Comments:-

Picked this up as an unfinished project, enjoy the progress.

Pics that sold it to me:-







Day one:
despite the potential onset of rain, i ploughed on with the car! now got the G40 ecu, G40 engine loom and Mk3 Engine loom re-wrapped and fitted, with oem holes through the bulkhead. Throttle cable fitted, exhausts all fitted (but badly needs a new tailpipe - dtm upswept ftl!) Intercooler is mounted and radiator trial fitted. Sound deadening stripped from the interior and mk3 in-tank fuel pump fitted

So that leaves me with a few jobs left when I get back after the weekend. Fit fuel pump, lines and loom, block off BRV, fit dump-valve, plumb turbo oil lines, fit intercooler pipes, fit rad and plumb in, bleed brakes, mount boost guage, brap and mot!

oh and holesaw vents for intercooler in front-panel.

no piccies unfortunatly bar this one, from when it arrived in the morning, as me phone b82res is dead!

Me likey

[dub-disaster]

I love it ! I think it looks great I think mk 2's have the edge when it come to looks over a mk3 abd this one is especialy nice. What turbo and what manifold are you using looks like a philj jobie any good ?? Also where'd you get your down pipe from ??

[grungeisdead]

Yeah the sharp edges give it that old skool feel, i adore mk1 and mk2 shapes, along with mk1 golfs!

not sure on the turbo and manifold mate, i'll check for markings and get back to you on that, i didnt purchase them so its wherever Kev got them from.

Will grab more details off the turbo too, just know its a Garrett atm!

[willsalter1000]

looks like a t25 off a saab, could confirm this if you get some closer pics of the housings

[grungeisdead]

there ya go will

[willsalter1000]

ye, its a t25 and im 99% sure that its off a saab. if the downpipe fitting has 3 bolts it definately is a saab unit, going by the number on the compressor housing  it should suit the engine well, virtually the same turbo to what ill be running

[grungeisdead]

saweet! will be jumping on this later this weekend, so will get lots of pic updates

[Winston]

You sir are a whore!!!!

MOAR pics please!!!!!!

[grungeisdead]

Haha that I am Winst!

Got no more pics yet really but should be gettin it up to the unit this week to crack on with it now that the peril n mk3 are on the road

[vwmk3jon]

is it the pic saf or is there reallly sod all room for the boost pipe off the turbo?

[grungeisdead]

theres plenty of room, but it'll have too many bends to meet the intercooler as it has side mounted take-offs!

will have a play with a load of ally off cuts we've got

[vwmk3jon]

so will mine being a forge intercooler. busy trying to get all my pipes to meet up!

[grungeisdead]

looking at your boost pipe, id have to cut that too, not too bothered about that but dont wanna spend big moooooooolar!

how much ya thinking treacle?

[vwmk3jon]

seeing as its you (and you seem to be whoring all my spare parts! lol) £40.
