where did you get the turbo manifold or how did you make it mate i need to get one sorted for mine i may use the standard one and make an adapter plate to adapt it to my turbo I'm going to be using a KP35 turbo runs upto 1.25 bar of boost so should easily suit my needs

wow what the fuck haha, last time i looked this wasnt even up and running properly as a charger now its got a turbo?!

I was gonna take pictures as I made it but forgot to busy just cracking on and getting it done haha. All I did was cut the flange of a standard 16v manifold then cut the flange of the turbo manifold mated them together and welded them together. Then coz the ports didnt match exactly I used a drill file and filed the flange/manifold ports to match when I take it all of to clean up ill take pics of the ports and stuff. Well happy though 4 hours of cutting and welding and it fits perfect.

That Is so sick!! Its nice to see something that's a bit different to a 1.8t or something like that! What's the predictions for power if you've got any idea? Not sure if this is going to sound stupid but is it a standard gearbox too?

Hoping for around the 200 mark. Nope gearbox is standard. I have a spare in the garage though haha

Would a polo 6n2 gti box be wise? Or better yet convert to hydo clutch and put a lupo gti 6 speed on? Gutted it's going turbo and not supercharged the noise would be ace!!!

exhaust turbo downpipe made. and made up an oil return pipe. heres a few pics of todays work

enjoy plenty more to come

dan

great work! looking forward to this!

Shame you couldnt get the charger working correctly you messed about with the megasquirt for this yet?

what welder did you use to do the manifold mate? i'v never thought of doing it that way before!

Should deffo stick the chargr on aswell maybebin the future

Haha by the looks of that turbo setup there wouldnt be any room to fit a charger as well!

i have to say that is a very good effort at a home made set up i live the screamer pipe :) cant wait to see the finished item :)

some pics of the finished item. i am going to the performance garage on saturday with a big waad of cash so he can order in a nice new dta s40 ecu to manage the whole build then car goes up in 3 weeks to get sorted. as you will see in the last pics i got hold of some old 16v cam pulleys and have mirror polished them as the old ones on the engine now just weren`t clean enough to fit in with everything else haha.
