So engine going back.... Well i've got options, but money is problem. I originally tried to find a 32 lump for decent money, there was nothing around 1k area, then last night there was one, in went in 15 mins, great. I bought a cheap agu engine recently just because it was cheap, so i could clean that up, upgrade bits and bolt it back in.... Seems the likely thing at the moment, ive just ordered INA Hi flow manifold for the 1.8t, i've got my K03s and everything still, also got some high lift cams and injectors so i might bang it all back in, straight swap and go to r-tech for a map tweak.

Quite annoying - The metal waterpipe running the length of the engine was found to be cracked/pissing coolant on start up, so just wasted £14 in coolant and now have to remove/refit another. Annoying !
Removed the aston martin brakes, i thought they were big....Now Porsche BIG reds ! Mahoooosive, only about a mm to spare before catching wheels.
Got some lines off Daveb to match them:

Well lots of updates, Some not so good but hey ho im still Vag'ing.
The FWD Golf is going, Needed to raise finances so all my 1.8T running gear is going, i decided on a V6 lump meanwhile.
And ive ended up taking a full 4motion V6. So got that coming,its in black magic, 5DR still, kinda hoped it be 3 door but nevermind, all my stuff will swap over, Rest will be sold.
So 4WD is a massive plus, Long term plans are to raise more money and supercharge it, So no more turbo's.
I'm still building my 1.8T engine and putting it on sale so carrying on:
Block honed and skimmed:
