Build story
This car started with a stock 1.8t A4 that had been rebuilt after a colission with a tree on the passanger side.\r
First I bought a upgrade turbo that should have been bolt on but came to find out I needed another manifold. Got a cheep stainless manifold and made a custom flange to fit the turbo. That manifold held a couple of months before it cracked. Then built a log manifold in stainless that also cracked. After a couple of repairs I got tired of fixing it an everything snowballed! Built engine and bought a proper manifold and big turbo and everything else to run a standalone ECU. Ran that about two years before I blew the engine two years ago. The oil pump pressure release valve broke in two and engine got a bit of damage. Took a year before I got the engine out of the car and found out the problem. Now after the car has stood in the garage almost two years the engine is at the shop for a rebuild and will be done properly! \r
There's been a lot of wrenching in the parking lot and when I finally rented a garage the car just stood there... Now finally I hope the car will run this summer! Made about 350whp at dyno 4 years ago but made a lot of mods after that! Stock engine is 150bhp.
