1984 Jetta , TDI WE MUST! (1.9 AHU M-TDI)

[8v-of-fury]

On top of all the other crap I got, I also ordered some 1987 Scirocco calipers and brackets. I have vented discs and pads already from my 1998 Jetta that I got my AHU from. I could have used the calipers too.. but these ones were German remans and came with brackets for nearly the same price as getting brackets by themselves. $78 a piece ! Yes. I have driven the big beast, with its 55ft trailer in tow.

So a deal fell through for the Scirocco spindles.. and my 10.1 brake idea was scrapped. Returned those calipers, and for less money (!!!) Bought new calipers, discs and pads for a vented 9.4 setup. I also took this time to bleed the system completely with DOT4 and put my SS brake lines in.





I also tried on some 20" rims, just to see what it'd look like..



Look at my poor compressor wheel She ate something somewhere..

That turbo damage sucks!  I bet it still boosts okay though.  Lots of k03's out there but might be an opportunity to try something different.

[8v-of-fury]

Been that way since I got it.. Catlins got a VNT-15 coming my way

Lol@thatturbo.

Lol@thatturbo.

She makes great power despite its size.. really. Especially non-cooled where it is a super short intake tract. I needs an IC in there though.

Going to mount the battery in the trunk, and do the stock mk3 SMIC where the battery was. Maybe do a hood scoop, or something.. I dunno.

Everyone hates, because EVERYONE looks for peak power ability .

Here is the price list, and part numbers for that brake setup if you are interested. Altrom was the supplier me thinks. I paid less money for pads, rotors and calipers!! then those 10.1 calipers lol.

Why didn't you use those 16v carriers and calipers?  They bolt onto your stock steering knuckles. All you would have needed were 10.1" discs and pads.

I used to have 10.1s on my jetta but i took them off to run 13d. I just think its funny how screwed up that compressor wheel is.  Ko3 is a great little turbo

[8v-of-fury]

Yeah no. Those calipers werent fitting stock knuckles. 3/4" difference on the carrier bolt pattern.

[ToddA1]

You didn't have the correct carriers.  S2 16v carriers are a direct swap; I've been doing it for years.  You may have had A2/A3 carriers.

[8v-of-fury]

Those were 1987 scirocco brakes. Identical to the mk3 stuff i have.

[RabbitJockey]

scirocco 16v stuff bolts straight up just uses different carriers.

[8v-of-fury]

The knuckle needs to be changed to cabriolet or rocco.

My stock is the smaller bolt pattern.

[ToddA1]

You got sent the wrong stuff. All Sciroccos from the 70s and 80s are based on the A1 chassis. The entire suspension, power plants and driveline is interchangeable with Rabbits and Jettas from the same era. 

I just sold a set of S2 16v carriers to someone a few weeks back and I haven't heard a complaint of ill fitment.  There are a few sets for sale in the vortex classifieds. 

I've been running 10.1" brakes on my A1s on A1 knuckles for 2 decades, with no issues.
