The story
This 2004 MK4 R32, is the first imported in the USA. This what said the first and previous owner. Originally color was Silver and now is fully re-painted and color changed with Blue AUDI TTRS by Tihomir Tonev. The final Goal is over 1400hp on street legal car with almost everything remain from the factory as interior and exterior with lightest possible replacement parts, but not removing parts to reduce weight. We currently have all ready spent over 2000 working hours and we still have things to improve.
The engine
Because we are using 3.2 engine ( not 2.9 or 3.0) for that power level, oversized to 3.3 and we had to destroy one 3.2 block in order get our calculation from it. We started low and going up. Currently the car is making near 900hp and of course already need drivetrain upgrade and new transmission. The OEM transmission last only few pulls , but we expected that.

Currently the R33 is running with Garrett GTX4202R Turbo , Tail DV`s , Tail Westgate, Custom build Exhaust manifold- ceramic coated , Custom Titanium 4″ Full exhaust system, Titanium charge pipes, Two custom build intercoolers, 80mm Throttle body, Custom build intake manifold- Anodized, Oil cooler and fuel cooler, Water-Methanol Injection system, custom build Fuel system, Spec carbon ceramic dual disc clutch kit, 4 pistons front brakes, H&R coilover suspension, Carbon fiber Hood and Hatch and a lot more.
