My Mk4 buildup thread...

Nice Neil.

Looking very forward to hearing how it all goes.

How much power are you chasing?

From the research I have done, I'll be happy with 220HP at the wheels wich should be very doable. Anything above and beyond will be a bonus.

Just found this, a Skoda Otavia running the exact setup I will be. I'd love to say I'll get these figures but I doubt it.

[Oneofthegreats]

I was thinking around that.


Roughly 167+kwatw or 300hp at the engine.

I'd be very happy with that, and the delivery of that power should be nice an linear and very drivable. An LSD is the next thing on my shopping list plus some bigger breaks before I hit the track

[Preen59]

That's a fantastic power curve, Neil. Very drivable and would be great for competition or track work, with very good throttle control i'm guessing. Should be great!

[Mischa]

sounds awsome good work

[Fizz]

Wow that's some serious power Neil, will be awesome

Sorry about the crap pic, but this is the Wiechers Sport strut brace fitted:



My phone battery just died before I could sneak a shot in of the rear stress brace fitted so you'll have to be patient to see that and my wheels back on.

[Bubu]

The strut brace looks sweet. Only if it would fit the Polo GTI.

[BL33SU]

sounds like its gonna be a beast neil!!!


wanna race

This golf is going in leaps and bounds Neil, well done! I love that strut brace mate, nice and straight as all strut braces should be to be effective.
Good on you and keep going with the build thread.

Ray - once I get a few other things sorted, the plan is to start doing some track days.

Andrew - thanks for the kind words. She's starting to come together, I can't wait to get the new turbo on and get it tuned now...

[99gti]

Woohoo - my S3 manifold just arrived. Thanks Guy!

Why have you not done your turbo inlet pipe yet?

coming along nicely i see.

Also any reason you did not just installed the S3 strut brace. Over here they are like $100ish dollars.

Hmm, i'm still very intrigued as to how the Cruise control works on the AGU.
I still have not figured it out.

Look closer and you will see and ABD pipe tucked down there. The silver thing with red writing on it.
