Got me a new (to me) car too!

[iceman601]

My friends caught fire while we were driving in it about month ago too!

How soon are you looking to do the twin turbo swap? We're doing it on one of my friend's car and it ain't cheap...

Was there a fuel leak or something?

I don't plan on it anytime soon unless the motor blows, but I do have a few parts piled up...with the important one being the main wiring harness.

Where did you guys get the TT motor?

The fire started from wires touching the EGR valve, but that's on a Z31.

We bought a crashed TT Z32 for the engine.

Nice. I had a '90 NA and a 91 TT ten years ago.

Had to the dreaded plenum pull to fix them leaking valve covers, also bypassed the throttle body coolant lines while I was at it, and replaced 3 injectors. It takes a lot of work just to get the plenum off.....Doing it once wasn't that bad, but I also had to pull two other ones for leaking valve covers too....a 92 and 93 2+2.....definitely not fun at all.

Getting started


Harness pulled aside and plenum off


Pretty dirty here


Gave the valve covers a quick coat of black


Back in running mode


Friends 92 2+2....Leaking valve covers and upgraded to new style injectors


Other friends 93 2+2...Leaking valve covers....silicon hoses...pcv valves..topped it off with red valve covers
