"The ASBO" TTE420 Powered MK2 Cupra K1
ducman77:
Wow!! Amazing update. Please tell us more about it??
I've emailed Paul in AKS requesting a guide price for this conversion on a DSG MK5 GTI :happy2: Waiting to hear back from him :smiley:
I would be very keen to go down this route once my car is beyond 300hp and 300ft/lb.
Would you be happy to give a rough idea of what the conversion cost is? No worries, and totally understand if you'd prefer not to on an open forum :smiley:
Cheers,
Dave

Sweet work mate, glad I got a 6R and saved myself the time and heartache of chopping my old GTI up! You seen that there's a TTE480 out now that TTE420 owners can upgrade to for quite cheap? Combined with RS3 injectors you should be good for a considerable bit more power from your engine...

Are you now keeping an eye on things that are taking more stress? As sh*t as wheelspin is, it probably helps keeping things from breaking.
Enjoy the 'new car' mate. I bet it's mega.

Thanks buddy, much appreciated. Yeah, it's just so refreshing being able to just grip and go in all conditions now. I'm 100% keeping an eye out for thing like you said, that's why I got the box etc strengthened whilst it was out. :happy2:

No comments, really! :congrats:

Thanks buddy. It's really made me happy and it was well needed after the 420 like you say. Forged block and big blower next! :innocent:

Awesome piece of kit, bet it's incredible with the AWD now.

Ha, small world buddy! :laugh: You happy with yours still? :happy2:
Yeah, I'm still getting used to it.......will take a while TBH.
--- Quote from: AJP on October 18, 2016, 08:10:58 pm ---I'd love to see some videos. Standing starts, rolling starts from 30mph etc. Must be close to or under 4 seconds to 60 with the TTE420. I'm not a great fan of 0-60 bragging rights, but I'll be really honest... it's because I'm fwd

I'll be sure to get some videos for you then buddy, it now shoots some ridiculous flames so I'll get some of that too! :innocent: :laugh:
I'm the same, never been interested in launching but probably because it was FWD as well. I hadn't even thought about the 0-60 time until you'd mentioned it........hmmmmm!

Thanks buddy, hope Paul gets back to you soon then......I know they're all busy as hell down there as usual.
I'd rather not talk about cash on here like you say, as you can imagine it wasn't the cheapest of modifications though. :sick: :laugh:

I've had the ASBO for 8 years now, she's gone too far to start it all again now. :laugh:
The TTE480 requires a forged engine so if I do that it'll be a Nortech GTX3071 kit and some serious power. :pomppomp:

Cheers buddy, I knew as few people would've seen it on there that's why I kept the update fairly short!! :happy2:
Yeah, more power is next........heart set on 550-600bhp. :innocent:
