Aluminized - Keep the costs low. As long as it reasonably clean and runs well I am in

Hey, it was expected to fail at some point. so it did.
I would love to tear that motor and see what happened for sure, and I will.
Next stage will be making it into something along the lines of a track car. Still haven't decided exactly what, though. I no longer need it as a DD, so I can really take the time, design it well, and go wild with it. A couple of years maybe... ?
For now I got me an A4 2.0T Audi
It gets 31 mpg and it is boosted too. Except the turbo is just about the size of my fist
, but the cost of lease and the gas (monthly) turns out to be less than what I had paid on the 8 for the gas only, which in itself is pretty amazing.

subscribing to get better ideas. 2 thumbs up for the use of stock header IMO. Race header any better u thinks? not for the kit, but for better spool times on that monster of a turbine?
