you are my inspiration, I can only hope to achieve half of what you will.

I may have to move to Finland to finish my work on the engine.

Wow. Has any done this before on a VW diesel?
Holy belts batman. There is a ton of them. Looks awesome though. What do you think it will do and how long?
looks pretty close to what I plan on building...
may I ask what style of crank nose that motor is using?
also, what kind of turbo is strapped back there?
looks good!

Good God that engine is amazing. This will be a beast!
NICE work, my man. The attention to detail is fantastic. You've gotta post a video of the first run.
I mean are you using the TDI D-shaped crank nose, or the AAZ nose, or something else
(the interface between the crankshaft and timing belt sprocket)

TuboJ, don't overlook some kind of supporting bracket for your manifold turbo & downpipe as im sure they are VERY heavy. You dont want to pull all that weight on those manifold studs if you can avoid it.
torque is a powerful thing. and in this scenario im not refering to the torque of the engine but the mass of the turbo & downpipe on the lever arm which is the manifold.
How is the injection pump attached to the block?
the AAZ(or is it the TDI) pump mount only attaches to the front of the block, not to the end too like the 1.6
Yes there will be bracing for the manifolds..
Aki's work is little short of phenomenal (as usual...) but it'll be more interesting still when that car is running. I'll be the first one in queue to have a run

I will shortly finish my engine too, I now have the H-Profiles ready to go. I just have to get a CIS swap done on my daily first.
About Aki's work; there is really only one problem. When I see all the cool parts and mods he's doing to his engines, I instantly want to have them too

Well, I never said there isn't going to be an Evo2 build!
BTW, Aki, Jouni will be bringing you the GTI head with him next weekend - great to have you for help!
