The Boudah Chronicals .:Rebuild Thread – The Whole Story

[BOUDAH]

I bought my 2004 Black Magic Pearl R32 at Valenti Volkswagen in Mystic, Connecticut Dec 8, 2008 as aaCPO. Traded my MK5 2006 BMP GTI. Since then its been through many changes and some im alittle ashamed of. I bought the .:R 32 with 64,644 miles. Not going to lie, it sounded flipping amazing. I was sold haha.

EDIT: The original Thread how my car came to Be.

i don't like reading about cars and their stories... i just like eating popcorn.

I wish i had the time and finances to pop on a new steering rack.

Turns out on the R32, unlike all other MK4s, you have a Sleeve that fits between the Ball joint shaft and the Knuckle. Well the Aftermarket “MEYLE” ball joint I purchased from German Autoparts ( GAP ) doesn’t include a flanged nut as in the OEM Nut. Once Matt brought this to GAPs attention, they emailed MEYLE and was able to get their ball joints revised with a flanged Nut! WIN.

Interesting! I bought some TRW branded ball joints a couple of years ago for my TT Quattro (same as R32) and I noticed they had the wrong nuts on them too.

I noticed that it looked like the nut could potentially pull through so I stopped and contacted the supplier and they sent me the correct flanged nuts. Something for everyone to check when doing ball joints as it looks like other manufacturers may be making the same mistake.

Thanks Guys, So To touch a little more on the Superhcarger Build. Everyone seems to be upset i went with a Vortech SC instead of the Rotrex. Frankly i like the Vortech better and had a first hand ride behind the wheel of Bills car with the V2 and frankly got a little Chubb, HAHA

Alright so this is my setup I have all parts purchased except HPA kit in hand and 3 inch exh. )

-Vortech V2 S trim w/ 928 motorsports Impeller

-VF V1/2/3 Mounting Bracket w/ 8 Rib AUX Drive pulley. I am trying to work a deal to get Cogged pulleys and a belt. More to this will come when the build actually begins

-Air to Water Intercooler

- Shcrick 272/272 Camshafts (already installed) ( I had purchased 268/264 cams but im curious what kinda power this will make if any with the blower and CVP Ill swap the 268s in afterwards if Power diff isnt great

-United Motorsport E85 Software ( currently has CAM Tune )

- SuperSprint Headers

-2 Hiflow 300 cell Cats to 3inch custom cat back

HP GOAL is set to 350-400 AWHP. Should be more than attainable if Bill made 400 with his simialr setup.
