1.6 8v T project

[mikec123]

Hi my name is Mike i recently decided to take my 1.6 T out and stitch weld my engine bay and re-spray it! I recently had it rolling roaded at stealth motorsport at 190.9 bhp and 184.5 lb ft. I am also going to fit upgraded engine mounts, strengthening kit, lightened flywheel, paddle clutch center plate and a limited slip diff!








Took drive shafts out!


Took my rad and intercooler and all pipes for the intercooler off



Found this nasty suprise hiding behind my headlight!!

I have got the engine and gear box out pics to follow!

Got my engine and gearbox out saturday with the help of my dad! Then yesterday me and scott took the brake servo and most of the bulkhead sound deadening off!

It is a Garrett T2 running 12 psi! and that pic posted by Baxter is my car before the turbo conversion!
