You can also change the height at the steering like this. For a better parallelism with the wishbone.

How did you remove the damper insert from the KW tube before you welded new steering arms?
I am considering adjusting mine to dial out bump steer.

There is a nut on top of the damper. It's easy to remove

And i changed the mounting from the stabilizer bar. Don't like the oem on the shock absorber, who is always turn left and right and change the preload from the stabilizer bar.

Some updates. I had to much castor ~12°, so i go little forward with the damper.
also i have some heat problem and i ned a heat protection for the turbo
Next problem i found out that my selfmade air cooler lost air, so i make a new with a cheap net. But it work fine.

First Test Drive wos very good, love the Steering. With the bigger Housing it comes little later, so i have to adjust bit more Timing. But first i have to adjust the Axes and waiting for better Weather.

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?

I dont like the orginal, it is not very stable and indirectly.
I bend the right arm to get my big downpipe in, this wos not the best solution and the bump steer wos also not the best...

Worth it if only to get rid of the huge bump steer the OEM setup has

Crankshaft is balanced with bob weights

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!

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

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?
