Engine build:

We secured a good low mile stock CCZB engine & spare DSG box for the car, as it's my daily driver, I didn't want it off the road whilst we built stuff. Good choice in the end because it became an issue to get correct pistons for this particular engine code (completely different to the US spec engines) and it took months....



We are very lucky to have a really good engine builder on staff, and Mark worked with the APR team to build the engine with all the assistance of the APR team & their experience with the TSI race cars.

Cylinder head was left completely stock, the combustion chambers were all cc'd, the bore is stock, it was a fairly low mile block & was just re-honed.
