After much delay, the time has finally come to create my build thread. I bought my car back in June '17 with a little over 14K miles on it and I am the second owner; my car currently has 80,000+ miles. The original owner traded it in for a Mustang GT but before doing so, he installed a AWE Track cbe and a COBB intake. In the little over 3 years that I've owned her, I've added a ton of stuff to make it a 528 whp and 433 wtq GTI. Currently, the engine is getting built. Once everything is put back together again and it has been properly broken in and had a couple of oil changes, Ed and I will have to work on a new tune, which I will have done on a dyno. Then, when that is finished, I will take it to the track to start testing it out. I want to see how far we can take my current turbo before upgrading to a bigger one. My car will eventually be a 1/4 mile track car which means I will gut her out of everything possible and throw some slicks on her. Everything will be documented in here, which is why I am starting this thread. Now for my mod list...
