After reading through a few build threads I've come to realize I may have gotten in a bit deeper then I initially intended.
The head gasket blew on my 2001 amk s3 so I took the head of and found a crack across the exhaust valves on cyl 4 and a crack on the exhaust manifold. After debating whether to keep the car or not and flicking through a few dub mags I found a company that offered rebuild my engine with pistons, con rods, cams and all as well as sorting the head. I also wanted a stage 1 map so I went for it, had the car towed to amd they sent the engine off and set about a few extras while the engine was being built. AP coillies, induction kit, hoses, dv and some other little bits. I then got a phone call and was told that the turbo had cracked
I thought for the price difference and with future plans in mind I went for the hybrid option. amd's advised me that it would be fine considering I still have the standard intercoolers, down pipe, an oem exhaust manifold, standard injectors, and standard size brakes.
Is there anything that I should also get done asap as i dont want ruin the work, money, time going into a car I really have become stuck on.
and breathe
