nice!

Wenn al the parts are in this GTI will go like a rocket !!

And build your own style Otti......it's your ride !!

i promise you will never have seen a bay like mine before when i am done!!!!

last parts arrived, cant wait to get everything on/in the engine.



what do you think, engine gearbox is going to be white, should i go white or blue valvecover? :confused:

engine bay stays white? i say blue

thats the thing, bay will be resprayed white and engine/gearbox as well, i am afraid that it would look to plain, on the other hand it would make the anodized billet parts just pop out even more.

i am still undecidet, boath US and SA say to go white, will i do the opposite?

than go with white, that way you can always choose to respray it in blue

i picked up the first package at customs today :D

had a little time for some privat work today and smoothed the channels of the manifold, portmatched the turbo flange and got the mashine shop guys plan the flange to 1/100 of a mm, i hope that helps.

shit i bumped the wrong thread... LOL

I think when your engine is ready Your mk1 wil go like a rocket !!!!!

Keep up the good work!!

thanks for the words, pm send.

very nice

thank you, not that you think i stopped there here are some pics of the upgrading process winter 2012

complete new wiring harness




this is going to be in a tube as well, pic is from mocup


new routing of engine harness from behind the engine


this is my new fusebox, ecu, control unit panel on the passenger side


fits right behind the kneebar and will be completely invisible later.


we are planning a hidden handbrake setup and the stereo under the seat to make the interior completely clean, still lots of work but i think it will make a big difference in the end, cant wait until we can get the engine build up going
:D

keep up the good work!

love the fusebox/kneebar idea.

the wireing continues...









almoast done!

after some talking and planning we decidet to go all custom and have a radiator/intercooler combo made wich will need less space and makes the bay cleaner until that unit arrives i only have the new routing for the headlights to show.



unshure if i want to have the plaes longer to the front, would you?

Nice place to put your oil cooler radiator,do you have a picture from the front.
I have to place my own Mocal cooler to in my MK1 and i like the way you did it :thumbup:

And sorry for my English but i didn't finished school :screwy:

here is the pic as requested, long time ago...



i am going to have it moved under the passenger side frame rail, need to get the bay as clean as possible!!

Thanx it looks good ,am sure i will do it just like this there is no better solution for me.
It catch some good air just behind the grill and it stays away from the engine cooler ;)

next parts are now freshly anodized in usa with my man aaron.



the car is off to the cooler builder and will get a custom inter/watercooler setup as well as a completely new exhaust system 3"...

i am struggeling to finance all of this since the baby is coming any day now but i will not give it up!!

thanks to the man Speeding g-60 the parts came to my place in germany.
the finish is awsome!!!


also i got the keys to my new garage wich i am going to refurbish first. no electricity is bad but i will come up something.


the car is at the cooler builder who is going to make the custom exhaust as well

whats new bro?

For electricity get some cheap solar panels at a camping store (for about 40 euro you have a decent one ) and score some old batteries.
It won't run your machines but it'll give you light and some music.

I read on FB he became a father!! Congrats!!

coolerbuilding is ongoing, here the first pics from the shop
