looks good different but good

Different is what it's all about fella! Vr's are a bit naff nowadays, abf's are ok but are only na and i could'nt afford a 20vt, so just kinda fitted what ever i could get hold of.

top marks for ingenuity wouldnt have thought of it myself stuck in the same way 20vt are too expensive and vr6 is commonplace

shame its out of a vauxhall but 10 out of 10 for effort

Thats cool.

Was it dificult to do? Would be cool to post roughly how you did it and any problems you came across on the way.You were right in the other thread...something I've not seen before!!

Cheers for the appreciation lads, it was'nt that hard to do really, I could do the same to a mk1 or vento if antone wanted.
Any one want me to do a step by step guide to how to do the conversion? It isn't a short list of jobs!

I like it

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

How could you thats sacraligeous!. Only joking mate.

Theres some clever engineering gone into that. Its good someones thinking outside the box and its a turbo lump aswell!.

How long did it take you to do it?.

What bhp you running?.

Cheers tommy, like the nooooooooooooooooooooo!
It took a couple of months to get to where it is now, only gotta make an exhaust system and chuck a cambelt kit on then it's off for an mot.
I'm pretty suprised no one else has done this conversion, weirdly it were'nt as hard i thought it would be, plus you got the choice of the f28 6spd box to. Im guessing you guys do the whole run what you brung at the pod? Would be cool ass funk to see more than one jetta in one place! The guy i got the lump off told me its between 250-270 bhp so that should be fun!

Good thinkin codeye ,defenaitly different,It should go like stink when it's up and running,me and my bro in law fitted the 16v non turbo in to a nova years ago and it was scary fast!!
Bet you could give a few "superior" cars a fright!

Nova red tops are ballistic, turbo or not! Im really not sure what it's going to go like i have'nt really got anything to conpare it to! Am really looking foward to showing up some quick cars tho!

250-270bhp, thats gunna fly!.

Am looking forward to seeing it at a show.

You taking it to any shows this year?.

Yeah it should fly, hoping for about 160mph as it has the six speed box, who knows!? I might take it to a couple of shows, mostly santa pod to show up some so called quick machinery!
Couple more shots for you, before and after a burn out.

that is totally awesome. can't wait to see it.

That looks like a really neat package, I think if it wasn't for many VW's sharing common mounting alot more people would do this. The Vauxhall red top are one of the best 2.0L valver engines and this turbo one must be awesome. Especially with the 6 speed box. Very impressive.

LIKEING your jetta VERY MUCH.
Have you got any Video footage of it?? would be interested to see any

Cheers

Also i would be interested in the build.
Would be great if you could do a thread of the installation.

Cheers

Youre gunna catch quite a few people out with that!.

You gotta take it to gti international and take it up the strip.

What engine management you runnig on it?.

Sorry bout the late reply, I don't have any video of it yet as it's not quite done yet, my plan is to get it done by 13th of july ready for volksfest at northweld airfield in essex.
I could do a write up of the whole installation as you requested it won't be a small thread thats for sure! i'd like to build another maybe in a mk2 golf or mk1 jetta if any one wanted?
I may take it to gti this year not sure when it is tho. It's running a stock ecu but has a remapped chip and boost controller fitted to run up to 18psi, or so i was told by the guy i got the lump from!

So, is it done?

It's great when we see something different.

Mate, that is pretty mental. Gonna be balls out too. I had an astra gsi redtop and that was rapid, Ive had alot of rides in cavalier/calibra turbos and they are just unreal. There used to be a Vauxhall breakers yard in Knockholt, Kent but its gone now (I was there saturday boy back in the day).

Wow! Vauxhaull r not it's an engine with great potential! Live the look of the car too well done

wow the best thing vauxhall have really ever done into a jetta love it!!
