So far i have got everything for the basic engine- and is pretty much all built and together

Full rebuild
Audi tt 1.8 20v turbo pistons
Forged rods
ARP rod bolts
Devil developments valve springs
Oil return welded into sump

I have a straight cut gear set and LSD that is almost together, and a Helix paddle clutch kit.

As soon as the gearbox is finished i will drop it all in the car.

Other parts i have already-

Omex 600 ecu and bare loom
Focus rs exhaust manifold and turbo, new turbo gasket and clamp
Focus rs decat pipe
Rover turbo inlet manifold, adaptor plate, fuel rail with injectors and throttle body
Oil pressure switch t piece for turbo feed
Breather blanking plate

Next on the list was turbo oil feed and return pipes and front mount intercooler (take it i can use an rs turbo uprated one?)


Please can anyone tell me, do i use the 2.0 cams or the 1.8 (105) cams?

Will the standard radiator do the job or shall i get an ally one?

Im guessing i will need an uprated fuel pump- any advise on what one?

And anything that ive missed or that i should bear in mind??

Thanks in advance!
