Yessir. Went with the AAT block instead of the original eurovan bottom end I'd purchased. The old 10v block didn't have oil squirters, among other things, and my builder said 600hp/tq was a ceiling for the cast material in the older style blocks. So I picked up a prepped TDI block for less than the cost to machine the old one, and presto! Spare bottom end.

Would love to see it when it's done, I have a big soft spot for these 5 cylinders

Sounds good, we can coordinate later on.

Good news!

Heard from Hank, and looks like after one longstanding 07k build is cleared up by Friday, my stroker is his sole priority so as to make room for a couple TTRS builds. Word is my motor should be ready to ship next weekend.

Custom head gasket is done.



As of right now, there are a couple minor issues to solve. One of which is the water manifold I supplied interferes with Hank's old personal intake. So he's modified a 3B manifold to do the job.




As mentioned, I bought Hank's old manifolds. I had him tap the intake for direct port w/m injection, which has been finished.

Had a 7A valve cover tapped with AN fittings for lines to the catch can, and machined to accept 2.0t coils.

Oil pan has had a baffle welded in to supplement the AAN windage tray.





Aside from that the TiAl flange on the EM has to be modded to fit the smaller EFR flange, and some other odds and ends.

Nice buddy. Looked awesome.

I was by today and grabbed the coil packs and harness. The n75 was gone and I found some broken parts of it. The waste gate is passed I was in a rush. Thanks again buddy.

Nothing yet, but I'd rather take my own... so the teaser shot will have to suffice for now

Thanks! Pics like these almost make the wait bearable.

Once you fire this thing up for the first time, I will have a new ringtone.

You bet! It was a glorious day to see the 5 ton FedEx truck pull up a day earlier than advertised.

Pro tip: I paid for shipping to the airport distribution centre (since residential delivery cost $180US more), and when they called to get payment for brokerage fees I requested home delivery. They did so for free! Goes to show, never hurts to ask.
