MK5 BRM TDI 250-300 HP Build GTB2265 Part 1

I have acquired enough spare parts for the VW cars themselves through buying donor cars, it was time to make the grocery getter MK5 a little more spicy. Stage 3 southbend clutch good for 425 TQ, gtb2265vk turbo good for upwards of 45 PSI boost, upgraded head bolts and injectors on the way! I may be lacking overall power without doing more internal work to the engine, but for a quick set of bolt on upgrade parts, this MK5 BRM should move very nicely.

I would add a little bit more aluminum pipe to that 180 bend, that silicone is a little to close to that exhaust housing. on my car I fit a 3inch pipe over the axle, its a little tight but it clears every thing.

Ya I need a pipe bender lol. And I am monitoring that boost pipe, only the clamp is resting on the actuator mount so it looks to be ok

while it may take some extra plumbing i swear i say this on all of ur videos cuz i want someone to do it cuz i cant😂😂 u should put ur old turbo back on and make it a compound system, then u would get boost with casual accel rather than needing to really ask for it and also the turbos will be more efficient and you wont need to intercool as much. but regardless this thing is beautiful

[@TDISwaps]

Ya I have compound builds in the plans, but I honestly just needed something to put this turbo on 😂😂😂

[@A2J_Tim]

I put a 1756 on when my stock turbo started burning oil, I kinda wish I did a replacement cartridge and compounded the factory turbo for how much I use the car, then I would have kept the fast spool and made more power up top. I do plan on doing this when I swap the engine into somthing else though cause I miss that boost off idle response.

[@TDISwaps]

@A2J_Tim ya I definitely would like compounds on everything, but it was a quick fix without much piping

Oo make a playlist pls so i can follow it

[@TDISwaps]

Will do!

Have you ever looked into a BRM/PD swap into something like a Land Rover discovery 2?

[@TDISwaps]

Well the BEW PD GMC K1500 pickup swap worked great, the biggest thing with a land Rover is getting a transmission adapter. I haven't had any of my mk5 cars get totalled yet to try out a BRM swap though.
