Hi all, my name is Pieter.We moved from South Africa to AUS two years ago. Needless to say we are vw fanatics. We are busy with a 1995 Seat Ibiza Gti. We fitted a 2 liter 16v turbo engine and are almost finished with the project. I will post some pictures of what we have completed.

Hi there Gareth. We have rebuild a complete new motor gasflowed the cylinderhead, left the cams and valves standard.made up a new intake manifold, fuel rail and all fuel components upgraded. We had to redo the exhaust manifold, the branch manifold did not fit. Made up the new down pipe and waste gate pipe work. Will be running a after market management system. The car is almost done, would have been finished but the block we had from south africa came from vw motorsport sa, most of the attachments did not line up or their were no threaded holes in the block. I will try and load pictures today.
