My MK1 3.2 TT Turbo

[V6RUL]

I went as far as I can in Normally Aspirated form where cost benefit had finished me off and the only options were to get out of it and sell or take the leap to FI.
It took me about a week deciding as my modding budget needed to be in place and I decided to turn her in to a slow burn project to relieve pressure on finances.

The TT has been in winter stripdown for the past 6 weeks waiting for parts to come in from Canada and Manchester.
Im replacing the mk2 TT gearbox with an uprated O2E, 15 plate clutchpack and software from HPA.
Im also replacing my NASP Stage 3 head with a Stage 3 FI head c/w berrylium inserts.
Going offshore for the next 4 weeks, so hopefully i will have an update when i get back.

Update..







The gearbox has come with mechatronic, clutch-pack and software pre-installed.
The cardboard box sitting along side is my new spare mechatronic unit.

Here are some shots of my CNC new head with standard inlet valves and Ferrea 1mm oversize exhaust valves sat on Beryllium seats.
The cams are 264/260 fast road pushing against upgraded springs and rockers.















Just gotta wait for a time slot before rebuilding the old girl as there are other tiTTies being worked on.

Managed to get the TT back together in time for the Swiss trip and completed the 3000 miles with minimal fuss.
Two tiTTies fell by the way side with supercharger and driveshaft issues.
I was running reduced boost to protect the new head, gearbox and clutch.
Still managed to achieve 500bhp and 600lb/ft at 75% boost.
Had my exhaust bypass open the whole trip for tunnels and close walled villages....mmmmmmmmm
Back in Blighty with the tour decals on..

Here is a vid of some of the roads in Switzerland and keep your eye out for the car that ended up rolling off the road..

Sorry for wind noise as I left my Skelton back on the Gopro.

This car is awesome. Such a good build. Exterior is far from my taste but that's a personal thing. Kudos to you.

[V6RUL]

Cheers Tom.
The last 4 weeks have been full on, getting the car ready and then enjoying the fruits of the re-build.
Hopefully i can enjoy her some more over the coming weeks before she goes in for some tweaks.
Possibly tubular exhaust manifold and some dyno runs.
I know the exterior is not too everyones liking but it could be a lot worse.

I've stated it before i think, but i just absolutely love those rims PErfectly fit the neo-industrial look which the original TT has (if you follow my drift). Good to hear she's running well

I don't normally like TTs but I love this, good work!

[V6RUL]

Cheers guys, hopefully getting to GTi International this weekend as its a great show, hopefully the weather will be ok.

TTs are dull hairdressers' cars.
Except this one. Formidable!

[V6RUL]

Ha ha, now tiTTies are becoming more affordable to the masses there is a scene for tuned cars.
They can be expensive when they go wrong but keeping on top of jobs spreads the cost.

I hope the OP doesn't think I'm posting to be negative but I love every part of this car except those alloys

[V6RUL]

No worries, the wheels are for longevity as I'm fed up of kerbing alloys.
This is my 5th set in 5 years and these have been on 2.
Quality lasts but costs.

Here is a pic of my EGT sensor that was fited whilst the head was being worked on and its proximity to the turbo..

Since fitting the new head with revised exhaust ports my EGTs are in the 900s on boost now, but using the sensor for data logging will prove valuable in monitoring temp vs timing pull.
Since fitting the new gearbox there was an issue with the length of the O/S driveshaft.
A custom length one is currently being fabbed up and will be balanced and sprayed black once completed, then fitted soon..

Cheers, not your regular wheel for an Audi but I like them.
Schmidt TH Line 3 piece in 18" fitment is not a common choice.
Centres were powder coated black as an optional extra.

Very interesting build Thankyou for posting. Iam interested in the cykinderhead where did you get it ported/cnc machined? Was it 2 different modified heads you had fitted?
