too much...

                            Long time no seen.

                            I will start testing on launch control as soon as I get the new software
