This car Is going to amazing once it's done, twin turbo would be hard work and also trying to find the space in there but remember nothing is impossible. Would be pretty unique as well. I am setting my own shop up soon so finally have enough space to store my s3 and work on it when ever I want, going to get the mk4 r32 engine , either turbo or supercharge it depending on kit price. The cruise scene around glasgow is lots of evos, or slammed German cars all similar style. Be so good to pull up in a car like that we're no one has ever really seen it been done. Looking forward to your build thread mate.
engine swap.... 3.2v6 into the a3 / s3?

Hi all been away for a bit but the conversion is actually in progress at the moment, the 1.8t lump has left the bay to give the v6 some room , i have taken some pictures as im going and should upload some soon, im just doing the research i need to get little bits i need for the 24v lump as when it came out of its donor the guys cut of some pipes and lost some bolts and stuff, set back but nothing major.
I do need some help with a few issues, my exhaust is now custom with a single 3" downpipe and high flow cat and 2.5" pipes to the rear box, i would like to use that but the loom for the vr ive got has terminals for 4 lambdas (2 pre-cats and 2 post-cats) ... ive been told i can map them out but would i still have to have all 4 plugged in or can i just use the 2 ive got and blank the other 2 plugs.. any ideas??
