Black mk5 gti project

[VWPalmer]

Thought I'd start a thread as I've now sold all the parts off my old car so I have some money to spend 

Here are a few pics from the day I picked it up.




So the plan is to get a revo stage one from PDT and an evoms intake on hopefully be around 250-260bhp? and an auto tech rear ARB. Then after new year get the NQSBBK hopefully.

Looks very nice, any more plans after remap?

[VWPalmer]

loads   after the brakes I'm looking at twintercooler, hpfp, good coil overs, super pro lower arms with ALK, front ARB, milltek catback and k04 turbo set up   hopefully have most of that done by the end of next year then I should have a daily car so that I can get maybe a GT30 and forged internal and other fun stuff

Mine is AXX mate, it is a 2005.

[VWPalmer]

Yea same, any ideas on what power the engine can handle before I start needing forged bits? 

[GNJ_Motorsport]

Quite a lot mate! What are your plans?

About 320-330 bhp should be reliable on an AXX (k04 converted of course) but on a revo stage 1 you will struggle to see 250-260 bhp thats stage 2 power ,will be more like 240-245 bhp ,if you want 400 bhp its gonna be best to forge it for sure

Cheers for the info, I was planning on forging it just wasnt sure at which point to do so, after I get the k04 on it i'll get it forged to be safe  I should be able to get a stage 2 map and the associated parts shortly after christmas 

gnj the parts i plan on getting are in one of my posts above. My ultimate goal is to break 400bhp

Haha 

I'm looking at 360-380 with mine hopefully. I will prob upgrade the internals on ours or just swap it out for a newer S3 lump. Not sure just yet.

Couldn't help you with the Evoms but the rest we can with pretty much all of it.

[VWPalmer]

I have looked at changing to the s3 engine at some point but may just keep one as a back up for if mine goes pop

[VWPalmer]

Booked my car in at PDT for the 26th of this month to get a bit more power 

[jaffa]
