What did you do today to your 3/S?

[james92tsi]

Awesome

Test shot looks good.

I'm going to do my interior next now that the car is pretty much mechanically done. I’d like to do something like this.

Thanks! LED forum on hidplanet is full of good stuff, cool projects, etc. I blame them for making me want to do cool shit with lighting (both LED and HID... maybe one of these days the HID stuff will be on the car).

Thought about posting it up for sale

Thought about posting it up for sale

Shopping for a bare 4 bolt block and cylinder heads. No, I haven't blown my original engine; just planning ahead

[Boomer3000]

I mean I happen to have a spare Block/built short block laying around...and quite possibly a thread on it....

[JasonY]

Very nice Jason! I'm Jelly lol.

Thanks, will be the first person other than Trevor running a GTX garrett on this platform..i have high hopes. At 20psi these flow basically 28RS hp, but stay efficient and over 40lbs flow at 3.5+ PR

didn't know Matt sold turbos that he didn't design. Those look badass . Did they cost more than 1200s??

He can get anything you want, you just need to ask They are basically the same price as the 1200's, just 350 less ho potential..lol

Sweet! Billet wheels right?

Yeah, 10 blade billet wheel and standard GT28 wheel on the back end.

Had my eyes on those - I have some brand new 2860s with custom manifolds in my shed... just need to build the rest of the car up to take them, so will be watching your build thread if you make one Should be a fun car !

I hope so, i got gun shy on building my car around the super high end TD04 since the only place to go from there was backwards in the future. I will be making a thread on this, but when i get all the parts in so its an active thread there shit is actually getting done. A slow summer at work has slown my down big time on moving forward with the car.

They look like they could eat small children!!

-John

They look big since Garrett uses such big housings for burst containment. They a 3" in and 2" out, but yeah, compared to a TD05 or TD04 they are huge

Can't wait to see it come together in the future! Should be fun. U planning on running a stroker ? Most people are going big boy now days lol. My next build will be a big boy lol.

[JasonY]

Nah, no stroker for this build. The cost isnt just the engine, its everything else that needs to added to support the extra power.

Maybe in the future.

I'm getting old and there are so many more enjoyable things to spend money on, suddenly blowing 35k on a car doesnt seem as appealing anymore

Lol I hear yea. Either way it will still be a blast.

Yeah that's probably why my stroker is sitting bagged in the basement not being used. Lol. I'll revisit a bigger build in the future but not yet. 600AWHP TD04s for now and then something more when I get some fabrication practice in with my TIG welder. I'm curious to see how those turbos perform on your motor. I have a feeling I'll want quick spool in a large T3 frame turbo.

[DuTTch]

took my front turbo out to change out the header to the gtech one,broke a stud ofcourse.
