Next time you ever need to drill out bolts that are blunting your bits, there is a good chance you're drilling a material similar to stainless steel. For stainless you need a very slow drill speed and I mean very slow 60 rpm ish. Then you add a cutting lubricant such as Rocol cutting compound. It will amaze you how effective this is. I know this is too late but still wanted to share.
Get you some cheap eBay tungsten drill bits, it’ll save you from all those dead drill bits. I feel like map gas and hammering a 12pt socket to those bolts would of worked tho. If I remember correctly mk4 2.0 heater core flanges are a 90* to be out the way of the turbo. To be fair that turbo would of came out with all and the exhaust manifold attached, you would of had to remove more stuff around the turbo. Glad you succeeded
Thanks. I love seeing others struggle with "that damned bolt." I am sure your off-camera commentary was not as PG as you typically keep your shows. Good work in this one. I will be adding a few things to my toolbox after watching this.
I tried the same thing...this is why u should do the rods at the same time. Take the head off the engine as its easy to ditch the exhaust manifold and old turbo rather that trying to cut it
OMG ! I know so much theses fighting, with discouragment, and often with a single bold, althought all the others things goes nice. You convinced me that the long rounded allen are a must have tool. Next buy. And yes go to the 249 delete. I did that + oil catch can, and it’s definitly ok !
Do yourself a huge favor and invest in some antisieze... also try and source some copper nuts... will make your life easier in the future... BTW... when drilling bolts etc .. use some cutting oil.. will save your bits from dulling as quickly
You can buy corrugated heater pipe that I use on heaters, and you can buy the same type of thing for air intakes, for brakes and so on, Mostly you will find these in hardware stores , what this allows you to do is shape the pipe to whatever angle you want, and then you can transfer this to the pipe that you need to make as a template , or if you just want to get the distance between one Park and the other just use a piece of rubber pipe to get the distance and the shape you need just so you can get the right length, videos. Good luck.
Go for the sai delete bud. I have a 1.8T beetle project I’m in the process of gathering parts for and from what I can tell it seems to be the way to go. Awesome build dude keep up the good work.
You deserve way more suscriber , hope it will raise soon 😊, each new video you increase the quality and that’s so cool to follow your growth , exciting content , thanks !
Engineering raftsmanship is your bedrock. . Production and artisan style unique. It's a joy to see your work, hear how you interpret things, gain your perspective. Thank you.
Another brilliant video Hunter. Felt the lows and the highs. I think I’d have been crying in my beer by day-two, so we’ll done for sticking with it! That new turbo is going to amazing, can’t wait for the next instalment! 🍻
My favorite UA-cam channel these days. Your videos have helped me so much with my mk1 225 TT build. Keep up the great work. Amazing to see the video quality progression
I have a 03 TTQR and I also have an original APR stage 3+ turbo kit. I want to install it but just waiting on some time to open up, and I need a new clutch so might get that done first.
I feel you man, had the same issue on my TT. Got lucky that two weeks on soaking with wd 40's specialist line, plus some heat and Harbor freights Pittsburgh bolt extractor set hammered on there they came out with an impact. Took about 3 weeks of trying and waiting.
I actually have some on the way to test out as per your recommendation. Sadly they were so rounded I couldn't get a grip on them for this case though. I'm sure I'll use it in the future though!
@@HunterDirection gotcha, I’m able to get it at my local Walmart and Autozone. With the heads being rounded you could’ve cut a strait line across it and turned with a flathead. A socket flathead works best for those situations. If you haven’t subscribed to Project Farms yet it would be a good idea. He does all kinds of testing, one of which is getting stuck bolts unstuck using different penetrants.
This video made me laugh so much, because any time I work on my TT I think ok easy job should take a few hours, then next thing I know it’s taken me 6 hours to remove a bolt that’s either rounded off or seized. It’s never easy with a TT, I feel your pain in this video so much lol
Right!?😆 its always the simple steps that go wrong too. I'm glad im not alone with this haha. Just ran into a similar situation with my S4 yesterday lol
That turbo oil line bracket pissed me off. The bolt on there was so rusty and that even if my allen bit fit it couldnt turn it so i had to cut off the bracket
Bit late now but I removed the stock turbo three times without removing the manifold. Don't ask what my forearms and hands were looking like, but it worked. The next time I lay hands on this turbo, is to swap it for something really nice. But for now, after 5 years owning the TT, we can finally use it for the first time properly.
The "Car Gods" were definitely giving you a tough time with that K04 - glad you made it in the end. I rue the day when my TT 225 turbo needs replacing. If you're looking for top tips on the TT checkout BWS TT - Bryn see this link for the K04 removal ua-cam.com/video/tJYblHyXihY/v-deo.html. He is the UK guru when it comes to Mk1 TT's! Keep up the great videography, always great to see how you progress on the German stable!
Loving what your doing with the TT! As an aside could you tell me how much your plastic ramps lift the car up ? I'm looking for some but not sure it'll give enough room for oil change etc & other jobs. Which ones did you buy? Thanks Kev
Hey! Thank you for the support. The ones I have are from duralast I believe. Not the nicest but also not the cheapest. They work great. I'm not 100% sure how high they lift that car, but plenty high to do an oil change or work under the front of the car.
Your Videography is getting much better, good job dude!
Thank you a ton! I appreciate that alot
I agree, he is definitely on the professional level when it comes to that.

