1.8T Swapped MK2 Golf



  Skoda Fabia VRS
So, here is the second feature of the little shoot I organised yesterday. Again I have quite a few bones to pick with some of the photo's, and I'm not majorly impressed at how the rolling shots came out. All of the images were shot with my Canon 750-D with the 'nifty fifty' F1.8, and standard 18-55mm Kit lens.

This car is owned by a mate named Tom. He's owned this car since last year and it was originally standard, with the OEM lump. He bought it with a head gasket failure and looked to repair it, then use it. After the head gasket blew again after sorting the issue, he decided to look into the 1.8T swap. As with Ben's S13, Tom did all of the work on this car himself (minus the custom loom being made). Built not bought and all that jazz!
It goes fairly well with the basic breathing mods, and the fact that the MK2 shell doesn't weigh all that much.

As above, car's not massively to my liking looks wise. Shots look great again though. What 1.8T lump did it get?

Good shots! What's it making power wise?
Thank you!
Around stock for the time being mate, he's just got a Turbo back, intercooler upgrade and air filter. Looking to have it mapped soon.

Thanks buddy, appreciate it :)
I think he said the AUM from the 150Bhp Golf.
