Just thought id introduce everyone to my new toy. I bought it cheap, bone stock, with a stripped timing belt and alot of bent valves. I parted out my old mk4 gti and put the engine/turbo setup into the TT. Ive had the car on the road for about 2 months now and besides a few worn bushes and ripped cv boots, it's been a rock solid car

nice work Lito, in for more updates and pics...
Been a while since I’ve updated this thread. Car is still going, blew the turbo at the track and have since installed a mambatek gtx2871r with a 40mm wastegate welded to the exhaust housing. Also running flex fuel setup and my fx400 has just started slipping. Pics for clicks 🤪🤪

go to see you're still improving things mate; bet there is not much you don't know about these engines now...
take it easy and keep the updates coming...
Haha cheers bro, yeah these engines are become very familiar to me haha. The more I learn about them, the more I love them. I have some big plans for this car, eventually it’ll have an extra cylinder and a way bigger turboQuote:
