Update:
So it's going to be a stock, replacement engine then! I'm going to be reverting to an ABY airbox (may makes some modifications to it :mischeif
The next step of the project is to get the engine to my place, then we'll work out getting it refitted in the car.
A few thoughts for the future:
I'd like to take a step towards comfort, so ideally that would mean trading my 3" turbo-back for something sporty but more subtle (Miltek or similar) in the future. Just want rid of the boom @ cruising speeds, with a minor performance improvement over stock. Anyone with something suitable looking for a more power-worthy exhaust please let me know!
The ECU needs to be flashed back to stock, and homefried or the likes in the future.
I still have the 034 hi-output coils, coilpacks on the current motor are good but a swap could be on the cards.
RS2 intercooler is staying fitted - no point modifying the cross member to go back to stock! I have all the ABY samco's to swap across to the donor motor as well.
If I can't get much more £££ back for the modified head, is it worth swapping it over at some point along with my ARP head bolts? And selling the stock head. Cambelt was recently done so it's tempting not to bother.
