Long long time ago in a country far far away :joker

A guy decided to buy a Callaway Turbosystems turbokit for Volkswagen A1 platform
and then he bought some more :jsmile

Last year I sold my Corvette and bought the Volkswagen cabriolet

at this moment is has 0hp :joker

I hate gathering parts and people lying at me,
I bought a new engine harnass to keep/save the original to power the CIS injection.
But the guy who sold a complete not abused cable harness is a dickhead whether he knew it or not about the cutted wires :afire

Another bear in the road to shoot.
damn I hate fairies, when do I get to the happily everafter part ? :wtf


After I found out the motorsupport rubber is broken I simply thought to re-use the one from to old engine.
but this is not a direct fitment , also I found out there is a scary hole in my new engineblock.
also alternator fitment was a :help as they are different from the 2 engines.

tomorrow another day , to be continued :joker

Update,

Replacing original fuel pump with a CIS version as this system works with higher pressure instead low pressure injectors.

wire harness from donor car was , as you can guess fkd up --that why its called a fairy tale-- again dissapointment.
I kissed that dead chassis many times but it did not wake up :joker


Preparing a new connector cable and we should be able to finish installation next weekend.
then only few steps away from testing pressures on the fuel system. :jsmile

Next time I know for sure I am picking the correct time period donor and base instead of upgrading and downgrading complete cars. :conf :pale
