Project Mk1 TT 2.5T "RS"

[Mantvis]

Seems like we've been working on this forever, but obviously there's been a lot of down time. Still, the car is running and driving and I figured it'd be cool to offer a quick update.

We began this project back when the FL store was still open and crazy swaps and projects were regular business for us. But since we began we've changed our business model to focus mostly on designing and distributing wheels, so unfortunately the RS project took a backseat to a lot of other more pressing issues.

We're running a very safe C2 Motorsports baseline program, but final tune will require another trip back to Kentucky, or perhaps a switch to standalone management. The car is currently up for sale in the hopes someone else wants to take over from here, but if not we intend to move on to the next phase (suspension, braking, cosmetics, etc.) in the hopefully not-too-distant future. A set of our upcoming 18x9.5 Tarmacs are a given, as far as we're concerned

Even with the baseline file the car runs great and is very quick. A bit more timing and a little less fuel will help full spool happen a bit earlier, but for now I'm just happy as hell to be able to drive the thing. And all kidding aside, the sound of the 5-cyl is simply glorious (video coming soon).

Here's a rundown on the current specs:

- 2004 225 quattro Dolomite Grey
- 23k-mile 2.5 5-cyl from a 2009 New Beetle
- Engine harness and ECU are from the 2.5
- Trans is stock 02M
- 2.5 single-mass lightened flywheel
- Clutch Masters Stage 4 clutch kit
- Precision 5857 turbo with .82 A/R
- Precision 38mm wastegate
- C2 Motorsports Stage 3 software
- C2 Motorsports Stage 3 head spacer
- fifteen52 3" turbo-back exhaust
- fifteen52 SRI
- KW ST coilovers
