Subscribed! Nice ABA man. I own an Audi but I’ve belt many ABA’s I absolutely love this motor. Not much content on these. Please keep posting. We’d love to see some in car videos and some pulls when she’s all ready!

Nice setup bruh, I bought a 97 jetta GT in July and picking up another aba block to build a turbo setup myself. Love the 8v motors, reliable and good an fuel.

That was cool....keep up the good work!

love the work you did! its obvious you dedicated a lot of time to this and its really impressive. Im new to ABAs, my mk2 jetta coupe has one in it and im trying to learn more

Good Job o the video. I cant wait to see the next.

Love it! Had the same in my trek edition 2.0 mk3. Damn I miss it. Moved on to mk5 rabbit 5cyl now, wanting to boost it as well now. Excellent build and video. Btw, I remember thinking how much of a hassle it was to take my intake manifold off my Mk3 anytime I’d have to do any work. Now on an mk5, it’s worse😂.

@@smokess1763 if you don’t port it it’s the same function as the stock manifold but yes my head is ported and polished to fit the manifold. The ports on the intake gaskets are matched to the AEG manifold but the ABA ? Is not. So to port match the aba head is technically also matching the AEG manifold so it all works out
