RE: Scirocco running 12-13 sce 1/4 mile



If you don't do silly things like worry about paint and interiors you can get under 13sec with under 5k. 
 
I know of a complete BAE system that you can buy for just over $1000 with all the parts you would need except an intercooler.
 
There are lots of decent if not new 8v turbo manifolds available for under $400 and a good used turbo can be had for $250 or less. From there you get the 8v.com downpipe and paste in a used 2.25 inch 16v exhaust.  You will need an intercooler so plan on dropping $100 or so for a used Mistu Starion or Saab model and fabricating the tubing from mandrel bent pipe from any American Muscle shop.  You'll spend another $150 or so for custom fitting/welding of the tubes.  There are at least $500 in little items that you need, turbo oil pan, oil inlet and drain lines for the turbo, ARP headstuds.........and so on. 
 
I'd also recommend getting an Audi 2.0 block to drop in...about $450-$600 depending on mileage and location.  That way your start with a nice 115HP 2.0 liter motor.  You can reduce the compression with a copper shim $100 in between two stock metal ABA gaskets.
 
For a 13sec car, a great clutch is mandatory so hook up a 16v Pressure Plate and plunk down the $200+ for a sach sport clutch or equivalent.  Got to www.bsiracing.com for some good clutch deals.
 
The most important thing to get right is the fuel. Your 87 has standard cis injection so you gotta get an additional injector controller from a shop like SDS or Perfect Choice Motorsports. 
 
You would have to run high boost, probably 15lbs or more to really go like hell.  I have only touched on a few things here but your dream can definetely be achieved.  We are working on a 16 turbo and a 8v right now, both cars are about halfway done.  The 8v has less than $2500 in is to far and the 16v is around 4k.
 
If your serious about this, go to http://network54.com/Hide/Forum/51354 and read along for a while or search the archives.  You have to apply for permission to post to the page because to many idiots with the speed bug but no brain were flooding the list with stupid questions.
