Soooooooooooo, I figured it was time to start the build thread. I started collecting parts for this back in November, which was when I decided to start doing the Turbo swap because I was sick and tired of my car being slower than shit. My Hot Rod pickup has been down for 1 year now due to a blown transmission, so the most logical thing to do was start sinking all my money into a turbo motor for my DD
Here is what I'm using:
Stock, unmolested 135k mile MC1 out of an '86 5000cs Turbo Quattro
I'm hoping to be in the 250+hp range when I'm done. Kinda pisses me off because I'm thinking it's going to be faster then my Hot Rod Dakota R/T. :bullshits:
