Will trade for a 4x4 extended cab 5 speed.
This is my 2001 vw jetta. This was a summer turbo project to help me understand how turbos work, and how to install them. I dropped the stock K03s turbo, and installed a Garret T3 50 trim turbo. I also installed some supporting mods to help the turbo run better. This whole project was a backyard job, my friends and I did the whole thing. Everything installed is relativity new. There was about 72,000 miles on the car when i got it, i did everything at 75,000 miles. And I believe it has somewhere around 76,000 miles now.
This car isn't a show car. It's scratched up and has some dents but no rust. The car is a lot of fun to drive, and turns heads when you close the throttle (whooooshhh). I finally finished the project and got it running. Starts up and drives smooth every time; There is a few steps left to get the turbo boosting at it's full potential for some real power.. You would need 630cc injectors, a fuel pump, and a nice ECU reflash or dyno tune. After that, you may be looking at around 300 horse or more depending on what company does the tune and how much you boost at. I would recommend "eurodyne". I already priced all of that up, it comes to about $1100. Not sure what the jetta is doing for hp now, if I was to guess maybe 240 at the flywheel.
