Tsi engine thoughts - EDIT 2.0 TFSI advice

[pobmk4]

At those miles it shouldn't need the follower, but for peace of mind and about £30 for the part it's worth doing.

I prefer the tfsi to the tsi, and the tuneability of these are impressive!

GT35 and a full Milltek exhaust paired with a few other bits will see over 400bhp.

Any preference on the colour of the turbo before I order it here...?

What are the signs of a cam follower going? Friend has a 2.0 NA Leon with a tick/knock coming from that area, sound like that problem? Does it give the same issues on the NA?

Yes unfortunately, I had to put a cam in one as it wore the follower that bad that the end of the hpfp damaged it!

OK cool, good to know. Will get it sorted in that case, thanks for the help.

They're a very noisy engine naturally, injectors are very loud.

Taking the pump off and feeling the inside of the bucket is the best diagnosis. If it starts to throw codes is a bit late already tbh

A GT30, RS4 injectors, forged pistons and rods and a few small parts like a pressure reg will see well over 400 tbh. I should have my vrs the good side of that shortly.

As much as it pains me to say it, having owned one the tfsi is a great engine. A few bolt ons, good fuel and a remap sees over 350hp, which is an outrageous increase on an unopened engine!

It hasn't started to throw codes yet. It has had a bit of work done recently though including 3 new injectors and it came back noisier, now that you say the injectors are very noisy I am wondering if thats why it is noisier. Will be something to have a look at, thanks for the info.

Just bumping this up. Would like missus eos checked over for the usual tfsi areas along with service. Any recommendations?
