Performance - Audi A3 (8L) 1.8 T 1996 - 2003

The much loved 1.8T engine has proved itself as being not only being very capable in producing high power figures but in being very reliable at the same time. The key to this reliability is the lubrication system, which can quickly become overwhelmed when cars are driven quickly - or on track - causing oil starvation. Under extreme acceleration, braking or cornering, the oil can momentarily run out of the sump under centrifugal force, causing a temporary starvation through the oil-ways, putting critical bearings and bores at risk of damage.For those with bottomless pockets, a ‘dry sump’ system is the ideal preventative solution. But for those in the real world, our neatly engineered solution, based around a brand new OE-spec sump pan is the perfect alternative. Carefully configured baffles and Viton oil control valves ensure that the lubricant can easily move around the engine, but retains a minimum sump capacity, even under the most severe of ‘g’ forces. The relatively soft Viton plates react far quicker than equivalent metal flaps - which are often used on lesser alternatives - and have been designed to withstand the rigours of the high temperatures of oil and its contaminants.Our 1.8T Baffled Sump (FMBSMP18T) is a truly effective upgrade. An essential item for any race, track or tuned car its makes a sensible investment. It’s certainly cheaper than an engine rebuild! Our baffled sump comes complete with an oil level sensor blanking plate if you do not have a sensor fitted.   Fits Multiple Cars

The Splitter is a truly remarkable valve that gives a combination of blow off and recirculation valve operation, all at the same time, and has been specifically designed for the many turbo engined applications that operate metered airflow management systems. This means you get all the noise of the blow off valve whilst retaining the compatibility with the recirculation requirements of the engine management system. As a bonus we also offer the ability to convert the valve to recirculation only mode for those times when stealth running is required. This valve uses a Brass piston which utilises new sealing technology along with a variable spring preload, incorporating a ratchet type top adjuster that will allow for the positive and precise adjustment to match the valve to your engine. This is achieved by using a unique single, conical, progressive rate spring, that can allow for the retention of boost pressure over a wide adjustment range. This unique spring design also allows for unrestricted piston travel and flow volume regardless of the amount of pre-load adjustment added to the spring. Other manufacturers' valves use cylindrical springs with adjustable pre-load, which often experience restricted piston travel and a reduction in flow volume. When we say our products are Engineered For Performance, it's not a catchy sales phrase, it's the truth. and we prove it with every product we manufacture. Note: This valve requires installing the opposite way to the original Bosch Valve. This means that the side pipe is fitted into the Turbo Intake Hose, and the base pipe connects to the hose that runs to the boost side of the turbo.   In The Box:1 x FMDVSPLTR Valve1 x Valve Blanking Cap1 x Instruction Booklet1 x Forge Sticker If you are unsure if this product is suitable for your application, please contact us.  The valve has a port size of 25mm         To service this valve, access the valve piston by removing the 3 cap screws at the base of the valve and simply clean the piston chamber using brake cleaner or similar cleaning fluid before installing the new spring and piston. Please observe the correct spring and piston orientation when installing the serviceable parts, as seen in the attached drawing.   Adjustment guide. First turn the valve adjustment knob all the way down in the anti-clockwise direction, which will adjust the spring it to its lowest tension. Then turn the valve adjustment knob in the clockwise direction to the appropriate tension level, as set out below. Standard engine – 16 clicks. Stage 1 remap – 21 clicks. Stage 2 remap – 25 clicks. These adjustment recommendations are a general guide and you may find that your engine requires fine tuning by 1 or 2 clicks in either direction to achieve optimum performance. There will be no significant performance benefit adjusting the valve over 30 clicks as the spring will have reached its maximum operating tension.     Please Note: In line with our policy to constantly review, revise, and improve our product range, the appearance of the product you receive may differ from the one advertised.   Fits Multiple Vehicles

This replacement adjustable sideshifter will allow you to shorten the side to side movement of your gear shift in order to obtain the optimum shifting times required for performance driving . You can personally customise the lateral movement to suit your own preference due to an infinitely adjustable pivot mechanism. Click on the 'fitting guide' tab above, for detailed instructions. This unit will fit all VAG 6 speed gear boxes as found in the vehicles listed in the 'compatible vehicles' tab above. (Please note: this does not fit the Skoda Fabia/VW Polo/Seat Ibiza/1.9 diesel applications) Up to and including 2007 models, the original side to side shifting mechanism on these vehicles should be made of metal with the 2008 and onwards models having the original side to side mechanism made of plastic. (on all models the throw or front to back mechanism is made of metal ) We supply within the kit the necessary parts to allow fitment to both types. Please note: To ensure that this product functions correctly and does not stress associated components, it is essential that the linkage cables are re-adjusted after the installation of this product, as per the fitting instructions.   In The Box:1 x FMVWSQS Shifter1 x 8.0mm Pin1 x 10mm Pin1 x Ball Pin1 x 8mm Nut2 x Top Hat Bush1 x Push On Bush2 x Side Clips1 x Bag of Grease1 x Instructions1 x Forge Sticker   Please Note: In line with our policy to constantly review, revise, and improve our product range, the appearance of the product you receive may differ from the one advertised.   FOR MULTIPLE VEHICLES
