Original plan was 12:1 compression, worked 16V cylinder head and 4 individual carbs with velocity stacks.

But that's all changed now; the client wants forced induction so I've swapped the high-compression pistons for some 8:1 pistons out of the 8V motor (flycut for intake valves).

PICS UP SOON

NEW PICS!!!

Coming along slowly (I've got lotsa cars to build!) I now built the top-mount turbo header and started building the chargepiping. I will be using no intercooler, but multi-stage water/methanol injection, with a custom intake-manifold.

Custom dump-pipe almost done. 2" flared-out to 2.5" all mandrel curves. Still lacking final welds and the 3-bolt turbo flange.

Started making trial intake manifold. This one's made of steel and it's just a dummy-mani so I just arc-welded it up; nothing fancy. The final mani will be aluminium and TIG-welded together.

Hey man, thats a nice job you guys are doing. So you guys do custom works on all kinds of v-dubs? I have a Jetta mk2 that I want to convert into the carburators, or turbo it. How much do you guys charge to do that???
