Nah I Love it to much! spent way to much time and money to get rid of the golf plus I still think it's better looking and built better then some new cars ! Has character to it

Nice Josh 

I think the consensus was drive it quite hard on a new engine,  bed the rings in and stop high oil usage long term

TTE ftw 

Thanks @fab5freddy I've used millers 10w40 running in oil for 30 miles then dropped another lot of running in oil and ran that for 180 miles then changed it for fully synthetic, now to drive it the Crucial miles for wearing in is the first 50 or so, I could see the swarf in the oil when I changed it,
@Pudding I'll buy your tte420 if you don't want it  I can pm the price of the engine..
 I brought it from TPS also the ecu will adapt to the lower compression ratios  and it runs very well except the runner flap delete currently hasn't been mapped out yet..
cheers @ducman77 brought the engine from tps I didn't want to buy a second hand unit because you don't know what's happened to them 

I've PM'd you mate.

The swarf is probably bearing crumbs?  Shouldn't be much piston ring / cylinder dust as the factory do a decent hone job on these.  I really wouldn't advise the aggressive bed in method.  Drive it normally and avoid maximum load, labouring, and maximum revs.  Do lots of over-running too so that the PCV vacuum pulls the rings onto the cylinders for extra bedding in.

Is that a brand new CDL engine from Audi?    Dare I ask, how much?!!  Will your AXX ecu run it OK?

I've got a TTE420 as well but I've been pondering whether or not I should stick it on my 108K old BYD engine, which also has an uncertain past.

TTE420s see around 300lbft by 3000rpm and up in the 400s by 4000rpm, and holds a good slug of it to the limiter, so well worth doing.

I don't think even a CDL will hold a TTE420 indefinitely though, but it'll be fun whilst it lasts!

I agree.... i think it would make more sense to rebuild the AXX block with forged rods and pistons but a bit too late now though lol

Great build this 

[r5gtt]

Awesome build mate what power you going to get out of the new engine and stage 2

[pudding]

I think he's looking to Mr TTE420 for some power answers, so well over 400 Shetlands!

[r5gtt]

Bottom end rebuild I would say to that one imho wouldn't even risk it otherwise

[pudding]

How's the CDL bedding in going?  Bought a TiTTy420 yet?

Hi @Pudding  2,000 miles on the engine now, and it's been mapped at Rtech and niki made this happen

And no I haven't brought a tte420 yet working on it 

[Mike58]

Jesus.....what a beast!!
All you'll need is a Haldex conversion and you'll be off

[WillB]

I envy this car so much! Total beast.
Class work

Great results!  I bet that brand new engine feels super smooth and tight 

With all that compression, a TTE420 will make 450 easily on your engine!!

I finally brought a tte420 turbo and a BCS 3.5" downpipe into decat to extract the most hp I can get  so I'll have a 3" downpipe to sports cat for sale soon and a k04 turbo too
