2011 VW GTI CCTA 6 speed
mods:
-APR K04 turbo
-ECS Tuning Luft-Technik intake system
-Neuspeed front mount intercooler
-DKM stage 2 clutch w/ single mass flywheel
-APR downpipe/Billy Boat cat back
-Cayenne S 18Z front calipers/Golf R rear brakes

-VisRacing carbon fiber hood ks style
-Rex Super Sport wide carbon fenders (has fitment issues so i will have to buy siebon fenders instead)

Been a while since I’ve been on the forums but as I’m getting deeper into this engine swap the more questions I have. Don’t want to mess up now with $10k+ invested already. Oh and ecstuning is the best place for parts period.

Picked up a new compressor core for my APR K04. It’s from Mamba Tek...

007-0482 | 9-7 Turbo CHRA AUDI VW S3 TT GOLF 2.0T TFSI | $589.00 | $589.00
| K04-064 53049880064

I heard that it would need a new tune to get the full benefits of the larger wheel. Still gotta look into that.

That core is a real beauty. In to see where this goes...

Noticed my turbo housing has a dent in the side but so do the others. A bit strange, guess it’s supposed to be there.
