Let me start off by saying this probably wont be updated that frequently since it takes me forever to find the time to work on the car... but that being said, here is what I have so far and what I'm currently planning and gathering parts for...
He's the car and engine mods so far... I've decided to upgrade this to a "build thread" to shorten my sig.
Black 2009 Jetta TDI with 02Q
Mods done:
Malone stage 2 tune, Rawtek down pipe and catted & resonated mid-pipe, Borla cat-back, Allard HP EGR delete, aFe pro-dry intake, LP EGR delete, S3 intercooler, Sachs Racing Clutch, GTI Bi-xenon lights, highline CECM, euro Audi TT short shifter, GTI shift knob, New South vent-pod, RCD-510, 2micron HPFP protection, Panzer plate, VW Sport springs, Energy Suspension dogbone insert, aluminum Passat control arms, S3 LCA bushings, Hotchkis FSB and RSB @ 105% and 200%, Plasti-dipped grills, and MK6 GTI seats.
Planned upgrades... once winter leaves... eventually.
CR170 turbo hybrided with 2056 internals, Euro turbo intake tube (required with CBBB turbo, already at home), Darkside hard pipe I/C pipes, 4 bar MAP sensor, Neuspeed turbo outlet, Update to Malone custom tune, GTI brakes.... and eventually (finally) install the front GTI seats.
While it isnt a GTB2260VK kit I'm estimating it should be good for a rough estimated 220hp with a conservative tune.
I originally started the plan as a "budget" CR170 turbo upgrade with a used CBBB turbo for about $1000 total with just a CR170 turbo and a custom tune looking for about 200hp, but obviously I decided to go a different route... the advantage of the CR170 turbo is it is a virtually direct bolt on and will work with the Rawtek exhaust I currently have without modifications.
I've been trying to keep track of the costs of the turbo build since I've bought most everything second hand...
Turbo ~ $250
Rebuild and modify ~ $1050
S3 Intercooler - $300 shipped
Clutch and DMF ~ too low to advertise
Euro turbo intake ~ $45
Neuspeed outlet - $135
Retune plus dyno time - ???
EGR cooler delete - $2
Total cost so far (w/o clutch) - $1780... I'm estimating everything (minus shipping and existing mods) ~ $3000
