ok, saw this while working, if i wasn't in my work truck i would of put a note on the car asking if they wanted to race a "stock" 1.8t.... cause if they are dumb enough to think they got a turbo 2.8 then they would be dumb enough to think i am stock



on a side not, as i was coming home my idle started bouncing, as i pulled onto my street, my car sounded like ****, i started backing in as usual, and heard the dreaded dentist drill.... i about ****, cause i just put in my new turbo..... i backed into the garage and it was louder, i was like wtf...... popped the hood, and i could hear air and the motor was stuttering... i looked around and saw some wires were under my heatshield touching my turbo, fixed that, nothing was melted then i saw there was a hose that should be on the mani not attached, re-attached it and all was back to normal

Maybe the joke is on you and he too has a built car.

Glad to hear the car was an easy fix!

Obviously if you have the 2.7T stroker, you have done the A8/TT brake conversion...
