How much more work do you have before she's running?

basically whats holding me up is a bunch of wires that idk where they go, and im waiting on money to get the remaining small parts like o2 sensor, map sensor, oil and coolant, window switch, fix the horn in the steering wheel, hope the turbo doesnt leak coolant anymore once i put new washers in, then other small bits like fender liners.

i gave up on the trans polish and battery relocate, cant be bothered, i want it running. im on low budget so fuck it.

and i hope to get another turbo blanket soon to manage heat, the last one didnt last too long with all the removals of the turbo.

Good luck Greg.

yay, i miss it tho

I miss my mk6. I loved that car. But I also love my miata.

Can we get some more photos of the GTI? Maybe some further out photos.

i swapped the washers around, im assuming the thicc washer goes next to the turbo and skinny washer goes next to banjo bolt. that should fix the leak.

only waiting on a few parts now: shift linkage part, o2 sensor, bolt for dv,sensor for throttle body pipe, more coolant, oil change, then some interior work.

Almost there, Greg!

What's the history on the MK6, Why did it come apart? Looks pretty sweet!

my turbro went bad, i replaced the hot side from a stock ko4 and linked it up to my apr cold side. i also replaced the water pumper as well. the whole project took too long but im just putting it all back together and not doing anymore custom work. i just wanna drive the car again. i lived in germany so i drove the car really hard, also there was a broke fitting on my n75 valve that i discovered when i pulled the turbro. so either one of those things may have caused the turbro failure.

oh i pulled the intake manifold off to diagnose the coolant drip, turns out the pipe going to teh water pumper wasnt tight, so i fixed that and put intake mani back on. not too bad, atleast i didnt have to mess with the pesky intake pipe again.

Dat robust MK6 platform, prime for a K04 kit.

in Germany sounds 5/7!

yeah it was ko4 already, i got a good deal on the stock ko4 to use for parts. i hope the wastegate is set correctly

I hope you can get it up running, the car looks very sweet! I'd probably cave and tow it to a local modz shop.

I always wanted those headrests in my GTI. Looking good man. Come rebuild mine when you're done with yours. Thanks.
