Nice!

 

[mgpdoc]

Coming along nicely

Engine is 100% installed. Getting more coolant and oil in the morning then starting it



Tiny TD04, added some fancy silicone for the bov hoses

can't believe that tiny little engine is good for 500 ponies.....guess that's a turbo for ya....looks good man, congratulations! I've enjoyed following the build!

Be sure to post a start up video!

 

[eurocars]

Yeah, turbo is good for low 300s, the big pistons from the 9000 engine can hold 500. May throw an HX35 at it and make mid 400s on the cheap (sub $1k)

I'm sure you've said how much power the GTI makes a billion times, (and I've forgotten) but isn't your daily now as powerful/slightly more powerful than the GTI....?

 

[eurocars]

No way, GTI > anything else I own in terms of power. Once the aux fueling is tuned in and I finish re-ringing the engine, I'm hoping to crack 700 whp on the GTI

That's a retarded number. Good luck getting traction with FWD though. Do you have some fat tires on it?

Fuck.....yeah, I definitely missed that. I guess that makes sense.....is that going to be on the eurodyne tuning?

:happyanim: So 4motion is still a thing? I'm glad you decided to keep moving forward with that project. Looking forward to following it!
