Engine: Audi A3 20V Turbo engine code AGU, Jabbasport ceramic coated inlet manifold with green injectors, IHI rollerbearing turbo (VF24 Imprezza), Jabbasport down pipe and flexi, Mercedes Sprinter front mounted intercooler with custom made stainless steel boost pipes, Forge Motorsport dump valve, green cotton cone filter, Jabbasport chip and live map with later ECU, 18T 5-speed gearbox, uprated clutch, Passat TDI drive shafts and cv joints, Corrado 2.9 sub frame, upgraded engine mounts. I Have used all of the Audi A3 wiring harness and still retains the original transponder key. Most importantly this car still has its OBD diagnostic port for accessing the ECU for all fault codes and live testing of this car.



Looks all there to me

My friend has a similar spec engine and makes similar power in his mk2 golf, so seems perfectly plausable to me.

Truely awesome car that i reckon, whoever buys that is going to be well happy with it

I would say this is true. Been mapped correctly and runs very nicely, and this is from a ford man. Sound system is awesome for the size of it.

I can kinda understand the following they get, but I really dislike the "Euro" look you always get with these

That engine spec should make 350hp easy. Internals on the 20vt are supposed to be good for 400hp.
