[screwball]

Thank you arnold!

[wagner17]

how the fitment with a front mount because i would be running a eurojet fmic and it looks like the intake is in the way. Can you shed some light on this thank you so much

[AL@PagParts.com]

You would require a custom transition pipe or redo the piping and relocate the throttle body to the driver's side for the cleanest install.

sell the eurojunk and get one of arnolds FMIC kits. you will not be disappointed.

[wagner17]

Here is a pic of a audi tt225 Intake Manifold on my 01 GTI



Here is Al's 550hp Core that works excellent



And here is a view of some of his custom Piping from Intercooler to 225 IM (Bad cell phone pic from a couple years ago)



Hope this helps some, Al does top notch work

[wagner17]

looks like ill be in the hunt for a 225 intake.. looks so clean can you fit your bumper well.. retaining all the grills. Id love to get a 50 trim set up and have about 300whp and hid it behind a euro bumper so if it fits a na bumper hopefully i can do a euro bumper

[One-Eight GTI]

I had to trim my bumper obviously due to the big FMIC on it.. I have my center grill in but do not have my end ones in.... I'm sure Al could make you custom piping to fit them in... I highly recommend getting his core if you ever plan on going BT then he could easily fab you up something...

I'm probably going to have AL fab me up new piping as I have an SEM to put on an a 70mm TB and need a bung for my Water/Meth.. Also I no longer have my battery in the front so want the piping to come up in the spot where the battery used to be at... Plus I'm thinking of having him fab me up a solid piece from turbo to IC and eliminate a couple hose couplings Also my AEB head came in yesterday so need to by some valves, springs ect from Al soon.. Probably send him my whole head

[wagner17]

Wel that obvious about trimming but iill use a smaller core most likley if he gives me a good price ill get it soon and when i go bt i can use it then ... im really thimking on getting this turbo kit .. but it has to be reliable for dd ..

For those who daily this setup. Did you do head work or did you just do drop in rods?.

[screwball]

This stuff is built like a tank so I wouldn't be nervous about daily driving these setups. I put 32K on my car the first year it had an ATP kit and that was a pain in the nuts. I plan to put another 32K on this kit w/out a hiccup.

[boosted b5]

For those who daily this setup. Did you do head work or did you just do drop in rods?.

stock awp, with scat/je setup. i put 38k on my setup before the head had enough and i parted the car out.

dont rev to 8k on stock valvetrain and dont money shift and you will be a-ok.

[wagner17]

Well the v band setup with stock awp head stock pistons and ie rods with a goal of 300 whp seem reasonable witj a 63 ar.

set your goal higher, and build the bottom end accordingly. head swaps are nothing.

i built a bottom end that could take the 550-600hp if i were to cross the bridge.

300whp is easy to get, really easy. and it would suck to have to build the motor again to make more power, so do good bearings, a good rod like the IE 20mm or better, spend a little more upfront. it will save you from a major headache later on.

[wagner17]

Well oem bearings with ie rods stock pistons new rings but id rather keep the head stock.for now but i think it would be a good start.

i would do a 20mm rod over the 19mm drop in's

[wagner17]

Soo id need new pistons.

[dubinsincuwereindiapers]

Soo id need new pistons.

20mm stock aeb pistons would be sufficient, and your best option for a street car.

[wagner17]

So ie 20mm rods aeb wrist pins and pistons oem bearings with my stock awp head that i could mod later if need be.

[dubinsincuwereindiapers]

Correct.. Reassembled with new head gasket, bolts, timing belt, etc. You should be in business. Look into the Brute rods that pag carries. Give Arnold a shout, he'll set you up right

[wagner17]

So far i thinl it would cost around 6k for a good daily set up.

[screwball]

Brutes, Bottom Mount and a 3071R/50 trim could be a potent little setup.
