Nice improvement, so whats next? Did you change to a forged crank or just use another cast crank?

**Golf 2.0T** · 10-13-2011 05:40 PM

forged TT-RS

It does fit but you need the chains and a few other things. Lots of hours of planning.

Basicly, VW changed the chain system on the 09+ 2.5

Correct
you can swap your flywheel for a TSI unit from south bend / clutch masters

So you need the whole chain system from the 09er TT-RS or Rabbit engine?

**DRedman45** · 03-08-2012 10:57 PM

Haha, that's awesome when the wastepipe just spits out the snow/water or whatever it is. Are there any risks to running an open wastepipe like that, especially in winter?

well its probably best to keep water and snow out to avoid any possibility of water filling the cylinders , but ive made a few test myself and my tial 60mm is almost water tight . just to be sure i put a rubber cap on the pipe when im not driving the car .

**vdubzkikazz** · 05-23-2012 02:58 AM

Ok.. WOW!!! That's awesome, just read 18 pages and its 3 am. Great job golf 2.0t you should change to golf 2.5t genius..

now time to dream on how to get my hands on some serious $ to do swap this nice on my mk3 jetta. I want 2.5t awd

**Golf 2.0T** · 06-18-2012 08:01 PM

did a few setup changes , clutch upgrade and ecu upgrade . went with cutch masters twin disc and with MegaSquirt v3 . i am now running with oem coil on plug instead of the old audi 10V distributor setup. i went to napierville dragway and did my first ever run with launch control

and it showed ... 1.59 60ft . managed to do a 10.58@130mph on a half an hour race tune with no dyno the day before . looks promising for the rest of the season . that car shifts like a DSG

**AJmustDIE** · 06-18-2012 09:35 PM

Car is MOVIN!
