TT 6 how best to spend £6500

Hi guys I've got a tt 6 and have finnished another project to free up some money to spend on this 1 the car is in paint now and I have £6500 to spend on the car the car is standerd as it stands with only a cat back fitted ,

Fort myte be a good idea to get ideas off every 1 as the best way to spend the money would like to go single but I would like a heads up on tried an proven parts and supliers if possible would quite like to reach around 700bhp mark I have other funds available but would rather spend this first installment and have some money spare for some other bits I have going on at present

Any input would be appreciated

I no I am new to the forum and have experienced on otter forums some pritty outspoken people with no helpful coments or input can't say I have experienced this on here you all sceme a good group of genuine people

Cheres brad

Ambitious.

1. Whifbitz turbo kit ~ £4000

2. SRD Stage 2 cams ~ £550

3. 3" Minimum FMIC ~ £500

4. Bosch 044 Fuel Pump ~ £135

5. Decent Clutch - £500

6. ECU ~ £1500-£2500 depending on choices.

That's way over your budget now, and you've not got the various bits and pieces like heatwrap, fluids, injectors, fuel rails, fuel lines, exhausts, etc etc.

I'd lower your expectations or up your budget. Go staged, to BPU, then to BPU+ and then to single. Take in the information here, there's lots of it.

First thing i'd do is sort the handling. Brand new suspension inc. arms etc. all round.

Ambitious.

And that would be an understatement.

To the OP

Best of luck with your project, personally wouldn't bother with a single if you are limited in funds.

I have more funds avalible just wanted to get the car under way with the first load of money befor spending out again

OK, in that case, go with what IKY has suggested 1st and then with Johnny G's recommendation

My 2p worth would be to suggest the following :

BPU - full Inc boost controller and fmic £1072 if you plan more power maybe need to consider a more expensive fmic than the one in this kit

Big brakes circa £2000 for front and rear

18" wheels and Tyres £2000? To clear the big brakes

Suspension £650 ish

All plus fitting

Also might need to get valve stem seals done as it is reported they often fail and start leaking when you go BPU. Means you can get smoke on start up.

All prices from Whifbitz and on their website.

Give Paul a call, I'm sure he will sort you out!

Cheers and good luck. Keep us posted on the updates. We also like lots of pictures!

Definanty sounds like a good starting point

Ile give paul a ring tomoro try start get the ball rolling

Cant tell if it is a Jspec or UK TT6. I would spend the money on decent brakes, discs, coilovers, BPU and see if you can stretch to having the interior recovered with any change.

I'd love to go single but I am not going to touch it until I have a decent chunk more money than is required for any suprises.

I guess the sensible thing before going single is getting as much done as possible first.

You can do everything bar the manifold, downpipe and turbo in theory first. As long as you get the right order and are prepared to remap when necessary.

If you're sure you want that sort of power, then it'd be a good idea to get the car over to a specialist and get it checked over (especially compression/leak down test) then get their opinion on whether it would be worthwhile doing without opening the engine

If you're really looking to do things properly and cover all angles, then you're going to want to do things like: getting the head refurbed (valves, seats, seals), new oil pump, new crank pulley, new cam belt and tensioner, new water pump - obviously these little jobs will hike the cost up, but you'll also get a little extra peace of mind

Engine rebuild to a proper standard, and if there's anything left fit an aftermarket ECU. This assumes your stock turbos are re-usable as is. Then budget for a single conversion and supporting mods. These things are always cheaper, labour wise, done in one hit though, but a half decent single conversion on anything other than a genuine ultra low mileage car is circa £15k minimum, farmed out to competent professionals. £25K is easily spent on something trick or "different". Rule of thumb is whatever you think it may cost, until the engine is opened up, you are safest to have a solid contingency fund

Definately refresh the suspension components first, will feel like a new car. Than go looking for power.

If you are set on having a single turbo, then my advise would be to sell the freshly painted TT6 for circa £8.5k, then take your £15k cash to this guy. Job done.
