97 TSi AWD high power Street/Drag

Parts are done at the powder-coaters!

Newly coated parts look even better in an engine bay! Finally getting close to driving this thing. I've got it at a local performance shop getting a few last things done (fuel system, misc AN and vacuum lines, turbo lines) and should be getting it back in a week or so. Then all that's left is wiring up the gauge sensors and firing it up!

Second 255 mocked up

It runs! It's missing an O2 bung plug and has an untuned SD map so it sounds like crap.

Don't sell it dude.

Man love the build! Great job!

A++++ on Fabrication my friend. That is def some top notch work.

 

[Rocketman1000R]

Great job!

This update has been a long time coming! After a bunch of setbacks over the last few months, the Talon finally lives! Ended up replacing the blackbox ecu with an AEM EMS V2. Right now it's running a very conservative break in tune: 5800rpm rev limit, 18psi boost limit (w/g spring pressure) and it made 290awhp on a mustang dyno.

Put around 500km on it so far and it's running great!

Shout out to Lowell and the rest of the guys at Racing Greed for getting me to the end stage of this build! Can't wait to see how it does when it's broken in!

Not at the moment but I'll be bringing it back to RG in April for a full tune hopefully!

Car looks great!

Glad to see the MK3 Golf/GTi radiator fits with the VRSF FMIC, I planned to do it with my car.

 

[Doubleot]

So glad you got it fixed man!

AWESOME BUILD! One of my new favorites.

Do you have any more pictures of the car being back together and on the road? Love that engine bay set up.


Keep up the great work!

If your vc was cut with a cnc why is it so wavy? Everything looks stellar! Definitely some cash in this build!! I would love to do something like this but I can't stand it when my car is not running. Keep up the good work dude!

Looks great man, nice fab work!

Thanks! I'm running an upgraded radiator for a MK3 VW Golf and it fits inside of the rad support with some custom mounts.

Can you post a few pictures of the radiator setup? I'm looking to do the same thing. Thanks, and sweet build!

I'll try and get some soon once I've given it a good clean! Just got it insured again the other day.

Not sure, I'm thinking maybe it wasn't taken down as far as it could be.

I'll try and get some soon, in the middle of final exams and a move right now.

I think I'm going to have to pull off the valve cover and add some baffling in front of the AN ports, I'm losing way too much oil to the catch can right now. I wish I'd had my fab guy put them on top of the cover instead. Lesson learned.

Bringing this thread back to life. I would really like to see more pics and info regarding this radiator setup!
