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

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 🤪🤪

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 turbo
