What’s up guys? Picked up this 98 hatch about a month ago and decided to share the journey with you guys. I had an 02 Audi TT that I was building, but unfortunately spun a rod bearing and decided to go a different route. I have what’s called an f21t frankenturbo lying around which is essentially a hybrid ko4. I plan to try and mate it up to the d16, cause why not? I’ve already got the turbo, Bosch ev14 550s, a fmic core and some other parts. Just need a fuel pump, manifold, fuel management, and some other little things to get this car boosted.

Might just end up getting a t3/t4 50 trim like I had before tho tbh.

Decided I’m going to just go with a 50 trim. It would be too much work and headache to use the frankenturbo. However, I can still use my 550s. So that’s a plus.
Blacked out my headlight housings today. Came out pretty solid. Not perfect, but they still look decent enough.

Also, I’ve already got an intercooler core. Just need piping for this car.
