Well, I'm having a hard time finding a local mechanic/machine shop to clean up some old long blocks. So how about a few perrformance rebuilds on my 1.6td blocks? Just curious if you can quote me on 3 long block w/ hydraulic lifters rebuilds, fire ringed, slightly lower compression(so I can make big turbo whistle), metal headgasketed, port and polished, blueprint and balanced. The whole shebang three times over, All three need AC pump deleted. engines will be mounted in my 79 rabbit, 84 rabbit, and 90 cabriolet. ThankstSoG
Hopefully I'll come away with a good feeling, we'll see. I've had too many letdowns from monkey machine shops in the past.Dr. D.
I would be interested in a nice 3" downpipe for an AHU TDI engine in a 95 GTI body. Basically a 3" pipe for an MK3 chassis as i am planning to run either a T3 or a GT2056v.Let me know if you are up to the task and how much? Not looking to spend a fortune though as i can find a 2.5 one easily.

I'd need your car in the shop, with the turbo you want installed.Here's a 3 incher I built for a turbo G60 rabbit. That was done with a MIG welder. Now I'm blessed with a TIG. And, a snakey 2.5" wiggled into a passat syncro TD:I'd expect 6-8 hours, plus materials. Stainless, while supposedly more durable, is significantly more expensive. I personally have had great success with mild steel, properly braced and anti-corrosion coated.Details sent though PM
Nice hat, but you sounded a lot taller over the telephone..........
