Low Price Turbo Swap/Upgrade Opportunity!

Post by Verruckt » Thu Dec 16, 2004 2:13 pm

Sometime during the coming spring, my good friend Mike Shimon may be visiting Europe. He is very very well known in VW/Audi circles in the US. He goes by the nickname Mr. Piggie...I know some of you here have heard of him. An Audiworld search for "Mr. Piggie" will pull up all the info you need.

Anyway, he is an absolute expert when it comes to VW/Audi work. He has done numerous motor pulls/turbo swaps with these cars (I don't even know how many S4's, but more than 20. He travels all over the US to do turbo upgrades) He does absolutely excellent work and is a great guy to boot.

If we can generate some interest, he'd be happy to do some turbo swaps/upgrades while he's in Europe to fund his trip. We can rent a full garage in Germany to do the work. A no frills turbo swap/upgrade will cost in the neighborhood of £750-£1000 depending on current $/£ conversion rate. Other work such as heads/cams/etc will cost slightly more. He is also quite good at tuning, troubleshooting, etc.

You can either provide your own parts or a package deal can be worked out with Buehn Engineering Hybrid Turbos (regular K04, K16/K04, K24/K04).

As soon as the mods get back to me, I'll be a paying advertiser on this site...so let me know if you have any questions regarding this or the Buehn Engineering Hybrid Turbos.

Thanks. :D

It is interested to us on the upgraded turbo (K24/04). The problem is our car can not be done the the installation in German, instead of sending over the kits and procedures to be installed by a local mechanic or expert, can you check out if Buehn Engineering Hybrid Turbos can offer the kits to oversea.

Any further detail on the system.

Cheers

Here's the deal. He will offer full motor pulls/turbo swaps (includes labor for motor pull/turbo swap/new clutch/timing belt/water pump/etc) for right around £1000. He is fully capable of installing cams/tweaking and sourcing fueling kits/other things, but that will cost more than the £1000. We can get him to the UK in April...but I will need help from you guys sourcing a garage we can borrow/rent and tools and setting up dates.

We need to get a minimum of two people to make this worthwhile for him...and it seems like we are getting some interest. If you are serious, please email me at nogaroblue@gmail.com and we can work things further. Also if anyone knows where we can find a lift/facility, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to Europe and Mike has never been here. Thanks guys.
