Is it worth buying an unfinished project? I bought this 1.8t 2001 Audi TT "barn find" with a completely disassembled engine and parts everywhere! The previous owner did buy some good Audi 1.8t Mods like turbo upgrade, forged engine internal and more. Join me on episode 2 as we install the engine, tune the car, deal with a ton of minor issue, and finish with taking the car to the dyno!!! Thanks to Advance Auto Parts For sponsoring this series!

Thank you all for the support on this project. I bought this thing in July of 2021, so its been a LONG time. It's also fun to watch the camera work get so much better as the video goes on. And big ups to Ray for absolutely CRUSHING the edit on this video. Now my question for you guys... Who wants to buy a 1.8t Audi TT????? :P

Really enjoyed watching this series. I bought an 05 TT225 new. Within months I had upgraded Turbo, clutch, blow off, 3.5" downpipe no kitty, straight back to Borla race mufler, upgraded boost hoses, upgraded intercooler ect..ect.... 10k including parts, labor and custom tuning (this was back in 2006). My car dynoed right around 485hp, 465tq (calculated crank, awd dyno. Do not remember wheel numbers). I freaking loved that car. I drove it hard every time I drove it which was often. Was not even my daily driver and I put nearly 90,000 miles on it in 2 1/2 year. To my surprise, nothing broke, I mean nothing at all broke. A testament to the foged internals of the 225 model. I have been an Audi, VW, Porsche fan boy ever since.

Really cool story man, but I call bs. First of all, back in 06, even having 300hp in a 1,8t was really unique. It was just before 2010 when people started cracking the 400-500hp barrier. Putting on 90k miles in 2,5 years is 40k miles per year, which is still wayyy to much for a non-daily. But here is the dealbreaker: the „forged internals“ of the 225 are just the 9.0:1 Pistons and the crankshaft. The rods are literally the same little weak rods as in the 180/150 variants. These rods basically give up with a guarantee around 290hp and 380Nm (280 lb ft). Has been tested uncountable times. So you running those numbers on stock internals and stock compression is basically impossible, especially being reliable for 90k miles. Stop lying on the internet man

@gabrielvanya8245 look up Audi MK1 TT hp/speed records. You will find the turning shop that was in MD specializing in Audi/VW, should even see an old magazine cover with a tt over 500hp on it (not mine, another customer of theirs). It was a 180 with block opened and built. I call bullshit on your bullshit because I don't think you knew anyone spending 10k+ on just motor in 05/06 ! I beat ZR1s then with ease as well as Turbocharged 350zs and gave full built blower Mustangs ass beatings from a dig through 130/140 mph range.

@@bladejames8208I wouldn’t doubt the numbers, there’s a guy who pushes over 600hp on stock blocks, he just has it set up for slower spool up to be easier on the internals. He’s gone through a few engines 😅 it’s just really impressive yours made it that long with no problems. Currently went full forged internals bored over, cammed and balanced etc.. just to be safe, can’t wait to finish her up!

@carrocarro1972 42 Draft Designs. I received one of his first 3.5" flex downpipes for an MK1 TT 225. He was still manufacturing out of his garage production at the time. They don't seen to be making a 3.5" anymore? I see a 3" version available. I had to call and speak with him in person to order my downpipe at the time. He filed for a business license 4/13/2006. I have no doubt the 3" newer version performs just as well as the original individual hand made 3.5" versions. I had a clunk (not a really loud clunk but, could hear exhaust/downpipe contacting bottom edge of firewall" when first installed upon hard shifting. Upgrading the trans mounts, motor mount bushings made the clunk stop.

Long story short my Bora / Jetta mk4 now has a running s3 engine in it 😁 Was 3 years ago I tore out the agu 1.8t as it was very tired and I wanted to go for a dbw wideband setup but I’d left it all apart soooo long working through the bits and pieces putting it back together has been a mission. Pieces I’d bought ready to do it all and organising it all has been an epic battle. I can’t imagine recording it all like he’s done, I’d have hours of head scratching 😂

don't forget all the engineering decision and new compromises you've end up doing for it to work. the resulting car can be a full new Pandora Box of opportunities to learn new mechanic skills... by the time you end the project with proper perfromance and reliability you may end being an engineer of your own car (or the people who you got to deal with all those problems your decissions created)...the more skilled the mechanic is (or he thinks him to be) the bigger the mistake made and the engineering challenge created... people capable of solving your new puzzle will not even work in the manufacturer R+D+i or design and engineering department. good look if you need support on your one man or one workshop Race Custom Builder Team... stopping or scraping a project (or a daily driver) is much more better skill than keeping banging head to the wall...

the old 1.8t are great machines. I myself bought 2021 a4 b5 00vm 1.8t ANB and in 4 years I have driven 228tkm (141672mails). the car had driven 300tkm when I bought it and it had undergone a major maintenance due to a clogged oil pump filter. Now the meter has 528tkm (328083 miles) and every day it works perfectly in the frost-ravaged north.

The motors in question are starting to be +24 years old, so yes, they start to show faults, but they are really cheap and easy to repair. the biggest fault is a clogged oil pump strainer and in the winter it's very cold, so you don't have to run the machine for a long time without oil flow when the machine breaks down. in my country these machines are driven for 400-600k km when well maintained. I bought this car cheap myself, which has had a bad or actually non-existent service history. it does not mean that these engines are bad. The repair costs were around 800e. For comparison, the volvo v70 d5 17vm egr cooler cost 750e as a new part. a new engine for that Volvo was 6000e. and it only got 230,000 km
