I know who the OGs are 😉 Mad that thread has over a million views now.

Sorry I cant subject the general public to the adverts on here 🤣🤣 It was a different place when I first came here 20 years ago 🤦‍♂️

I'll be doing chronological updates on a new PH thread as and when I get the time in the coming weeks 👍 https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=2127715

Done 3x days with the turbo now. These were the most recent two. Been mainly running it on 3psi as its a good match with the E46 (well I keep going past ~6000rpm), with 7-8psi on the button if I want it. Have made more changes, just two more days left this year, but all seems well at the...

Ill probably upload a clip this week 👍 Stock it did 242hp, esentially the book figure for the engine. Then as above, here is stock vs 4psi, albeit with 50C, intake air temperature. Since spent the past two weeks putting together a big cooling system for the charge cooler, with two more...

Mapping happened Track day happened Everythings been hot Changes have taken place - now for a couple more days over the next few weeks 🏁

I'll aim to put something together once the turbo is done and tuned (in a few weeks), i'll post in here wherever it ends up being 👍 Packaging has been interesting to say the least, plenty of thought required but everything worked out...

You could ask, but I dont think they'd even end up selling more than one. From the looks of it, even EBS Racing have stopped offering the 6 speed version. That was around $2k USD at the time. There is very little demand and very few people using proper LSDs. Its the complete opposite end of the...

Hopefully! Its a known thing 3rd gear is a weak point on the 012 but, I have the 3 other boxes worth of individual gear parts and syncros which are compatible 👍

Yes its an 012 series transaxle used in Passat/A4, there are 30-40 variations to cover all models. I've had 3 gearboxes from various models over winter from Europe, as they have more favourable final drives - 'da internetz' said parts can be used from), but after actually getting them...

Great for a leisurely drive out, motorway cruising and a little rip now and again - which is the general democratic for these cars. Just terrible for an actual lively track driving experience. The five speed has 3.55 FD, I have seen 135mph+ in 4th gear. In reality, it needs a 4.2/4.4 FD, they...

Well the motor is stock, and they're quite high compression standard, so low boost for now, 7-8psi, which is why I'm using a 60mm gate so I have proper control with the ECU. There has been a lot gone into it fabrication wise but I'm attempting to do it properly with how I use it, with proper...

After 9 days in the car, totally bored of the gearing on these cars being so unlively. The 981 and forward are no better in stock form, well especially if you're not using it as a road car. Probably less noticable with a 3.2/3.4 with that little bit more torque, but still, I didn't even use 5th...

Fun was had.

Not that I can find for the 5 speed. There used to be for the 6 speed, however was £2k+ for a ring and pinion - regardless, I wouldn't pay that anyway. They aren't worth the investment as can't handle the power of a 3.8/4.0 for example (not for track anyway). My box is worth money 'as is' with...
