20v 1.8T Bora ST All good things come to an end!

Great idea to fit a new belt, much safer.

Glad the engine worked out all ok.

Yeah I figure its better to be safe then sorry!

on another note im thinking of selling my US GLI rears to help pay for the engine

Bad times, but you can always get another set

Not much of an update really but bought a ko3s turbo today from TPS  :shock: the one fitted to the engine I bought is on its way out too according to my mechanic! Also the clutch is in pretty bad shape so now just ordered a G60 flywheel and VR6 clutch kit so I can do the conversion and ditch the DMF ... should have just broke the bloody thing and bought a supra or celica 

Going to put the GLI lights on ebay to help pay towards getting her fixed ... every little counts

You'll feel better about your self once you have fixed it, also if you didn't.. i wouldn't be happy! This is one of maybe 2 boras i actually like otherwise i hate em! 

Glad your keeping it

Cheers mate! means alot

With all that happened and more importantly how broke I now am, I cant afford adaptors for the AMG wheels, put them up on a local forum for swaps and been offered some nice 18'' alloys that are 8.5'' wide, going to look at them on sunday

You didn't fancy a Garret tough as boots, I've done two Ko4's in the past under warentee

Tbh mate I did think about it but couldnt afford one really and after not having the Bora for 5 weeks I just want it back now

Got made redundant last week aswell so this has pretty much wiped my savings out

Fair play mate when mine had gone I was pissed and I still had to fork out part costs even on warantee.
They said you're lucky we are doing it twice for you! I said You should have done it right the first time 
It was a rapid Passat 2.5 did 140MPH no problem, but being diesel the viens just kept closing up. Got rid of it in the end, but I know what its like without the car for months.
I've got a 160PD with Garret goes well and defo better than the Ko4's IMO.
