darrenjlobb's Project M-TDI Twin Turbo Supercharged Derv Bus

Tbh ive been thinking about getting rid of the car for along time, full of dents / paints fooked, and its just got boring really. Only thing that ive been holding into thought of it possibly keeping motor and dropping it in an old 505 gti or something retro win, but then i just think, if im buying a 505, id want to drop a 6 pot in it, so that then means the engine is pointless also.

I guess building a v6 mtdi has just made me realise even more the love for the 6 banger, and dropping two pots just hurts to much!

Ive not decided totally yet, as I had huge plans for this over next 12 months, and some of them id already started work on, so not sure at the moment, but the engine could easily be put back together as it was and be a totally reliable smoke free 200hp motor for something / someone.

Bit of advice DONT sell anything for a long while! Since my 3-0 Ive had various cars, 230bhp cdi, 525tds tuned a bit, toledos tuned slightly, have audi with mapped 130pd, had civic coupe was gona turbo but....., even have a wee b16a sir delsol atm. Nothing has been the same to the point I cant get the energy or the will to go out and work at them, the honda needs a brake caliper for mot and its been lying months ffs :/
Selling the 306 for me was pointless and stupid as I didnt need the money or the space, if I still had it would be rebuilt and resprayed this year I miss it so bad nothing has been as much fun to tune or drive since.
Edit hmm typing that out has also made me realise in the last 2 years Ive owned and got rid of more cars than in my whole life looking for a replacement for the 306, had a 405 for 2 years then the 306 for 5 years previous lols

Im with con here, just leave it for a while before you start to do anything with it. It could rekindle your love for it, and make you realise that your mere 200hp current OEM engine could become much much more epic now you have the potential for twice the current boost, and with future possibilities of more fuel.. You will come up with problems with all cars, and it seems like your 80% of the way to overcoming all of the problems to completely unleash it. But the little bit of extra willpower and enthusiasm might come later on - once youve pissed about with mrs grunty vag,ina lazy 6pot.

Remeber whatever you do with any car, your not gonna be able to bump the power to 4x its original spec - but you have almost everything covered for your current setup.
