Journal bearing vs ball bearing
Yeah; but it’s very strange for me, why EFR provide this large one while it’s ball bearing!
It leads to white smoke with the OEM one while everyone I know -at least here in my country- replace it by smaller one 1.0mm to 0.7mm then car runs very good and white smoke disappears.
I read horrible stories about the RS4 injectors, while most of BT running it too! I think it is all related to the right coding for it.

I've seen this before, not on a cam gear but other miscellaneous parts with a keyway. Either not installed correctly or defective keyway (microcracks)
That could have been bad!

What the hell was the front of the gear rubbing against????
I’ve had mine for a few years and it still looks new

CRAZY Thoughts
I am thinking to do a CRAZY thing.
As you know I bought the Golf R AWD system and I am planning to install it this month (hopefully), I am thinking why I can't use the benefits of the AWD to go for more power!
What about having GTX3076R Gen2 or GTX3576R Gen2!

I read an articles about how the GTX3076R specs is mis-matches! I am thinking to go for PagParts kit with GTX3576R Gen2 V-Band, 0.83 AR, V-Band Ni-Resist.
I know that the fueling is the big concern but what about going for dynodrome fueling parts.
Stage 2 tfsi injectors (700 + hp)

All thoughts are most welcome.

Okay, just new update, the engine is broken!
Car was working perfectly till 3 weeks ago, then the oil consumption become strange, the engine lost one litter up sudden then I add it!
Last week I was going the data logging on 4th gear and during the first log I found a huge black smoke from the exhaust in the back of the car and heard a strange sound in the engine and the car stopped after 300m and that’s it!
As you can see from the pics, the piston in second cylinder is missing! And the block itself is scratched. Moreover the valves are not okay too!
I will check and inspect the turbo to make sure nothing happened to it too!
Honestly I didn’t expect that the engine is damaged because everything inside it is new and forged!!
I don’t know what I will do now because my brain is out of service for the time being.
