A long time coming, Rob's 4motion turbo build!

Maybe post in the Cars For Sale or Wanted to Buy section and see if you get any interest?

Yeh I'll probably do that this weekend. Again It's not a definite, just not sure what I want to do with it! I don't really want to sell it but at the same time sticking it in a shed for the next few years just seems like a waste and is also somewhat expensive. Hrmmm... I'll mull over it for a while I think!

I wouldn't be surprised if you'd find someone who'd be prepared to pay top dollar for a clean well-running Bora V6 Turbo, with all that hard work done. It's the holy grail of the Bora owner, right? I've seen several newbs sign up over the last few years with Boras, wanting to do a quality turbo mod - but they rarely persist.

You never know - if you put out some feelers, you might find a few people ready to pay serious money for it.

Having said that - I think you should keep it in SA.

Just an FYI to everyone past and present, the Bora is still alive and well!
She'll be getting some TLC over the next 6 months from interior upgrades, to exhaust/intercooler upgrades... Meth, e85 + tune and maybe a bigger turbo

Keen to see this on the streets of Mexico!
Be sure to keep this thread up dated or start a new one with your progress

Just a picture for now haha..
She's got some overboosting problems at the moment (which popped up after fixing a large boost split silicone pipe boost leak).
Going through the process of elimination at this stage, but thinking a rebuild of the external wastegate is wise, considering the gate's age.

So glad to see she's still alive and breathing! I've unfortunately long since left the VW fraternity for a darker side (M140i) but definitely miss the old girl and the epic VR6 sounds! Although I only drop past the Watercooled forums once in a blue moon I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops!

[veedubber95]

Very glad to see you're still around on the forums!
M140i would be loads of fun too i'm sure – you must be very used to seeing traction light pinging on your dash these days!

The Bora is going strong, motor still feels tight! I am in a planning phase at the moment. Looking to upgrade a few minor parts like hose kits, SAI delete, canister delete, battery relocation, billet thermostat housing & need to sort this super annoying overboost problem!

Once I've collated some more info and pictures, i'll post here!
