What are your numbers on this car, and I wasn't clear on your swap.
The engine has only been in the car for 10,000 miles?

damn man but isnt that alot of miles for a turbo...

The KO3 sport turbo was from a 2001 Jetta that was done in 2004. The turbo had about 25-30k miles before it was swapped out.

I didn't use it as a daily driver. I used it to go the gym and do short range errands.

After the swap in mid 2004, it sat in the carport for 4 months.
Got back in Jan 2005 - drove it moderately. Went on a six month deployment on May 2005 to Nov 2005.
In 2006, I have only used for it for 6 months. Half of the time, I was in Pensacola, FL and Athens, GA.
Then now, I have to be gone for 2 1/2 years to Japan.
That's why the motor has less than 10k miles on the swap.

Right now, I only have it boosted at 7-8 psi with stock injectors.

With the Digifant 1 Stage 4 G60 software and red top injectors I had it set at
13-14 psi with 155whp and 175wtq.

With the swap, it is running with a distributor and G60 wiring harness. It needs a good standalone to get some good numbers.

Joe what's up, it's Reza. I can't believe you are getting rid of the Rado. Here is a free bump. If Cisca wasn't prgnant I would consider this. Good luck with the sale.

Hey Shawn! I'll be out of the country by May. I'll try to stop by within the next two weeks. LOTS of things to do before I leave.
Just to back from GA. I'm getting the rado ready to the GTG's. Hopefully, I'll see you in one of them..
