Didnt you buy a bug or super beetle??? Whats up with that?

 

LOL good memory.. thats still sitting in the driveway.. gotta drop the engine and throw in a new clutch (I hope that its just the clutch and not the transaxle) and slap a new carb on.. two new rear tires.. tabs.. hmm wonder what that adds up to?

 

450 whp!

 

if you so easy on your car, then it should be ok, because even you will lower the boost like 5psi to keep everthing running, it could be run very rich at wot because of very low boost level. for example unitronics does not recommend to go less than 15psi. but it should be fine. just try to not to build some boost. 0-60 will be like 20+ seconds but it is better than to say sorry. I do it everytime when its cold because of my missfiring problem.

 

Ok budget is 2500
Im expecting the car to be out of service for a week maybe more.. hopefully not too long

I dont think i will be going small turbo since the goal of that was to get me back on the road while waiting for the rebuild.

Im hoping the rebuild will only be like 700-800 (not really sure, but since they are like 1500 brand new... who knows)
Ceramic coat the hotside of the turbo.. Ceramic coat the testpipe.. (im guessing 200 for that since it cost me 90 for the entire exhaust manifold)

Now the question is this.. where do i put the rest of that fundage??

 

ball bearing upgrade?

 

Save that **** for gas!!

 

possibly.. thinking of what on the turbo can be upgraded to get more power Gotta make the most out of a bad situation lol
Any other suggestions on what I should get?? Thinking about ditching the Bosch 440 Greentop injectors and going with something a little better..

Nahh!! Gas prices arent too bad.. and i still have the water/meth to install so i wont need race gas anymore

 

get your hotside and exhaust manifold ported and jet coated

 

My K04 runs at 17-19 for daily driving so running 12-14 should be no problem
