I purchased a 2000 last year for $800. It lasted 45 minutes. It ended up costing me another $1500, including tow truck costs. I bought a new car, but i still held onto it. I look forward to putting love into my toy. I was initially discouraged about making it a project since it wasn't a 3.2, but this video has given me the gusto i needed.
My old 2004 225 TT I sold last month had a gt28rs, changed rods, valves upgraded, fuel system bla bla bla bla and made around 400bhp. Reason I sold it was because I spent years, 1000’s of £/$ then went in a 550bhp mk1 tt and I wasn’t that impressed. Made me realise that I would forever be chasing numbers.
The money from the TT I spent on Mods & tuning for my BMW 335i. 600bhp daily which actually feels fast as it looks on paper, makes me wish I never sunk so much money into that mk1 tt when the wife’s £/$300 stage 1 map on her Golf R would literally shit all over my old tt. The golf r is heavier, made 50bhp less than my tt, the golf r had normal 95ron/octane fuel map and the tt overall on paper a quicker car, much quicker but in real life it was a brick.
@@BlaxJakx golf R comes with good flowing heads and cams and turbo from the factory. Plus direct injection. So not a fair comparison. Did you have big port heads? Stroker 2.0? Stand-alone ecu?
@@dujuanjohnson5025 yes big port from certain code and then more porting, and different inlet. But yeah your right the vag ea888 platform is amazing and years ahead rightly so .
Hey man, not sure, soon after this video the car was in an accident but Luke is doing an even bigger build on a TT QS which is utilising lots of parts from this build so hopefully the draggy can come out and get the 100-200 times 🤣👌🏻
I think the engine set up was over £10k once Luke had finished. He is starting a channel soon to continue the build! Check his instagram @Luke_aston 💪🏻💪🏻
Hey I was wondering what kind of turbo u running I have a frankenturbo and want to go bigger … engine is ready to go with all forge internals … is there a turbo u would recommend for big power
I have a 04 tt 225. Body kit all around + the carbon fiber exhaust and wing piece. I have 19inch ottinger aluminum I believe rims. With continental dws+. I’m chipped and idk what all was done under the hood by the first owner but it feels I have more then 270hp but I really don’t know. I would love to upgrade even further. I’m not lowered but it looks good the way it is. No boost gauge. I would love to do more work to my car but idk what more to do? Any feedback wiuld be great. I’d love to have 400hp like I said idk how much I have, feels like more than 300 to me but I could be wrong.
I didn’t rate them tbh. Yes, standard bots to the adapter. I’ve purchased a set of k-sport 8pots for my new build as I didn’t like the pedal feel in the bembos on the tt’s small master
Hey man! Personally if you’re driving your 225 daily, I would buy another block to start with. Then do a bit of research on what power you’re looking to get so you can select a turbo. I’d then send the block to be forged and be fully built to your spec for your selected power. Not cheap at all but that way you can build in stages! 👊🏻
The stock pistons can handle over 500-600 hp. Only thing you have to change on a 1.8t is the rods and exhaust valves to stronger ones. The stock intake valves can handle over 800hp. Then pick a turbo and clutch that’s the cheapest you can built it without breaking the bank.
Nice and clean build. Love it. What size are your wheels and brake discs. Im looking to uograde my brakes with z18 same as you but don't know if the 370mm disc will fit my ultraleggera rims. Any help would be appreciated 🙏
Anybody know which Model of porsche thease recaro seats are? Look amazing:) I have TT 225HP Quattro and i think to change the seats thease at the video Looking great:)
I think he is about £35K deep now man! Such a good build though! He has another one in work at the moment! @luke_aston on instagram if you want to follow the build
I've got a stage one bam 269bhp it's slow. Don't have thr money or will to make it better . My copper r53 with slight mods wipe thr floor with thr tt in everyway. Really want to love my tt but so under whelmed. Pulls hardest in 5th and 6th and creeps up thr clock pretty quick but just feels slow. Thr gearing is weird if it had the long gearing of a cooper s it would be a lot better . I mean mine does 40 in 1st but have to go up another 2 gears to grt to 60 runs out of steam at 50 in 2nd its like 10 mph and change gear. Who thought of that haha
It’s always great knowing people do the work themselves, U don’t get much of that nowadays
It’s the best part.
I don't see how you can take pride in the work when it was someone else's.. to me it just seems silly..
I’ve just started building a full blown track MK1 tt and seen this and got me gassed 🤌🏻😍
Haha helllll yeah bro!! That’s what we want!! Good luck with the build brother it will be more smiles per gallon
im bout to do the same they are really fun cars
Are you on Facebook? Im doing the same and created a fb page to share my progress let me know I'll drop the link
I'm just moving house to one with garage space and the first purchase will be a TT for a track/weekend car. How are you getting on?!

