Lito's MK4 GTI

Pistons are forged so no real need to change them, best option would be get a tfsi crank and get a set of pistons and rods to match

Should see the engine increase to 2-2.1l which should reduce lag times

atp want $850 to ship here which is ridiculous. found this on ebay for much cheaper...

Got sick of waiting for my dual column pod, kinda wasn't sold on the idea anyway. So I install my A/F guage in the air vent.



I'm pretty happy with the install except i think I did something to the bonnet release cable, it's really loose now
Sits on around 14 at idle and mild acceleration, drops to around 11-13 at WOT, 21 coasting in gear

looking good mate, nice touch with the blue digits

turbo kit and rods ordered!! I need peoples opinions on something though. the kit comes with an up pipe to mate the t25 flanged gt2871r to the stock exhaust manifold (i have the high flow frabkenturbo on there atm). im thinking about getting a custom manifold made up that replaces this setup, do people think it'll be worth getting this done? the k03 flange looks to be quite a bit smaller than a t25 flange. what kinda cost would i be looking at?

Wow

What kit did you order, i have been thinking about one of the CTS or PagParts kits

Oh you ordered a Eliminator Kit ?
I think the whole idea of this kit is that it is cheaper because you are using the stock exhaust manifold etc. If you want a different manifold i would suggest you order a proper kit

[vwthunder]

Custom manifold would be $1000+ I think

Some stuff arrived today...
