I joined this forum back in 2014 right before I bought my car and I never considered making a "build thread" since I never thought my car was anything special but... last week I bought a big turbo kit so I figured i would finally make one and document the journey :iono:



Goal w/ BT: 400-430whp.

I dont care about having a crazy 600whp GTI or breaking any records, this is my daily and need it to be reliable.



There is a lot of shit I want to currently change like the wheels/tires, new suspension but one step at a time. The car was backed into last month by a garbage truck and its at the shop right now, should have it back this week. Big turbo and WMI kits should be going in soon.



I would have to go back years of pictures to really have an accurate timeline of my car so Im just gonna post my current setup as of right now.



Any feedback is appreciated it.

Always loved your setup. Definitely set aside money for a diff. For a 6mt it won't be that expensive

Car has come a long way since I’ve last seen it.

3071 is going to be nasty.

yeah i think you saw it when i first got it, I basically went stage2 and left it as is for 2 years. Just in the last year and half ive done most of the mods. Yeah im stoked on this turbo.

Lots of shit to install...

CTS GTX3071r kit. Literally every thing i need to install it is here. There is a lack of information on the internet about this kit so If anyone has pics of how they setup their n75 please PM me.



Snow perfomance stage2 W/M kit. Will be using an AEM controller so if anyone wants a SP controller hmu.
Dont plan on really going in that deep into the WM rabbithole so ill be running only two nozzles, post IC and one at the TBS.




Also; Dieselgeek shifterbushings and michelin pilot sport AS3+ tires, these will go on my rotiforms as i plan to get an all summer wheel/tire setup and run the rotis for the rest of the year.
