Alright pal, i've literally just registered, and first off. The polo looks sick!
Secondly, i've been watching a AGU Lump on ebay for the past couple of days. Funny how i now find someone doing the same conversion

Will be nice to see how you get on with it

Very Nice Mate

are you going for the sleeper look I take it?
What's your power plans? I pressume that 150bhp lump will be tuned to over 200?

Sleeper look most definitely - Should have more fun that way
Oh yes - I'm running it as standard for now and upgrading as I go. My aim is to push it definitely over 200 possibly near the 250 mark.. Thinking about power to weight, it shouldn't be too hard.. but any more than that I'll start considering it to be a fair bit dangerous for my liking...
Have a fair few upgrades in mind, but u'll all have to wait and see..
Aiming to get this car ready for ED38 if anyone wants to take a peek..

Today the mounts were fabricated and now the engine is sitting without the need of a hoist
Next is to shorten the driveshafts

Mine used to be 8v, so was a lot less than 75bhp anyway..

A custom made exhaust and an upgrade front mount intercooler will add a few ponys anyways fella. Take it you need to custom make these anyways????
K04 would be amazing lol... Breaking an s3 is what you need to search for ha...

S3 or tt225

the aug lumps arĂȘte as great as the bam engines which were from the 225 tt's but you're on the way mate got a lot of potential so excited to see this thing go. Don't know if anyone saw fast car this month? 6n with twin turbo 600bhp

It is tight as it is, K04 is going to be a lot of head scratching again - At the moment I'm concentrating at getting it running in there standard and then taking upgrades from there.
