Would love pics, but also why a built engine for a stock turbo? Sounds like a solid build but, like using a nuclear power plant to power a flashlight.

And the WMI system for stock turbo? What's the plan

Also, trailer hitch?

Bro.....pics or this car is a spec sheet

A few pics added. Just a few simple side profile shots.

I was going to with a larger turbo kit and fueling but this engine doesn't have great fueling upgrades unlike the FSI or the MK7 Gen 3 TSI which has all the upgrades you want. I have it on the stock turbo to stay in my Time Attack class for now. I checked on the Nostrum stuff but that tuning required was not something I wanted to pay for and I found out it will take weeks and weeks to tune the car. I am not sure if I will keep this car long term and may eventually sell it.

W/M was there to go for larger power numbers on a larger turbo but now it is overkill for the stock turbo. I have the W/M set very low right now and will need to reduce the sprayer sizes if I stay on a stock turbo and want to use W/M.

Trailer hitch was cheap and allowed me to mount my bikes on it. Also can pull small trailers so I thought it added more functionality. Now I have a truck so I don't tow much with this car anymore.

Wow, I love this build. I don't think I've ever seen a car in 8 years and thought "man I could see myself swapping my GTI for that."

Would love to see more angles of the car and engine bay/interior pics if possible. Looks like an incredibly solid build.

I would have definitely suggested something like the shuenk k03+ or thefrankenturbo f23t over another stock turbo; but regardless I am definitely a huge fun of this build.

Super dope to see the trailer hitch for any tiny hauling or bike-racks.

Looks great. I’ve always liked proportions on these A3‘s. Reminds me more of older Avants in shape and scale. Thanks for sharing !

Agreed. When I decided to get back into the Mk6 life I really considered an A3 Quattro but there is a more limited aftermarket it seems for them, plus a lot had high mileage when I was looking. I stumbled on the Stg3 Golf R I now have so couldn't pass it up.

Still love to see the A3s getting some love.

Nice, alot of similar stuff on mine

Nice ride man, always been a fan of the wagons. For the life of me I cannot wrap my head around a built motor and stock turbo!
Either way, should get a lot of life out of her.
