Tacos 4KTQ I0vt Swap: The Red Baron - buying parts again
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2012 9:30 pm
If you are reading this message, there's a good chance you haven't been through this before so here goes: The build thread is full of pictures, how tos, banter, back stabbing, 20v hating, bs, more bs, and overall some good laughs. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me on here.
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:
