you need the TT thermostat housing, it bolts right up and has all the plugs for the coolant feed and return lines, and yes u need the oil filter hosuing because one oil feed line is on there, and the oil cooler lines go into it, and an oil cooler if u dont have it....

I should be doing my conversion this winter but Im still deciding between a TT engine swap and 6spd swap(6spd mainly for the gearing) or a TT conversion and staying ATX.

I'm going without the oil cooler for now....

For a TT car, that is probably not a very good idea. Just think about it. The turbos are going to be generating alot of extra heat underhood. An oil cooler is going to help cool the engine and the turbos that much more. They put one on from the factory for a reason. Of all the places to take short-cuts, this is one place NOT to. I would even recomend going with a larger than factory oil cooler mounted in the front for better cooling.

i've turned my boost up to 7-8 psi lately, and that sucker is fast as hell, i can vouch that it would at least stay up with my dad's C5 vette, no bs either cause i've driven both, and might actually take the vette due to low-end torque, and my A/F gauge was running rich off the charts, so obviously i have more psi to work with.

Iceman3K15 · 09-28-2003, 02:00 PM

ok, ya'll talked me into it. doing the conversion in 2 weeks, so I'm tracking down an oil cooler as we speak

Blue-GTO · 09-28-2003, 11:16 PM

i think oilcooler will be a batter way but i think i wont go with it right now. beside i had a big ass 26x14x3 fmic. i think temp is not a problem to me. one more think acually i'm running nos on this car be4. can i still use it with the turbo after i done the conversion? i had dry kit now is it batter to have a wet kit? how many shots u think it's safe to use up too? i'm thinking of 100 shot of wet kit now.

Blue-GTO · 09-28-2003, 11:17 PM

yeah one more thing i still have to stock piston which is 1:10 cab it hold up to 15 psi of boost and with 100 shot nos without fucking up the engine?

I have everything right now (aside from the wastegate)

Question though... I have a 3sx stg III 4 puck clutch for a non-turbo, will that support 300whp or so? Should I just buy a vr4 stg 2/3 clutch or will that not fit in my tranny? My clutch seems to be fine now, but I dont want to take my chances and fry another one.

Iceman3K15 · 09-29-2003, 12:25 AM

yes that clutch will hold the power fine
