'01 VW ALH build
So for back ground I bought this '01 VW a few years back and it had some white smoke and blow by when I bought it. Figured it was a cracked ring, well it was actually that the #2 piston had hit the cylinder wall and come to find out the valve guides were shot. I have finally found some time to start getting this car back together.

Thanks for sharing. I bought the wife an '01 for Christmas this year. My plans are to A-pump it (fully mechanical injection) and my HP goal is 300HP for a daily driver.
I'll be watching. |
Cool you have my interest....LOVE ALH builds.
I currently have a '03 Jetta Wagon ALH 5spd. Fresh timing belt, Colt Stage 2 cam kit, PD 150 Intake with EGR & cooler delete, has some small (probably .205 nozzles), and a malone stage 3 ECM tune. I'm eventually going bigger clutch, nozzles, tune, SMIC, turbo figure 200ish HP will make a nice daily driver not that it already isn't. :hehe: I'm fighting the urge to take it to my local muffler shop and chop it off at the cat and run 2.5" straight back.... it was an ALL original black leather unmolested car until my friend I bought it from got it 2 years ago. 300,000 miles on the ticker and its still running like a top! |

I'm so hesitant to screw with this car because its running so great right now, but the CAT needs to fall off and then at that point the muffler is in question. LOL I straight piped my Mega last year and it was fine until I added a entertainment system for the kids then we realized we couldn't hear it in the cab. I just got the local muffler shop I'm friends with to install a take off 3rd Gen oem muffler last week and seems to be JUST RIGHT! But no trips taken in the truck yet. |
Would anyone know the durability of the these little fella at 300HP. We need to get Andy2 involved over here. He's the fella with the 9000rpm gulf.

Wished I had an 11mm pump though. What'd that cost? |

Kerma's been sold out and the once plentiful used market dried up. I knew I should have pulled the one I had off my golf when I sold it!:doh: Snagged that one for an even $100. Quote:

350-400HP is when they start splitting the blocks. Safe to say I most likely won't break the 300hp mark. I'd be happy with a solid car between 250-300 HP

Out with the old and in with the new.
