I'd go elsewhere.

You ABSOLUTELY need a 50% bob weight to balance the crank.

Hi,

I also buildt up a 2.5l with 95.5 crankshaft.
I let my crankhaft balance by a specialist in Laakirchen, Upper Austria and he also said, that you dont have to use bob weights.
First he thought, that I need bob weights, but than he tried it without the weights on low rpm and he said it is perfect.

I know them, but the balance to 0 what is wrong. Also the damper and oem flywheel have every 25g unbalance.

He did it with damper, flywheel and clutchplate.
I think, when you do it with all that things, it has to be right.

This should help...

Oem 2,2 crank is balance front and back to ~0
Oem 2.5 crank is balance front and back to ~60g.
Is i think i have to look whats the bob weight fron tdi, than the bobweight from my new piston and drill the different from each counterweight of the crank. Than balance it with my bob weight to 0.

Some updates.
Looking for a other steering rack, because I don't like how the oem work.
Also wait to get the oil pump gears from milling.

Get my new ex housing 1.45[emoji4] and it look big[emoji41]

Nice idea with the steering rack. I was looking at something similar with MK4 R32 rack but lots of cutting involved! Diid you measure the bump steer yet?

[hammer]

From highest to lowest point 2mm.
My problem wos that i saw to late that the Galaxy steering work in wrong side[emoji85]. So i fix it 3cm backwards and go back with the arms.
This wos the first position for rhd ideal

The bottom bearings only have the mass forces from the piston.
The polishing is not really wear. Wear looks different.
Anyways - you need bob weights. Every time when your crankshaft is not mirror symmetrical you need them.
I4 engines often don't need them (in standard design never). All other need them. I5,V6,V8 (cross plan, flat plan same like I4).

Power at same level means turbo can deliver enough air. Look for the restrictive part. Head work, manifold etc.
Leakages at your inter cooler. Measure the pressure drop!

Crankshaft is balanced with bob weights

Finish the steering

why this steering modification?
to make more room for the downpipe?
or to run less revs with the steering wheel because of the shorter arms on the struts?
