yeah mate for sure, im keen to have a look at your a3 as well. im pretty much free the entire long weekend if you wanna catch up?

[Lito]

Well ordered some more bits for the engine, timing belt kit, waterpump, gaskets etc. Also found a german company making this top mount manifold...




To replace this


turbo should end up in roughly the same spot, will just need to clock the compressor housing a bit. Any one have tips on this? Is it as simple as unbolting the housing, repositioning it then bolting it back up?

Looks epic! Nice progress.

What sort of power are you looking to make at the engine, and at the wheels?

About the 3rd post down. T28 conversion.
Relentless is working on a t25 manifold.
He is testing one at the moment.

does look nice i only see bottom mounts though.
looks like it'd be a pain in the ass to fit though!

Apparently easy to fit with the head off.
It is a bottom mount.
K04 version isn't too expensive either.
Not sure what he will charge for the T25 version but apparently its only a flange difference.

Epic! I'll have to come round with the XR5 to check it out once it's finished and sorted, the XR5 will give it a run for its money still

[Lito]

just got a tracking number for the manifold. its in Australia!... i think, my German is a bit rusty
