  • Very awesome! Cool to see a turbo kit that looks like it fit's under the decklid.

  • It does fit under the deck, completely closed, not a kit though. I fabricated the entire header and intake systems from scratch. The turbo is a t3 from a stock 1.8 audi, rebuilt with a carbon seal for the draw-through type setup. Holley bracket racer 500 cfm 2 barrel carb. I now have 12k on it @ 12lbs, running synthetics and changing every 2k. No problems and still running strong. Not even a valve adjustment! Will have more video soon.

  • Its a 1600, 12 lbs boost, did close to 140hp on the dyno. This car is almost completed.

  • Hey great turbo. I just recomend you to check the screws that hold the engine cause it shouldn´t move like that. It won't fall but it can damage the transmition with all that movement. First turbo I see that can fit under the original hood.

  • hell yea I'd be down for a "kit" as well. How much?

  • They want to make it appear that it was the first start. Probably they had been working all night...nice car....

    ...i want one

  • car is too new :(

  • Hi! Im very interested.can you make other header for me? the complete "kit"

    for how much? let me know.thanks for your time.

  • There are many Turbo Audi's Nick. The older 5 Cylinders had T25, for example the Audi 5000qs. Now newer ones ranged from your basic early A4 /Vw Passat with a 1.8t K03. Then VW made the GTI with K03, then The GTI with the K03 [I]Sport

  • i always thought that the audi had a K03?

  • Very cool! Thanks for the info, sounds like you did a great job on it!
