Polo BT Build pictures

Here's another ongoing customer project.
Big strap on Turbo into an ickle Polo.

tacked up off the car (having been on and off the car dozens of times checking and fettling)


Cobra looking downpipe



New 38mm External compact Tial wastegate

 

Charge pipework and FMIC install progress
SEM Gen1 inlet manifold and R32 t'body





Large FMIC

Stealthy FMIC

 

Thats tight but what a sleeper when done!

 

very tight front & back of engine bay.

 

Solid engine mounts needed?

 

deffo needs firm mounts and a snubber/damper of some sorts may be needed also.

 

400+bhp from it

 

Lol, that's gonna be one fun little polo.

 

thats fantastic!

some excellent manifolds & packaging comes out of the Badger5 workshop Bill!

 

thankyou. I do try.

 

some long overdue updated piccies..
chargepipework 95% complete..









As much as possible is done in hardpipe. longest single piece of chargepipe I have made yet, lol.
keeps joiners to a minimum.. eveyr join is a possible weakness/leak in service. just 4 joins in this lot and 2 hardpipes

 

couple more.. final oil drain and coolant feeds..
off the car again prior to sending to Zircotec for ceramic coating.

 

some v impressive work there Bill

 

Nice

 

What flavour of turbo is that? I guess T series 57Trim?

It'd be a great motor that - Stealth Polo

 

its along those lines, roller bearing chra tho

 

updated
update.. back from zircotec now. pre-assembled to check and finish oil drain line before final build onto car when engine mounts come back this next coming week

 

awesome work

 

fair play to the owner for wanting such a nutty car and mucho repsect to bill for making it a reality

Just a quick question if you don't mind.......why does the external wastegate piping (post wastegate side) join the downpipe where it does??

 

looks like a jet engine!!!!
