Woowoo! I have a feeling your going to have your motor done before me. Excited for ya dude!

Thanks for your enthusiasm!! I'm feeling a little like Eric and Bon qui qui as in it feels like this will never be done. It's been over a year and a half since this car ran and I forgot how it felt driving the car, let alone how it will behave once its 'done.' But as Journey sang.."And the wheel of the modding keeps turning...I don't know where it'll be tomorrow.."

It was interesting to see the TSI Pagparts kit hit 530 whp (still being dialed in), which is over 600 hp crank.

Looking forward to this one. That is going to be an absolute beast.

I'm curious to see the two EFR kits up and running (TurboZentrum and Pagparts) for comparison sake. You both have different engine builds and tuners if I'm not mistaken, but should still be a solid comparison. We all have some monsters coming together lol.

Yeah, us EFR fan kids will most likely all move towards AWD builds once we realize we can't get any traction while your K03 smokes us!

Lol, well the K03 will only be on for maybe one more season. Getting the GT2871R rebuilt soon, then just have to finish the motor and bye bye K03.
