Here is a link to the build thread on vwvortex,

R32 Turbo Build

 

Thanks for sharing.

I've had my GTI for 10 days and I fell like I am going to get in more trouble than either of my Porsches.


Just so much fun to toss around.

Best of luck with the build.

 

Thanks man, this should be close to 500awhp when done. Should be an extremely easy car to get into trouble with

 

Awaiting my powdercoated and ceramic coated stuff still, then final assembly can begin. Headspacer is in, getting anxious

 

what a terrific build and thanks for all the details.

 

Thanks man, hoping to see you at Wunderwagens

 

Just got an R32 ('08) with 23k miles. Love it. Getting more seat time than the 911 turbo.

 

Haha there fun cars man. My single biggest recomendation other than a united motorsports tune is a set of cams. it woke my car up so much!!!

 

Don't know why, but I'm thinking of some D2FORGED MB1 monoblocks in challenge gold on this build! Great looking project btw. some things done are really interesting. What kind of use are you expecting with this? Any track running or just street ride?

 

Those are exactly the kind of wheels it will have on, i like the concave faces on those. With the show and this build im flat broke, so now wheels for now. The car will only be on 9psi until after wunderwagens. Then it will be on 15psi and about 500awhp. Ide like to get onto a road course with it, but that wont happen until next summer. It will see a few passes on the strip just to see what it will do, payed the extra money for launch control and no lift shift in my tune

 

Always enjoy seeing threads like these. I remember an AWD Golf R32 from a few years ago, the speed and ease with which it attained speed was just crazy. How is the sound compared to stock? Did you consider going with a supercharged instead of a turbocharged setup to keep that nice R32 sound with the ride? As for the wheels, just my opinion, the suggestion I posted would look great on this, with more concavity!

 

Superchargers dont perform well enough unless your going with a rotrex. This car will have dual side exits before the rear tires(cut skirts...will look good) and an open dump. The sound of this will be plenty enough to put a smile on my face haha.

How the car sounded before:




Thats with high flow cats we custom welded to the oem peice, and a stock exhaust with resonator delete and flapper mod

 

Wow! Really impressed with the sound and the throttle response. Did you leave the stock flywheel there or went with something more lighter?

 

stock dual mass flywheel
