4-1 tubular with what may possobly look like a turbo on the end of it.

get that then you can get fussy about the downpipe,  its not like most 20vt conversions use 225 motors anyway

The molegrips add 10% across the rev range too

£10 says Danny and I could convert my Corrado to 1.8T for under a grand, easy.

But then, we're not mincers.

yup,  i fancy a trip to the nurburg

Slick I hear you.

The original standard turbo manifold is the weak link on the 1.8t especially the AMK / BAM high output units. They crack easy as my mate Who did my interior has done (MJ) he is getting a better item shipped over from the states and it's on my shopping list too. Flow is not the best on standard either

But it's important not to magnify the issue by fitting a restrictive or smaller Downpipe and exhaust than what the donor car had, hence why I said in my original post a Downpipe and full exhaust will be needed (at least 2.5" from turbo back and good quality parts as you said yourself hence jetex for the exhaust and trqckslag who made my custom Downpipe)
Any less size bore than this is below what the manufacturer designed for the engines and if that was ok why didn't they fit smaller bore from the factory. I mean it's not like they don't spend ££££ developing their systems is it ?

It's laughable what Damon spouts, i thought Danny had done a 1.8t for £500 ?? go away and stick to your ABF conversions as you are out of your league here

You have no idea, do you?

I'm sure I could pay someone to put a 1.8T in a boat, just like you did.

I could even use internet nolidge to select the best bits, as well.

I'm confident I could do a perfectly serviceable conversion, either 1.8T or an ABF turbo.  Hell I've even put an Audi 2.2T into a VW Transporter.

It's not rocket science, I heard even a dimwitted DJ could do it.

actually its you that knows f**k all, i didnt pay nobody to put the engine in, me and ben did the converison on my drive, and at the same time we put the 8v bits on the ABF car to keep that on the road.. so thats 2 cars in the space of 2 weeks

3 days to get the S3 lump mounted in my bay and running

done to a standard better/as good as any car with a 1.8T yet

im sure you could do it.... so could many others, im not doubting your ability or anyones, but to what standard ?  and certainly not for 500 quid or even a grand.. saying stuff like this is just plain bonkers.. made yourself look a fool saying that too
