Tom's MK5 GTI OEM+ Build - Forged engine and BBT Hybrid
tommygti:
So..... this thread has been dead for the past 2/3 years as I have been back at Uni doing my Masters so the car basically sat there doing nothing. This gave me alot of time to collect parts and decide which direction I wanted to take the project in. Now that I have more freedom/time to get things done and I'm finally earning money I can revive the thread and show you some updates. Anyway since my last post things have changed a little. The bodywork has got worse and could do with a respray so that will be on the cards somewhere down the line once ive saved enough cash and got the more important jobs out the way. Ive fitted a new cam belt kit + water pump and over the next couple of weeks I will be doing a complete engine oil flush, replace the pick up pipe, and a inlet valve clean.
The spec as of now:
Engine
BCS turbo back
Forge Twintake
Forge DV
Autotech internals
RS4 FPRV
Aircon delete
RS4 coilpack
NGK iridium sprak plugs
Suspension
AP coilovers
Superpro ALK
Superpro full f+r polybush kit
S3 alloy wishbones
Whiteline f+r ARB's
subframe spacer kit
replaced ball joints and front subframe bolts
Drivetrain
42dd shifter bushings
My intention was to go no further than stage 2+ with a good suspension setup so I could do a couple of track days. Since then things have spiraled slightly. If your going to do it, do it properly so...
TTS K04
Mishimoto J-line fmic intercooler
Sachs organic clutch and plate
Alcon 6 pot brakes
and some bits that will be arriving from the US soon:
BFI Stage 1 mounts, USP runner flap delete, AWE dv relocate, 42dd shifter bracket bushings, Osir vent gauge pod (not pictured)

Nice thread revival there :happy2: Looking forward to seeing this take shape!

Very nice. Love the brakes.
Are you still going to try and squeeze those Keskins on? They're a lovely wheel.
Should make good power with the k04 and the rest of the hardware. Careful of the Autotech pump internals... a few respected tuners much prefer Loba/APR.

Cheers. They need powder coating though and some of the pistons may need replacing. Ive been in contact with Reyland Motorsport about some custom 2 piece discs and brackets but they will have to wait till ive done the engine 1st as money as tight at the minute.
I sold the Keskins along time ago. Ive moved onto some 18" Rial Daytona splits wheels now but im considering selling them as the they don't work well with big brake kits at all.
