I hope to take out my 2.0 420a engine and trans and rebuild it for turbo strong enough to handle at least 500hp. I’m not sure what all to use to rebuild the whole engine (and trans if necessary). The whole car has 132,000 miles on it. Trans shifts good engine ran fine until head gasket went bad. It has been ran on for about 8 months but only gave trouble ran over 45min then throttle would fall and sputter very bad. It has rust in the usual spots but especially inside the front driver side piller down to the bottom. The engine bay needs a good clean and there is a small patch of chipped rust on the wheel well. It’s a hard choice to make with working on this one, or buying a gst to fix up and personalize. Because either way I want to achieve 500hp and cost lots of money. Just don’t know which way would be best, not too risky, or costly.
