proper love this
haha thanks big ray hopefully it will be alive in the flesh seen and will be hitting up the first show in telford @ ultimate dubs
proper love this
Great thread here!! So much work and I salute you for your epic effort!!
Loving the project ..... are there some strategic dents in the bulkhead coming or redesigning the mounts?
I love this project and reading about it. So unique! Good skills
My vote is for gloss black as is. The rear bumper will get a covering of matte after every drive anyway right
thanks s3dave their has been a mention of strategic dents or cutting the bulk head and re-welding it back abit, but I've gone with getting the manifold re-worked so i can stay away from cutting the bulk head for along as possible, if it comes to that we will see what happens lol
Keep it gloss black.
Matt black isn't a sleeper at all, because it'll stand out so much because it's unusual, even if it isn't shiney.
Looks dead smart as it is I reckon, black car, black cage, with the nice alloy TT bits inside.
Going to be very cool
=<tuffty/>;2021370]I assume you will be heatshielding the crap out of it too? even with clearence there are a lot of pipes etc in very close proximity to the hotside and where the DP will be... especially the clutch MC... they melt rather well being plastic...

Looking good but not sure about the charge cooler idea, I get the fact that the charge cooler gives you a shorter inlet tract and less volume so should improve spool and reduce boost losses but I would question how effective it will be at actually cooling the air and whether the actual complexity and extra weight is worth it.
Karl.
So are you having a fan running on the cooling rad for the charge cooler. What kind of pump will you be using and is the diameter of the cooling pipes large enough.
I would also try and avoid too many 90 degree fittings as they pose a big flow restriction to coolant flow.
Also remember 1L of water weighs 1Kg , and I know you are supposed to use straight water in these as it has the best specific heat capacity but it won't be much good if it freezes. So think about that when the winter comes around you will need to put some kind of anti freeze / coolant in or you will end up with a big problem.
Karl.
This is awesome. So much love for this.
Apart from possibly the pink wheels, but I think you ride a BMX, so that explains the questionable choices
Amazing!! I'm guessing it's still quattro? Couldn't see the driveshaft under the exhaust on my phone
Just read this from the start of the thread - this project rules!
was hoping people would like the read, just got slatted to death on the TT forum for it so i removed it from their.
Shame about this, although I'm on that forum quite regularly and didn't come across your thread. Still loving this project though! Great work mate!
People hate things like this as it's different from the norm. It's a fantastic project, looks great and at the same time you get to learn a hell of a lot from doing it. Well done for taking it on
So much time for this build, even more time now I've just read it's going to be your daily... LEGEND!
Although I was a tad confused when I skipped form page 1 to 3 and it had turned into a TT
I've got so much time for this too!
I think diesel tuning could be the future. how does it compare cost wise to petrol BT build? For a build of this sort of extent and power goal?
Now you have changed your profile picture, I know who you are. Haha!
I think diesel tuning could be the future. goal?
I also love this build, because it's a bit different, and will be ultra cool, but tdi's being the future? no. not a chance.
