Just joined for a look around for some ideas, I was actually looking for suspension threads on Google and ended up here, haha. My T4 has a 1.8T conversion.
I have had various projects over the years and I made the effort this time to make video's of progress and the journey.
Feel free to checkout my YouTube channel if you are interested.
Cheers,
Tom

Love the You Tube threads. You didn't post your timings / speed on your run?
What gearbox did you end up fitting?
Were the boxes completely wrecked or was it the same repeated component failure?

Hey, thanks for the replies. I haven't got notifications turned on so had no idea people replied :-) The 1.8T conversion is far easier than people think so I've been thinking of doing a "T4 1.8T How To" video series? Would people be interested in that? This would be a basic swap with 150-180bhp as the standard 02B box is only rated to 250nm.
As far as scones, cream and jam go...I'm sorry to shatter the Cornish campsite dream, but Cornwall for us locals is about festivals, drinking cyder and having disposable BBQ's on the beaches that the tourists don't know about! haha I haven't seen a scone in years!
My latest run was 15.42 seconds but that was with a base map that isn't very efficient. My new AIRTEC intercooler arrives this week, its a custom job I've designed for 1.8T converted T4's that will soon be available to buy direct from AIRTEC. I'm also in contact with Quaife to get an 02M clocking plate which will change the game for 1.8T/S2 powered T4's! Fingers crossed!
If you guys have any ideas of things you would like me to do video's on, please feel free to let me know as the T4 project has been great fun so far!
Anyone else on here on T17 and going to VW Action on 22nd April?
Cheers,
Tom
