For those who allready performed this mod, how important are the optional parts? Some can be reused I assume?

I can only speak for the gasket (2GTT0) and confirm it’s a must to replace every time you remove it. Otherwise it will leak with time (attaching photo from smoke test)

Thanks

It seems like the heatshields are also different. Guess we need those too?

 

[jeroenvde]

Updated with heatshields, nuts, washers, gaskets. Guess its complete now.

Now we need some work instructions. We need a lift? Subframe needs to be removed?

Can anyone tell me if the HPFP needs to be upgrades too?

Depends on the numbers you want to achieve: below 380 PS, no. Above 380 PS, yes.

I think I know the answer but when I had mine done the company used the original oil feed and return hoses.
can i confirm if this is ok or should i be replacing the oil feed hose with the part number from a FL manual as the part number is different?

Best is to use the FL oil feed line since it has an extra bracket that bolts onto the FL turbo.
But you can use the PFL oil feed, it fits 100%, just without an extra bracket.
