hi all ain't posted on here for a while been out of a seat or a vag car for that matter , was driving this for a while

but needless to say that didn't last long , was fun car but riddle with commons faults. anyway

my new 2001 audi tt 225 in blue , done 135k miles with FASH got 2 owners from new bought it off police man that own it 5 years , this car for me will hopefully be a fun little project .

my plans are to eventually go big turbo , using a holset hx30/35 hybrid set up , to gain between 400-450 bhp . short term plans are fully forging bottom end.

car as it stands at the moment

Looks like a fun pile of bits so far

How much was the oil pump and pickup, if you don't mind me asking?

Nice motor, your not hanging around on the mod front either

Is it a quattro model ?
