![]() I've been looking at the Garrett GT2056 (the wastegate version) - its map seems to fit my needs pretty well at least on the compressor side. I MIGHT spring for a new turbo if I can find something really tasty. I'm also sniffing around for a turbo - ideally I really don't want to take Jezzie out of service until I have everything ready to drop in. I did tell them I will be hauling a trailer fairly regularly though. I was kind of surprised by their clutch recommendation - seems pretty beefy. Bosio Race 520's with Stage 1 Flow Calibrated injectors.I contacted KermaTDI yesterday to see what their recommendations were for nozzles, cam and clutch for my stated power goals: I should be DEBT FREE by about May which means I'll have a lot more money for toys - it's going to be pretty trippy not having to sign away part of my paycheque to the bank every month. I'm super excited to get cracking on this project. Yep, talked to Andrew about a pump already! Hopefully this weekend the head will be coming off and then the fun stuff starts! But I have got my work space more or less set up, which is a great start! The only thing I've bought so far is a PD150 intake with EGR delete pipe. I don't have the head pulled yet so I'm holding off buying too many parts - if it turns out the block is crap or whatever then I'll be starting from zero again. ![]() Get my K24 rebuilt (or find another turbo suitable for 20-25 PSI) ![]() ![]() Get the engine built up - targeting about 150-200HP Find someone to do some porting on my head Get everything stripped and off to the machine shop Sell off the ECU, K03, EGR stuff, manifolds It came fairly complete, though the wiring harness is a bit hacked up (it was cut off at the firewall by someone a little too eager to get the engine out of the car). I picked up an AHU a few weeks ago that I'm just starting to strip down. Seems I'm attached to Jezebel, so I decided to start working on a new drivetrain. I know my 1.6TD is getting a bit long in the tooth - it runs fantastically and pulls great but I figured I should either decide to buy a different car, or start working on a new drivetrain for her. So I've put quite a bit of time and effort in to her!! She's got about 330,000km on the odometer now, she had 260,000 when I got her. I replaced the carpets, put down soundproofing and swapped in an interior from another Jetta that we have. Fixed the cruise control and the sunroof. In the time that I've owned her I've cleaned up most of the crap problems that she came with - I put new coil springs in all 4 corners, brakes have been done, tires were done a few years ago, she's got a 2 1/2" exhaust system from the back end of the stock AAZ downpipe back, Bilstein HD shocks and a monster AWIC. I didn't know enough about VW diesels at the time to spot the differences. I bought her nearly 5 years ago now, she came to me with a 1.6TD engine in her bay instead of the AAZ I thought I was buying. Ok, here I go!! This build is going to take some time as I'm not in any particular rush nor am I particularly flush with cash - I have a 1-month old baby here at home and I figured I needed a project that let me have some "me" time but keeps me around the house.Īnyhow, some of you who've been on here for a long time have probably seen Jezebel Jetta.
