Stripped 172 Turbo



  Golf GTD Mk7
How have I only just found this thread. I'm hooked. Great work. Is there any before/after rolling road figures?

On a down side, I can't find anyone to make me a side exit exhaust because its illegal to have it coming out of the passenger side and the fuel tank is in the way on the other side. Looks like it will now have a ktec stealth instead to keep the sleeper look.

All R5 gtt side exit exhausts exit on the passenger side, I've never had a problem with MOT's etc?

Why not get a gtt one for about £100.00 second hand and modify it to fit. YOu'll never regret fitting a sidey, they are awesome on a turbo charged car!:evil:

Hi Ryan,
Yep your defo going to beat me mate,no chance of mine running before Thursday. not able to work on it much at the moment:(
 
  Stage 2 172 Turbo
is it a race?
No, not a race. My turbo conversion has been ongoing since June. It's a second car so no rush and want to take my time.
Credit where credit's due if Ryan gets his done by Thursday, it's a lot of work to do in under two weeks:clap:

Will give you a call when it's done Ryan so we can meet up ( might be a race then!!:race:) Have to get some photo's of the two cars together

are you sure about that, theres plenty of people who have side exits on clio16valver and i have never had any problem with mine. Plllenty of vans have side exits on the passenger side.

Thanks Adam,

would like to see somewhere in the region of 280-300bhp but will have to wait and see once its rolling roaded, regarding torque, I have no idea really but will post all results once its been on the rollers

As long as it exits behind the front wheel it is road legal

Good project... perfection takes times:cool:
