SINGLE turbo build

Thanks, I really appreciate the kind words, I have been gathering parts or working on this project for 2 years, so to see it this close is exciting

Badass, not how I would have done the secondary but still cool. Interested to see how it spools.

Soooo sexy.

‘He doesn’t always drive an Audi, but when he does, it’s fucking fast.’

Can’t wait to ride shotgun in this bitch. With you behind the wheel there is no doubt this thing will be pushed to the absolute limit.

+1 for a true guru.

P.S - silver is gonna be faster than yellow soon :wink:

Does that mean you finally took the plunge and picked up some RS6 snails?

No Rs6’ - I wanted the R version, but am too impatient. It looks like I have a new donor, and am switching to the dark side. Vr6T…

What’d you hear about those RS6r turbos (assuming you spoke to JHM)? There seems to be a vacuum of information around those.

Aha, then I have some time yet, VR swaps don’t happen in a weekend

I haven’t spoke to JHM, but followed relatively closely until a couple weeks ago. After some quick reading tonight it looks like they may be out sooner than later?

I’d like to stay with the APB, but I think the Vr6 is a more convenient motor to work on. Not everyone can take the motor out, install turbos, and then re-install before lunch, Mantis. Hahahaha

Check out nycvr6’s thread here in the b5 section. Pretty epic build.

Justin’s build is beyond epic, it should be one of the fastest B5’s ever down the 1/4

Looks like I will be flat decking this home at the end of the week, I can start final assembly/paint . Still a couple of things to deal with, the harness, power steering lines, PS res, Coolant res, some other odds and ends

jesus everything with this car looks so heavy metal hardcore. I think my arm could fit in that pipe. What diameter is that?

3.5", you could probably stuff your forearm in

I am taking the car back into my possession tomorrow, I still have to complete the wiring harness, the engine bay fueling and the cooling/power steering plumbing.

That shiny tubing is immense. Love it!

I will be there tomorrow to check this bad boy out.

Very sick car BB!

Heading to the circus with the family, quick pic of the motor in my garage, put together with the turbo kit installed

Looking awesome bud! I’ll give you a shout if I’m gonna drop by.

Sounds good, I will be having Mike Boldt by later tonight for a proper photo shoot. Expect some hi res pics in the near future
