    My old mk2 turbo

    Here are some pics of my old 2.0 L ABA turbo Mk2 Jetta. I hope the new owner is treating it nice.









    And here's how much power it put down on a Mustang Dyno.





    My previous car running down the road. The white mist rolling over the roof is from purging the nitrous!





    That Mk2 was a blast to drive and it was such a sleeper!!! It was far from the prettiest car around, but it made it up in driving enjoyment. Prior to that car I had a little Mk1 Jetta Gli that had a port and polished head, 272 degree cam a few other bolt-ons and a 100 shot of nitrous just for good measure.

    The Mk2 above had a 2.0L block running the stock 10:1 compression ratio and also about 15 psi of boost. It was controlled by a Digi-1 ECU sourced from a Corrado G60. I used an ACN 5-speed transmission with an EuroDrive 4 puck clutch. Also to keep me comfortable, I sat myself in a Sparco seat with a Sparco 4 point harness.

    Where did you get this gauge cluster?



    Looks pretty cool. And if someone was alcanterraing their dash or something, they could put that on and it would look pretty nifty IMO.

      It's an Autometer pod for a 1994-2004 Mustang.
      It took a bit of reshaping, but since there aren't any gauge pods available for Mk2's, I had to be a bit resourceful.

          I've just recently moved out to Calgary. One of the main reasons for selling my Jetta was the fact that I was driving out here. Modified car with a turbo just seemed like a bad idea for a 4000 km drive.

            booo! too bad we didn't get a chance to put the MegaSquirt in the jetta :( I'm curious as all hell to the difference it would make!

              Ya, I wish we had done that too.

              I guess we'll never know.
