It does in terms of the power upper limit and reliability going forward. I don’t plan on modifying the engine other than doing rods a bit later on so that it can take some more torque.
Thanks a lot 🙌🏽 The engine is stock. It’s got a 74kw polo TDI turbo, straight pipe and software. Eventually I’ll move up to the 96kw tdi polo turbo and bigger injectors. That should make it come alive.
I was not checking for these cars.. They're cheap to buy now and I do alot of mileage so I've seen 1 for 28k in Germiston but I'm thinking I just put in a new motor with that tune sommer
That’s a good plan. The motors aren’t expensive. And they are really reliable. I’ve seen ones with over 500k with an unopened motor. I had a head issue because of a bad major service but other than that. It’s just normal wear and tear.
Speedo and odo is fine when it’s using the factory cable. But the tach has been my biggest headache. I’m keeping the stock box for now so that shouldn’t be an issue. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get the tach working. The MFA cluster on the mk2 needs power for the cluster and signal for the tach. I didn’t have power to the cluster and that was my biggest issue.
I want something that spools quickly. T3T4 makes good peak numbers but I’ve seen the way they make power and it’s not what I’m after. Appreciate your input Raeez. Thanks for watching 💪🏽
Biggest man in existence checks a battery. Things are moving along nicely. The Mk2 is going to be flipping amazing
Loool. At least we know it’s not the battery. Car starts like a champ now. 🙌🏼
Really enjoyed this video. Can't wait to see the end results on the Mk2
Thanks Evan. 🙌🏼 I’m excited too. It’s going to be quite the process. But it just means I’ll have a lot of content to share 💪🏼
I'm really excited to see how the new build will come along but, I am definitely going to miss the sound of the ITB's.
I’m going to miss the sound too. The car was slow but it sounded really good. Hopefully I can get the 1.8t singing nicely.
Exciting times. You should do a few feature cars in between when you are waiting on your build.
That’s a good suggestion Jared. 👌🏽 now to find something exciting to shoot...
Nice I guess this future-proofs the build

652 gang!
Need all the powers for a diesel. A car that starts as it should is a beauty.
Bro your wagon is bananas🍌🍌 if i may ask, what has been done to the motor?

that road gave lorenzo PTSD
😂 Bad flash backs and So much regret.
what's the cost difference between the classic and the black?
It’s about 4k. I should have gotten the black for drive by wire. Definitely worth getting the black.
8:35... I see a TTRS (OO,)
On R8 V10+ wheels. It’s a beauty.
How to make speedometer, tachometer, odometer work after swap???
Speedo and odo is fine when it’s using the factory cable. But the tach has been my biggest headache. I’m keeping the stock box for now so that shouldn’t be an issue.

Go T3T4 1 time boss
