Well I have spent a LOT more time planning etc. The new plan is based around a gt28r that will be here shortly. I have the manifold and I still need to weld in the port for the external wastegate. This setup will be 10psi tuned w/ MS1 v3.0. I am thinkin of tryin out NGK's new wideband o2 sensor b/c I lose their products and I like its options and display. I have already installed the COP and it is running great.

I am debating between the 3.73 and 4.10lsd's. I currently have a open 4.10 diff.

I am going to be running 2.5" IC pipes as well as 2.5" exhaust. The exhaust will be straight piped to a hooker glasspack unless I decide its too loud. I am running the "turbo" exhaust right now and it sounds great but I think its too loud for the long run. But we'll see how much the turbo quiets it down.

3,73
it will have so much power your 1st will be useless,
the 3,73 will at least minimize that

The Ebay kit will be available in about 25days so I�m counting down to buy it for the M42.

What changes did you notice with the COP ?

VS motor rules. and he is a Norwegen. and that m5 is not a kit. your gt2860r is in the 250 to 300 hp range.

how much did that gt28r run you? and are you going too be using a thicker metal head gasket or running stock gasket with stock compression and internals?

bmwman91 · « **Reply #7 on:** February 07, 2007, 01:02:16 PM »

I am betting on stock thickness head gasket...one of the drawbacks of a timing CHAIN.

couldnt the tensioner take it into account? because there is slack? maybe you modify the tensioner? im just curious because i know they sell them here http://vacmotorsports.com/cgi-bin/view_item.pl?item_id=470

The GT28R is a perfect turbo for our 1.8L engines. It is easily capable of over 300whp without compressor wheel/housing modifications. The VW 1.8T community is all about this turbo because it gets to full boost very early. Good choice.

Did you install the Megasquirt already? If you did, I'm curious how you set it up.

Do you think the M42's going to be okay without knock sensors though?

asubimmer · « **Reply #10 on:** February 07, 2007, 11:31:41 PM »

yeah the lack of knock sensors is going to be ok. I ordered the MS and its on the way. I have the turbo and it looks incredible. I will get some pics in the tommorro for you guys. I will more than likely be using the stock head gasket for now, I just want to see how it holds up

Gunni · « **Reply #11 on:** February 08, 2007, 04:04:53 AM »

Keep things posted,
I�d be interested to see how a stock gasket holds up

ScreamerBeemer · « **Reply #12 on:** February 08, 2007, 11:09:19 PM »

Best guess, what rpm's will the boost kick in on that gt28r? The faster the better.
