I'm also working on a parts list for our 1.8 big turbo. I still have lots to learn. Glad to have found your channel. Keep us posted. I follow Pinche Al's garage and CO motorsports. Now this channel. Thanks for posting.

The channel you have created is appreciated for the euro tuning vehicle for the competition out there. I have subscribed. I will be tuned in.!

Nice build dude, subscribed to see the result! I drive a B6 1.8tq myself, starting to do my first upgrades now. Not aiming for such crazy power though, lol.

Smart decision to save money on the exhaust manifold and put the money towards the engine internals.

Just started working on mine. Never owned a german car or a 1.8t. Im going to go with the same turbo you have.

nice to see somebody else with a pulsar turbo setup =D i went with thier 4849g (g25-550) for my 1.8t stroker

Nice build, look forward to seeing it run. I would of went the IE rods for sure though. 👍

Looking good about to drop my built 1.8t into a GLI with a gt30

two things I would've changed up, connecting rod company, and ARP head "studs" instead of one time use head bolts. Only because you may have to be in the engine again at some point and why worry about spending again on stretch bolts.

Amazing stuff! Currently working on my AEB head build looking into the intake manifold. Can you please drop the links to the parts you used for the custom plenum on the manifold 🙏🏼

I’m also going to build and big turbo my AEB Quattro. My tuner says that I don’t need to swap to DBW. I’m currently running Eurodyne Maestro 440cc file because I’m on stock motor and turbo for now.

sick

Can you drop the link to the manifold??

Good video, keep us posted. Who are you tuning with ?

Update: I’ve spent probably another $1,800 since this video. But just got my cyl head and block back so starting assembly this week 👍🏻

Wish you all the best w/this. I was north of $10K on my 1.8 stroker. How you say? I used a FullRace exhaust manifold = $1200, $900 I.E. intake, $1500 United Motorsport stage 5 tune w/ a ProMAF air intake, plus, plus, plus. It adds up. I was not skimping, all braided lines, etc. I DEF could’ve cut some corners but…. Oh well. Good luck, your turbo seems a little big IMO, long spool up time and I’d’ve used a 44mm WG. I went w/ Garrett Gen2 3071R, MAD spool comes in @ 3500rpm’s. I got 870cc injectors on pump gas, E85 not abundant where I live(CT). I did 2.0FSI Stroker crank and a set of Schlick cams too, have yet to Dyno but my goal was @400HP and everyone telling me it’s closer to 450-500. It’s a daily driver for work so I didn’t want to go crazy. Using a GrimmSpeed MBC at around 15psi boost. SouthBend Stage 2 Endurance clutch w/ a set of Raxles on TOYO R888’s tires and hang on for life! Lol

what rear main seal did u use.

Did you keep stock pistons

Could you do a video on your E85 setup?

Хорошая машина у самого такая

good video, show the parts instead of just boxes. thanks!

New turbo and better intake valves and springs decent map decat and intacooler there’s your 450whp

I went with rr stage 4 and it doesn't allow you to shift fast at high rpm. I talked with Mike and he said the stage 5 kit with 6 puck would be better, or the cm fx450 bc it uses the same disk.id recommend get the stage 5 or fx450. I'm not happy with shifting so slow, I got the ss braided clutch line as well and shifts are still too slow with the full face disk, it's basically too heavy of a disk to shift fast.

Question for anyone in the thread: I am building a 2.0 stroker version of the 1.8T (AWM). I went with CP-Carrillo stroker pistons at 83mm (3.268") bore. I was gapping my rings and somehow feeler guages failed me (more like I failed to use them properly) and I over gapped everything. I need advise on whether it will be fine or if I need to buy a whole new set of rings. Specs according to CP for Nitrous/Turbo engines: Top: Bore x 0.0055" = 3.268x0.0055 = 0.018" or 0.45mm 2nd: Top + 0.004" to 0.008" My rings: Top: 0.021" or 0.52mm 2nd: 0.028" or 0.70mm Is this too much gap now? Please help!!

Where did you get the exhaust manifold from?

I didn't hear how much you only paid for the car. These are great engines. one of the best engines under 2.0 cc.

Hey where did you get the flow control valve for the trans?

I have watched your video, and I have an almost identical setup on my 1.8 turbo Cupra R with the same log manifold and similar pulsar turbo. This log is rubbish and you will have many problems with it. If you want to put it on you will have to machine it and remove a7mm from a flange in the order you can screw the nuts with a washer. If you don't the nuts will unscrew. It is almost unposible to tighten firmly upper nuts because it is unaccessible.+ your turbo will be buried deep in the engine. Do yourself a favor before you start and make or buy ramhorn heater.

can i run the same stuff with gt3071r turbo ?

Hey where can I buy a budget price turbo kit

dude ill start posting videos but i am literally doing the same build, i have roughly funnily enough almost all the same parts but ive been putting it away almost giving up on it but gonna get started again in the next few weeks

How much roughly did it cost you to build it ?

Thats about my goal too. More is welcome of course. Initial goal was 500awhp. But 93 fuel ultimately is my restriction. What fuel will u be using. So far its super cheap!!! I admit i didnt watch 100% of video. But i assume 180 in exhaust gets you straight pipe out the side at the most? These cars can make power. I was 411awhp at 26psi 93 fuel on mustang dyno. But this isnt a honda or mustang. So in other words its expensive, lol. Machine work is expensive too. Im 1.8 stroker now. No running yet. Hopefully in a month or two.

Engine management?

That crapy turbo manifold gonna hurt performance

Do yourself a favor and pin the crank gear and use a arp bolt, my build is almost same, little more extensive but I'll never lose another motor from crank gear keyway shearing 😂. Also if it's not too late get pistons, I know people say they're forged but mine got cracks at the wristpins at about 300±whp

What happens if the intercooler is too small?

That’s 058 motor what ecu will u b running

Why on gods green earth would anyone pick a lig manifold considering all the info for the last 20yrs ,4 branch makes 60 Bhp more everything else equal , and that’s on a 1.6

░p░r░o░m░o░s░m░ 😪

I bet you it exploded

Also 450 wheel on a 1.8t smh

E85 is dumb what a wasteful build
