Ok, so i just got my 6th DSM, its a 95 AWD TSI, picked it up from Florida... the car is rust free!!

anyways, it has an engine knock, the car had a crushed 1G Bov, i put it on my 98 GST that currently has a 1G non-crushed bov, and all i can hear is the turbo flutter (compressor surge), the bov never opens!, so i took a c-clamp to it, and i got it to open, but it doesnts shut! so im guessing that it was over crushed!

The map sensor is damaged from the sway bar! the car has a 14B turbo, but I dont understand why the wastgate connects right to a nipple on the turbo! no boost controller?

anyways, my friend had a 6Bolt block and a crank and the 3 peice caps! i not sure what their called!

i have 2 - 2g heads, the cam angle sensor is on the drivers side of the head, can i use that with the 6-bolt block, i know i can, but im not sure what im up against!

im not looking for a drag car or anything like that, just a street car, i dont want to dump a whole lot of money in it


i have the engine and the crank and a machine shop, their gonna wash the engine and redo the crank, it over heated and it chewed up a bearing

i dont know if i want to bore the engine or not, or what to bore it to!

i need help!

the wastegate going to the nipple directly is fine.. it will just be connected directly to the pressure source, opening it at ~7 psi...

You can use the 6 bolt.. do some reading on vfaq.com and some searching here in the forums, and you can learn to do this swap.. Its really very straightforward...

If you are using the 2g, with all the 2g electronics, then you should use the CAS from the 2g.. From what I understand, it depends on what year the head is, as well.. Again, this is where some reading comes in to play...

Get another 1g BOV, and crush it right.. (If you wanna do it the inexpensive way.. Which isnt bad) :thumb:
 
DON'T crush the BOV. It's the wrong way to mod it. The reason why the BOV leaks at high boost is because the fast actuation port on the bottom of the BOV allows boost pressure to the bottom side of the diaphragm, which helps to shoot the BOV open quickly. Crushing it is just an old hack method of doing what you should be doing in the first place: blocking off the port.

Tap the hole and loctite in a setscrew. Fill it in with RTV. Whatever. When you're done blocking the port, you can either hook up a fancy solenoid-controlled boost line (so that you can actually switch between fast-acting and high boost) or just do what I do and drill a hole in the side of the port (which, by the way, still allows you to do the solenoid mod down the road).

You can go ahead and try to crush the BOV, but the reason you run into problems like what you're having is because it's the wrong way to solve the problem.
 
I never crushed the bov, i got it that way! came on the awd I picked up!

But I have no idea what you just said!