I mark this is as day 1 of patiently waiting for “SSSTUTUTUTU”

I look forward to these videos every week
Congratulations! 👏🏻
Patience and perseverance finally do pay off. 😊
Bro you should make a playlist series for people who want to learn DIY stuff etc…. Anyway great video man good job keep it up man
I tried the same thing...this is why u should do the rods at the same time. Take the head off the engine as its easy to ditch the exhaust manifold and old turbo rather that trying to cut it

Next buy.
And yes go to the 249 delete. I did that + oil catch can, and it’s definitly ok !
Mate watching your vids from Australia. Love your channel. Teaching me a lot. Ty

Yeah I think it would definitely be the better option vs sourcing a non-cracked setup! Thank you for the support!
You deserve way more suscriber , hope it will raise soon 😊, each new video you increase the quality and that’s so cool to follow your growth , exciting content , thanks !
Hey that means alot to me! Thank you so much
I’ve used ball ends on seized M2 hardware, those things are legendary
They really are! I'm sure I'll use them all the time!
The vibration from the dremel loosened the seized bolts. Same concept as an impact wrench.
Engineering raftsmanship is your bedrock. . Production and artisan style unique. It's a joy to see your work, hear how you interpret things, gain your perspective.
Thank you.
I went through the same steps and had the same results with the drilling and torx. My solution was angle grinder to the manifold
Loving the evolution of format; killer work! Sick shoes too
Thank you! I appreciate it a ton! Glad you are liking the content!

The only thing "speedy" about speed outs is how quickly you speed out to the next option 😂😂😂
Lmfao😆😆😆 so true. They would probably be a solid option for a wood screw but that's about all I could think of😅!
This might be dumb, but if you have a industrial soldering iron, you can weld a allen key or a metal rod and use a pipe to turn
Great video production, I'm watching your videos as I do much of the same to my 2002 TT ALMS.
Thank you a ton for the support!
YEES! THESE VIDEOS ARE AMAZING!
Great job man!
Looking good!😍
I am stoked you are enjoying them. Thank you a ton!
Thank you for the lovely videos of the lovely mk1!!@@HunterDirection
Sometimes, one is only left with the option of patience and time. 😊 well done.
I feel you man, had the same issue on my TT. Got lucky that two weeks on soaking with wd 40's specialist line, plus some heat and Harbor freights Pittsburgh bolt extractor set hammered on there they came out with an impact. Took about 3 weeks of trying and waiting.
Also, a cleline set of bits is your friend.
Great vid and under the circumstances you looked fairly calm given the level of issues with those 2 bolts
What is this turbo called because i want to put it on a 225 quattro . I liked your video ,you did a fantastic job mate. Greatings from u.k.
Keep it up brother, love the vids
Thank you for the support!
I guess trying Deep Creep wasn’t an option, oh well. At least you got it out.
I actually have some on the way to test out as per your recommendation. Sadly they were so rounded I couldn't get a grip on them for this case though. I'm sure I'll use it in the future though!

Great stuff man, I can't wait to see this baby rip 🔥
I can't wait either! It's gonna be sick!
@@HunterDirection hell yeah 💯
Never use a torque wrench as a breaker bar

That turbo oil line bracket pissed me off. The bolt on there was so rusty and that even if my allen bit fit it couldnt turn it so i had to cut off the bracket
What did you do for an intake? Is there a video?
Keep the n249 , I wanne know of it still does what its supposed to with higher HP

@@HunterDirection Cool, thanks for info will try to get a set.
Stock engine?
Yes it is! The plan is to get the kit assembled and running on a mild tune stock block for a bit then do internals down the line.
