We played aorund with the conical taper on the dual plenum, but it doesn't lend itself to a front mount radiator or vac brake setup. A side entry is a better shot, and will be a smoother transition into the main plenum while giving all cylinders a better shot at smooth air.
Yep, those are good reasons.

Thanks Dave.. It is really nice cutting parts out on the CNC router table, as parts come off ready to weld without any clean up. Very nice fit up and that is 90% of being a good welder.

Holy shit Hank! What the hell are you trying to do? Get an engineering job with Audi?

So let me get this straight. The 07k is a stout motor ready to handle good amounts of boost, correct? And Sean's is getting internals done? How much insanity are we hoping for here?!?
I can't wait for BBQ this year

Good lord, I might as well scrap my car

Wow. I think most of us will have to turn the boost up just to keep the tail lights on this thing visible

Considering other 07K'd cars (vw Golfs/jettas) that make 4 digit numbers, this set up to my lame eyes looks like 800+hp. Maybe more?

I think the bottleneck is between the flywheel and the tires, not sure what they've been up to there.

Yes please!
Got any spare 07K's sitting around with a forged crank? I might be convinced to take one home with me at the BBQ.

With the frequency of the appearance of the forged crank good luck with hank letting one go. ;-). Looking good. Cant wait for my vc and other parts so I can play catch up!

Looking great guys !!
Interesting to see that you opted to go front mount on the radiator.
Looking forward to updates
Craig.

Craig. With the room available itd be crazy not to. How thick is the ic core hank? Fits behind the trim and tidy urq bumper I assume?
Re: I took the BLUE Pill. Engine bay painted
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2013 12:05 pm
That is a 4" core. Could have done 4.5" pretty easily. Core support is 100% untouched

Makes sense Jim.
I think the turbo is a bit on the small side....
