this is all going in my 99 jetta , the car orginally an 8v automatic, then i added nitrous and blew the motor, then put a new motor in and changed over to a 5spd then i turboed it , then my turbo stuff got jacked, now it's getting converted to a 16v turbo here are the goods my project is finally gonna get underway this weekend, the goal is 300whp or more on pump gas and a stock block :sly:

 

tial
its

looking good bro... nice parts choices.

 

Now we know whos got all the money around here.

16v in an a3? lemme guess... no emissions where your at...

btw... how exactly did the n2o blow the motor? b/c i've been runnin 100 shot on my girl's a3 2.0 and i've melted plugs, over rev'd, backfired, and all kinds of **** and the motor WONT BLOW UP

 

tubular dude!

 

The block is cast iron right? How do your pistons hold up?

You ever post on vwvortex?

there are emissions here but only in the portland metro area, when my tags are up next year i'm gonna register the car somewhere else the car will still be running OBD2 though, just a 16v head
there were many things that cause the motor to blow, i was running a zex dry kit, i had a 75hp nitrous pill with a 65hp fuel pill, i was running bosch platinum 4+ plugs, a techtonics chip that advancing the timing, so it was pretty much a ticketing time bomb

custom

 

That looks like a good setup. I'm putting a T3 on a 97 A3 golf tonight. it used to be an automatic too.
except for the 5 speed trannys and the engine managment the A3 2.0 x-flow is prime for turbo. it's so strong it can blow diffs like no ones business!

you have a 16v head on the ABA block? why not start with a 1.8t, my favorite FI engine

we've run platinum plugs too, with the techtonics chip too, and it just wouldn't blow... we were trying to grenade it.. LOL...

And as far as the diffs blowing, they dont need power to do that... lol... my girl's grenaded the tranny just driving down the road on her way to work

b/c it's cheaper and easier this way and some say the 16v will produce more power

 

1.8t's bottom ends really are bullet proff. The head is one of the best flowing heads made bar none. But the 1.8t is also hella expensive.

 

Boosted jetta - this is really weird. I'm useing your old pipes from your saab T3 setup on the golf i'm doing!!
I just told my buddy about your 16v/aba combo and I mentioned the type of turbo you just got. He was on my computer a minute ago and said 'hey does it look like this? (showing me a post on vwvortex) i told him it was the same guy, xxx something. He said he got the pipes from you! small world i guess.

btw- nice job getting the bov off
