I'd say about 1-2 hours. Not complicated, just have to have the tools and make sure you soak the manifold bolts because if one breaks you might be there for a few hours

😂 I’m sitting in my driveway taking my manifold off for this EXACT reason, and my gti is a 03 as well

Wishing you good luck bud. Blew the turbo on my Audi, bought a maxpeedingrods turbo and all new turbo oil feed and drain lines, all turbo gaskets and washers, intake manifold and throttle body gaskets, will be redoing all the vacuum lines at the same time too. My car has been down for a month and a half now due to waiting on parts. So make sure you do everything correctly

@@mk4geo822 I’m in the same exact boat as you right now. I just got the same turbo and went to the junkyard to get all “new” lines. How is the maxspeedingrods turbo??

Definitely, but turbo seals wear which is the typical cause of this

Its my understanding these are no longer available so your best bet would be a junkyard

That's what i had in mind... Thanks!

Nm I ended up doing it it's a pain in the ass though but now I know how to do it

I agree it wont take 15min lol. But would you like to sit through 2 hours of video of a random guy struggling to remove some nuts and bolts? Lol

It shows the turbo perfectly

Lots of swivel sockets

I had a major pain with this bolt too, took about an hour to get the right socket mixture to fit that shit

Great vid by the way really helpful

Just a regular 1/2in.. As far as the socket size I believe the nuts were 13mm

12mm on my gti.

Was 12 mm thanks guys

Thanks for the correction! It's been awhile.

?

I've actually sold it already. Working on RX-8, Porsche 924 Turbo, and NB Miata Videos

@@jonmadden59 ah nice. I had a turbo NA Miata before :) Have fun with your builds!

@@6ixthstage845 Thank you!

I own this thing now

@@Bustingutzz cool car

You can use a regular Allen key. It's not necessarily special. I'll see it I can add a note

should’ve watched the whole video before starting

Of course! Just need to fit under the car. I did this on some ramps.

They sell kits for them, plug n play but at the time because mine was a CE1 car and they weren't available, I chopped all the mk4 wiring and spliced it with the mk2 wiring 1 wire at a time

@@jonmadden59 Thanks for reply. I've been trying to thin out the mk4 harness now and get rid of stuff I don't need. Which wires did you have to splice? Are you using both the mk2 and mk4 fuse boxes?

@@trashman1694 It depends on what you want to keep and how you are going about your build. I left my original clocks which would be different if you're using mk4 ones etc. It's 100% easier to just buy a harness. Trust me. If not get yourself a mk2 Bently Manual and a Mk4 Bently manual and start looking at the wiring diagrams of both. Mostly what needs to be spliced is ecu into interior stuff like fuel pump, fuses and relays. You'll also need a non immobilized ecu.

Yeah I have the mk2 and mk4 Bentley books. Haven't got the ecu tuned/immobilizer defeated yet. Was sort of planning on half assing it first and just using the mk4 cluster and ignition with original mk4 key with the mk2 dash removed just to get to drive it around some since I have them from mk4 donor car. Would like to have the mk2 clocks and dash complete at some point, and delete immobilizer. I noticed you have the ecu and sai relays mounted inside fender, does the 100 sai relay control stuff other than sai pump?

Think I remember now the sai 100 relay also controls coil packs? This has been the project car that keeps going on the backburner...

I don't have a list of part numbers but I do have a list in the description of what was used... Are you from the UK?

@@jonmadden59 in continential Europe, so you used standard mk2 GTI rear mount and a corrado front?

@@timocallaghan4408 correct. This won't work on RHD cars though which is why I asked if you were from the UK. You can use your stock mounts. The Corrado one was just because is supposedly stiffer. The only mount you will need is a 5speed mk3 vr6 transmission mount that bolts to the K frame. I got mine from a 1996 Jetta GLX. That's car was also where I got the front hubs & brakes, control arms, axles, rear beam & brakes, and fuel tank and fuel pump from. I used the mk4 1.8t brake booster, pedal assembly, engine and trans.

If you have a ce2 car, wiring will be a piece of cake, you can buy a plug and play wiring harness for your car. S-pautomotive.com I had to wire the entire vehicle from scratch using the mk4 wires and a Bently manual for both cars, definitely the worst part of the build so if you can avoid it buy the harness

@@jonmadden59 awesome to see a clear answer, thank you so much!

Its for sale. 6k

The alarm is a compustar. In Europe I think it goes by the name of magic something. The seats are Brides, I got reps and welded the brackets to the original seat frames. Ask away!

2 Step is part of the ecu tune. The ecu needs to read clutch engagement and 0 speed to activate. It can't read speed because I'm using the original clocks so I had to put it on a switch. 12v to the ecu pin. Mines an AWW

@@jonmadden59 Thanks a lot bro keep the videos coming you've got some good editing skills maybe do some comparisons and reviews I have already subscribed! :)

I rebuilt it as it was on $60 for the rebuild kit. If your shaft isn't too bad you should be fine with marking everything with nail polish before removing. I track mine often and I have about 15k miles on mine. I didn't get the turbo balanced but Ill its an important thing to do if you want to be sure it will last.

Phillologist Mine actually didnt come with them but I have read a light pass over with a heat gun might work to loosen the adhesive. if not, you might be able to use fishing line. Look up "debadge car with fishing line" same concept

THANK YOU SIR.

Dude I'm having the same issue. I heard about a double nut trick to pull the studs out of the turbo. Then you'd have to put the studs back in

@@derricksarazin6582 Guys soak the bolts in penetrating oil be it home-made concoctions or PB blaster etc, moderately soak the studs and any bolts for a few hours or overnight if necessary. From underneath the car using a socket ratchet w/ a long extension, a socket swivel, and a short-sized breaker bar, that's all I used and my MK4 Gti had 200k miles on it when I swapped out the original turbo, the studs came off but they get replaced anyway. And altho this great video is short this takes a LOT longer than a few minutes and you should know your way around your car, but definitely doable in a day w/o the need for power tools. As long as your car is securely lifted on ramps or jack stands everything can be accessed accordingly with the proper hand tools, time and patience.
