So as my VR6 got written off (which was the original project for the turbo) I now have myself a 3 door ready for the turbo treatment.

With the help of a friend the engine was built earlier this week. The sump will be attached once the fittings for the oil return arrive.



I also installed some colour coded door handles as I had some laying around:

So mad. Good you've kept onto this.

I was looking at getting that mk3. The price and no rego were it's detriment to me. Hope it's all well!

Also, will you squeeze that turbo in on that manifold?

Thanks mate it is a great base to start with it is really clean and rust/dent free.

As for the manifold/turbo fitting it will be close to the firewall but won't hit. If I went for a GT40 or similar it would have been an issue.

Yeah fair enough. Standard intake manifold? What rear housing? 3" exhaust?

300kW! Crazy! And in a 3-door.

No a short runner intake manifold (Mig Fab). The turbine housing is 0.63A/R. Not sure on the exhaust/downpipe size but it will be around 3" or 3.5" most likely.

And thanks mate, 300kW is the minimum power figure I want so it could well be more but we'll keep it low to start.
