hey bud your not gonna believe this, and i hope youre still active on this account but i now own this rabbit ive had it for about a year and a half now, crazy i just randomly found it on youtube
I have basically the exact same car only in red. Was thinking of doing this this summer to give it a little more pep. How many hours do think you have in the installation so far?
shoot... i have no idea. i know i spent one whole day building the exhaust manifold and another the intake so probably 40+ hrs total. you must do head studs and i had never done the head gasket before so it toke me a little while. plus i wanted to build the intake and exhaust while the head was off for accessibility of the ports. but yeah probably 40+ hrs. you have to remember though i work at a fab shop so i have access to some equipment you may not like a cnc plasma table. hope your build goes well. let me know if you have any other questions.
i tapped a hole for it. www.ebay.com/itm/Pyrometer-0-1500F-EGT-gauge-2-52mm-w-6-5-ft-2M-K-thermocouple-probe-black/263598888974?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Is this a mk1 block or a mk2 I just got a vnt15 for my 1.6d out of my 81 caddy pickup and I herd mk1 blocks like to crack on the corners of you apply boost to them it's very hard to tell bc I've seen ppl push reliable boost with them but anything over 10psi shouldn't be on mk2 blocks I've seen push over 30s

What kind of egt sensor did you use? Link? Also, did you mount it with a clamp or tap a hole?
