I decided to start a thread on my car because it's going to be a long project.
I was rebuilding the B6 to turbo it after but after I made a list of all the parts and all the prices I thought it would be a lot cheaper to buy a BPT and swap that in instead. Here's the list of part I made to build a reliable
B6 turbo...prices are some what accurat
