500 hp project

More wastegate sound more like

Weird that photo showing WG output taken all the way to rear of car - seems like an awful lot of pipe compared to the neat way that MarkH had it done by his exhaust guru with the WG output just behind right wheel arch. It makes a beautiful noise like that on full throttle - guaranteed !

Must agree, when me and Tom C went to the pub in it at GTI it sounded awesome....

I was looking fos a simples minor upgrade (without have to change the turbo)... maybe bigger intercooler, MTM intake or so... or some kind of kit.

Hi Vitor welcome to the forum. A lot of tuning companies do not list 'old' models. If you contact them directly they will probably respond. search this forum carefully, there is a lot of good information and it will save you money.

Your web site is good, I fancied the White MGA.

Go further down the page on MTMs site and you see a list of all the cars they do.

Heres some links...

S2 - 3B

S2 - ABY

RS2

I have to laugh at their RS2 tuning prices. £2900 to get 360bhp. Surely all it needs is a decent remap?!

[timucin]

they do not produce new parts to old cars, all you can find is 'what ever stayed at their stocks from early days'
very limited quantities as i remember
But you should ask them

today i ordered some more parts from dbilas to finish my project; i do not believe everything will be ok with this company but i also do not have any alternatives..cause i have started and already received lots of parts, i just cant throw them away.
i am over the planned budget as usual..

Timucin, we are all supporting you and hoping all goes well.

The bits you have bought would be too expensive to use as a paper weight.

thnx David;

received and installed heads with arp bolts today.



my idea: stock audi bolts look more stronger with their shape,round stuff all over them

[timucin]

almost forgot to tell:
be very careful while removing old fuel pump plastics;
cause i have broken them all including level sender

[Paulm]

I think you will find the ARP bolts are waisted, spreads load better on the bolt

completed the engine without cams,will install on car-monday and start exhaust manifold; i think i need around 15 days to finish.. have lots of pics to post soon

[timucin]

also decided to install some more gauges;
fuel pressure for engine fuel
fuel pressure for nos
lean-rich monitor
and a carbon on dash triple adapter

[timucin]

installed engine two days ago, but i broke the plastic inside the fuel tank which holds the fuel pump;made me quite nervous. i fixed it after removing all rear end parts and fuel tank,that cost me three days..
dbilas told me that my missing parts are sent today,hope they did something right but i do not believe, i will wait and see..
i was so busy with rear end thats why i couldnt take the pics, will post them soon

[timucin]

here are some pics
