Fair play to you, If I was doing what you are id try and keep it quiet too. I'm gona guess you're going for the 270-300bhp mark then? Good luck with it
O and when you're rebuilding the engine what are you putting in? I would of thought while you're there you'll have all new bearings, rings, etc, but you getting different con-rods? pistons uprated head gasket (running so much boost)? or are the standard items up to the job? I'm looking forward to see how this project goes, always good when someone goes for more, than what has already been done, good on you.

From the mods listed above, unless theres more that hasn;t been listed, then it'll be more on the low side of your figures.
Uzi - If you want some design drawings and photos of an exhaust manifold and intake pipe to suit the 3.0l turbo, I'm your man

lol cheers but i have them already. i used autoCAD to draw up a flange to fit the new turbo which will be welded onto the turbo manifold which is cut off my original turbo. and a flange has also been made for the downpipe too.
thanks tho, what sor of stuff do you do?
to be honest george the diesel block in the car is very good, its good for some serious power. my plan is to change what needs to be changed. e.g. if something i come across is not worn away or damaged then there is no need to replace it. yes some of the things mentioned will be uprated but as i said cant give everything away. the main limitations are getting the power down, so as long as the bottom end is built well, i.e with my uprated clutch and a limited slip diff then im all good. not long before i start the job now, most probably have the engine out on monday (couldnt start it this week because i had too much on) and start stripping
ill be sure to have a full write up and try and do as many "HOW TO" guides so everyone can do some jobs themselves.Cupra K1

good luck mate, its reasurring to know the block, and internals are good for all that power, and torque, I'll be happy with 210-220bhp when mine is all done, just need to get the clutch and fit it, but £849.00 is alot for a clutch in my opinion, when I can get a full kit minus a flywheel for a scania p420 truck, for less than half of that! ahh well.
i have an uprated 3.0 litre bmw maf, stop giving away all my secrets dont want to reveal everything...just a tastewr of what is coming
the pistons from a 2.0ltr block wont fit because the spray area for the injectors is not right, there are uprated pistons that rosten have just released which look very eye catching to be fair i have to say the sachs complete set up is well priced for what it can achieve!
lol, well when im done its pretty much just the block from the engine that will be the same
doing my write up today....eyes here
lol, these pictures are taking forever to upload...ok ill start with words...
Firstly I know I said I would do a full work through of how I was getting on, however I have been really busy with the car and working a lot too.
Anyway, I’ll start with bodywork; my car had a few chips and car park dings on it along with a dent on one of the doors so I needed that sorted. I did not want issues with a colour match so I thought I’d get the whole thing re-sprayed and go a different colour. Now many of you guys have seen the concept seat ibiza vaillante...well that’s the colour i wanted, not the matt finish but the gloss blue/purple finish...
Looks like this;

So to achieve this we had to strip everything off, get everything repaired and primed, and while I we were at it I thought it was a good time to lift the engine out.