Keep it and build it. You’ll love it!!
1.8 is better than 3.2
@@pajuluomawildout2896 I was not convinced till I got my hand on 1.8t since I always was fan of 3.2. it's one of the best fun car I've driven.
Bought a stage 2 cobb tuned mki. $450!!!! 😂
Stil bergain
Amazing. Just bought a mk1 tt and this is very inspiring.
LOVE THE TT!
I have one and this makes me want to fix it up even more
Glad it inspired you man!!
Integrated performance 🤯🤯🤯
Very Nice TT!! Extreamly power with Big Turbo...
Long live the Mk1 TT🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎
Awesome colour!!
You should do more content involving this TT.
I’d love to see it in the dry...
You want to see what’s coming next dude! Another level inbound!
Can’t wait for version 6 to be done and finished now
Check comment above on question on seats 👌🏻
Sounds amazing
Good video guys
Luke - buy some damn 3.2 wipers!!!! JFC!
I would have gone for a 3.2 turbo conversion but it's awesome to see people making crazy things happen
Do it then let's see the 3.2 build will be epic
6-Speed Manual > Auto
Lighter weight with this motor. Plus a lot cheaper to do. There are some turbo v6 corrados out there that are gnarly, but this tt is solid
Nice one bro 😊😊😊😊
Sweet ride!! Wish we had a badger5 in the us
I wish also!

2002 Audi TT ALMS (with a bunch of goodies). Does she still feel like slug? The Quattro system robs a ton of power...like...it just feels like a slug.
Wet/damp says it feels a little slower due to Quattro robbing the power. A warm dry day it’s stupidly quick and isn’t much that can keep up

Hello, pretty car,. Could youy say me what are the seats ?
What exhaust? Sounds amazing
Excuse me is it safe with 83mm bore? I was thinking for 82.5. Can you advice please
What do you reckon 100-200 times would be on this bad boy ?

what exhaust did you say? i couldn’t understand clearly. sorry
I love the car it looks amazing, I have one my sale and I would love to tuning my car too , how much it will cost if you don’t main ?
I think the engine set up was over £10k once Luke had finished. He is starting a channel soon to continue the build! Check his instagram @Luke_aston 💪🏻💪🏻
What alloys did you have on the TT at 4.42? really nice
Rota Grid wheels bud!

What rims you got?
yes please tell!
What color code is this TT? Moro or Ming blue? Something else? Love this car!
It is Moro blue 🙏🏻 such a good colour
Good car
What’s the stand-alone called ???

If you want more than 300 hp in the mk1 you have to upgrade the rods, if you don’t you’ll blow up the engine
The clutch can also not handle more than 400 Nm.
@@demiswinkels depends on the torque curve.
Torque kills engines, hp doesnt.
@@dennis-br6vr torque x rpm = hp
what are those 6 pot brembos like? did you use oem bolts on the adapter plates connecting to hub? and 18s wheels ?
I didn’t rate them tbh. Yes, standard bots to the adapter. I’ve purchased a set of k-sport 8pots for my new build as I didn’t like the pedal feel in the bembos on the tt’s small master
Anyone knows the company that did the tuning? Thanx
Badger 5 in the UK 🙏🏻
What battery is that looks tiny ? 🤔
odyssey battery
What are those wheels!??
If i remember correctly they are just a set of Rota Grids
Can the awd system and manual trans handle this much power?
Not blown up yet haha
This is gonna sound weird but how tall are you guys? I’m 6’5 and was looking into getting one but it looks a little short
Luke who owns the car is around 5ft 9. The roofs are pretty low so i'd go sit in one haha!
I'm doing ok at 6'2" and have even moved seat forward a notch to help w that ridiculous clutch throw.
I'm 6'.1" and it's all good
I’m 6’1 and I fit just fine but you might be too tall for it. You gotta go sit in one first
Would not it be cheaper to buy a ttrs?
It's it the 1.8 2 wheels drive or this Quattro?
If it's Quattro I can see why he might have done it :)
It’s Quattro bro!
@@KillAllWipers nice bro! :)
Nice filming. Fun car. What seats are in it??

i figured that out i hope i hope youve taken the lamborghini stickers off and replaced it with brembo :P

lol 😂 ffs 🤦🏻♂️
I’d love to know the wheel spec 😭
Will cover it in a UA-cam videos as I’m starting to document my next mk1 tt build
I've got a stage one bam 269bhp it's slow. Don't have thr money or will to make it better . My copper r53 with slight mods wipe thr floor with thr tt in everyway. Really want to love my tt but so under whelmed. Pulls hardest in 5th and 6th and creeps up thr clock pretty quick but just feels slow. Thr gearing is weird if it had the long gearing of a cooper s it would be a lot better . I mean mine does 40 in 1st but have to go up another 2 gears to grt to 60 runs out of steam at 50 in 2nd its like 10 mph and change gear. Who thought of that haha
Go stage 2 minimum for it to be fun. Still slow, but night and day compared to stage 1
I mean that's plenty fast for the street lol but on track yeah youd want more power
I'm not a fan of blue cars and the carbon rear spoiler doesn't make it better. Otherwise, sick build!
I was never a fan of TT,s . But a 225 bam Ferrari red minter was given to me, so now I'm hooked.
@@k1ortia I owned a Quattro for 14 years, they are build like tanks. It's probably Misano red ;)
@@0Turbox yes, I think your right. It's a really strong bright red anyway.
Yu are running too much boost they is no need to run that much for below 600hp
