Anyone looking for a sound engine, poss for a FI project should check this out on Ebay, £550 reserve, not usual skag had alot done to it and can be delivered. Item number: 300321718836 or search for 'VW 16v engine'. Sorry but i do not know how to do links! :cuckoo:

Excellent, looks like a good buy. Any ideas where I can get spacer gaskets for the 1.8 block??

Go to german ebay and search for 16V Turbo Ansaugbrücke, this will bring up a few.

I've just read this entire thread.... ouch my head hurts!! :gag: Armed to the teeth with 16VT info now though. Attempting a 'modest' 250hp budget build on a 1.8 valver. I'm on the hunt for a T3, as good nick as poss, hopefully get something VW/Audi? Found a Kinetic cast turbo manifold with w/gate tapping from the US, and inlet manifold from german Ebay. Thought i'd buy fresh than modify OEM for peace of mind. Plenty of Merc Sprinters and old Volvo's down the local scrapyards so i know where i'm gettin the intercooler and oil cooler from. 38mm 'V Type' wastegates and BOV's on ebay. Mate has access to a good selection of new hosing and induction parts. Having a bit of grief finding spacer gaskets though to lower the compression, anyone know where to get these at all :confused4: ??? Have also found an ebay seller supplying all types of fuel and oil hosing looks like good quality stuff. Plenty more things to source yet but this threads been fookin amazing help nice one you boost beasts! :)

Thats bad news. This seems to happen alot now. My mates brother had his porka 911 keys nicked off his coffee table, but to make matters worse his lil 8 year old daughter was asleep on the sofa at the time! Not good. And also a fella from work had 2 'kids' throw a plant pot thru his window, in broad daylight, chase his missus upstairs and then speed off down the road in his Mk5 Gti... the police have chased it twice in Northampton now but the gits drive it so dangerously they have to back off for safety reasons. Anyway enough ranting, best of luck finding your pride and joy.
