Ok boys...
Some of of you saw the Mk2 GTI 1.8t here and had a ton of fun with it. But after wrecking it at Road Atlanta last year. I decided to make the switch to a Quattro power plant. Main purpose is to run Global time attack, Gridlife TT and other Time Trails events in 2017. Lets Go!!!!!

Here's is link to build thread and video of wreck in case anyone wants to see it:

Fast FWD a few months and time to start fitting turbo kit from mk2



First thing is to modify the manifold

Update yall .
Fitting mk2 turbo kit. First thing was to modify the manifold :









Next was test fitting to start building exhaust









Next was repositioning the WG






I also removed AC and extra pulley I didn't need . Hopefully it'll free up some ponies




Stared building temporary bracket for the intercooler /oil cooler and got started on the plumbing





Next was upgrading the Old hX27w to a He221w with a bigger billet compressor wheel




As you can tell the old 27 was pretty beat up from hard track use . Can't believe it still pulled as well as it did . But on the first start , it finally blew the seals




Vs the new he221 . I had the compressor housing machined to except to larger compressor wheel





Reflect a gold tape for cooling



Some parts




Ev14 630s






And some really really exciting parts that I was able to source out for fairly inexpensive compared to the original price.



18z




Stasis Ohlins Motorsports Coils . Fully adjustable , external reservoirs (These things run 6 grand new ) Spring Rates are 600/1200 lbs






Thanks to my boy "Jonathan" from this forum POWERFLEX USA is sponsoring the car !!!
Man... I Am stocked to represent such a company. Look all the goodies they sent me. Amazing quality. All race grade with tons of testing and development engineering behind it. Can't wait to test these things in a short few weeks :cool::thumbup::thumbup:





Also extremely stoked for this relationship I'm building with :


MALONE TUNING has my back on the tunning . Man I love those guys . Awesome tunes , awesome costumer services, super friendly guys and top quality tunes . Be sure to call them for you next tune .


Base tune complete !!!! Car fired right up ! Malone tune FTW !!







Got a set of Used TSW Nurburgring ROTARY FORGED wheels . Got them for cheap wasn't too concerned about the looks. But instead ,strong an light wheels that could be tracked.





Hood duck cut but still lots to be done .





Time to start building Some Aero and brake ducks
