here's a core, you could use your existing housing and get it built properly for less than 500 quid. worth an email to see if they build turbos.

To me a dump valve is just a spring that moves 100 pounds just seams like a lot some people rate them some people say there just engine bling

Why not look for a damaged TT 225, buy it, strip what you need and flog the rest ?

For example,

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-Audi-TT-1-8-T-Quat...

Sell the wheels and tyres, various body parts, headlights, interior, brakes, haldex, dashpod, stereo etc etc ? then weight the rest in.

Prob get that for £800 as been on ages.

the problem is the the tt is horizontal engine, the audi longitudinal so not much is interchangeable, i don't think the turbo fits without work.

Precisely!

Use a 1.8T BAM engine from a mk1 Seat Leon Cupra R that will work!
