just wondering if anybody lived in georgia and if you were interested in having a GTG sometime? If yes lets talk and figure out a time and a place. ;D
-
Not sure where in Ga you are I have a gtg at my shop in jax fl once a year. I am shooting for april next year. I usually have rocketchip come and tune cars too.
-
ohh cool i live about 40 minutes above atlanta but i might be able to make it. It really depends on if i have the money to or not but i should be able to make it!
-
I'm in Savannah right now. Of course I am going to loose my job at the end of the year, and who knows where I will end up.
-
To Jack's Lack: hey man i didnt know that you lived in Ga i loved the video of your AAZ swap are you selling it??
-
I don't plan on selling the car at this point. The "for sale" link is for parts I have for sale that are left over from the swap and other various mods. Also thanks, I'm glad you liked the video. It does not scrape anymore because I finally rolled my fenders diy style with a rubber mallet. It worked like a charm.

ohh ok good to hear man and i am building a GTI from ground up and putting a 1.6TD with a 1.9 AAZ head on it jusy trying to see how much power i can get out of the little 1.6TD, and i have a 4Dr. rabbit that i just want to put a a stock 1.6TD cause im using it as my daily but i cant find a 1.6TD for sale for cheap i found one with 5000 miles on it and he wants like $2,700 for the motor but idk!!

Yeah TD engines are hard to find in the states, and it is especially bad here in the southeast. You will be lucky if you find a working turbo mill for less than $2K anywhere near here. If you do get one that needs to be rebuilt you can easily spend that money on parts building your engine. It is insane how these things can nickel and dime you to death. My point is if the $2700 engine is legit and has receipts to prove it then I would highly recommend you consider it if you can scrape that kind of coin together.
As for how much power you can make Dave at Passenger Performance (935racer on here iirc) made 200HP on one, but it didn't last long. I think a lot of people on here get to the 150HP range just by turning the fuel and boost up.
-
his didn't last because of a faulty injector. Sad it was a maintenance item and not over boost. MJF in Finland had one in the 250 range that failed too. IIRC it was a maintenance item that caused it to go as well.
-
ohh ok i might to decide to invest in getting a 1.9 AAZ and i do kno where a jetta coupe with a diesel in it but they said it was siezed but i dont think it would be worth rebuilding and i kno where a diesel rabbit L is but idk what engine it has or wat is wrong with it!!
