A complete GTD intercooler setup would be cool.

I'm doing the same thing... not contacting your uncle about a V10, but talking to some importers about finding myself a V6 AKN to go in the QSW.
Bet the V10 would fit, though. It'd be like having two I5s in there! No room for anything else... :shock:
Be a slick little sleeper, though. "Dude! You just got
smoked by a DIESEL WAGON!"
But the V6 should fill in my requirements nicely.

if you're looking for stuff to make some $$ on, KR 16v engines' intake manifolds (60mm) and intake cams are always good sellers. Especially if the throttle body is on the driver side.
Also rare E-code headlights like A1 jetta (with grille and maybe turn signals)
rallye golf. I'd be happy to get a pair of good OE E-code headlights for a B3 passat.

Right, I forgot!
Maybe someone will chime in with a suggestion... I'm looking to ditch the ugly boxy headlights on the Q. Looking for something in a quad round look, with replaceable lamps instead of sealed beam units so I can go the HID route for high-beams/interstate night-driving lights.
Anyone know anything that'll fit the bill? If not, I might have to modify some BMW headlights... You find it, I'll buy it!

Whats a Q? Quantum? that the same as a Passat?
I try to jump on anything interesting I see, I go to a fair few VW shows..
I have already sent out 3 IDI non turbo manifolds to the US, just sending a JX (Vanagon TD) injection pump out and a oil filter housing with built in oil cooler for the MKI Golf GTI (A1 rabbit)
I have just raped a Passat of it's AAZ today and sent it down the road to get squashed! We don't get sentimental about knackered old cars here!

Yeah, Quantum. Not exactly a Passat, more like the Passat's daddy. Only reason I'm sentimental about this one is it's Syncro and in pretty good shape overall.

I'd think it'd be good to import a bunch of later 1.6TD injection pumps. Here in the US, I don't think we got a lot of the later ones that had some nice features to better adjust the residual fueling and cold start high idle. I believe some of the later ones had slightly different LDA's as well.
Anyway, it'd be good to get some from Europe to provide people with good bases for mods, etc. I had to get one from Canada to send to Giles...

Once I have finished messing with the SB/RA JX and AAZ pumps I seem to be hoarding I will let some go!
If I see them at good money I buy them! I got 2 boxes under the bench just rammed full of old pumps.
