Hey all,
Ok, so this is probably a little bit late to start a build thread on here, but better late than never I guess!! I think I had something on here a while ago, but it disappeared some how.. Anyways..
Ill update from the start, to where the car currently sits now, with some major changes about to happen in the near future its probably a good time to get going!!
So here goes.. (ill keep it short and sweet!)
2009 Audi TTRS in Phantom Black..
Started work with a custom carbon intake.. At the time there was nothing else available..
Next up was a full DP back Milltek Exhaust..
And some PIAA Xenon bulbs.. Expensive but work amazing, the quality of light is just outstanding!!
Then it was back to the appearance a little.. So time for some arch mods to make way for some H&R Coils and some 15/20mm spacers front and rear!!
Which resulted in this..
After all that, I decided that the Milltek wasn't quite doing it for me, so got some new parts
And ended up with this as a rear section!
And some comparison shots.. Spot the difference lol..
So at this point I was running with OEM software, OEM intake and Straight pipe exhaust. I then decided it was about time for a dyno to base line the car with these mods!
360hp / 370tq
And then back it up at the track..
Not bad from essentialy a stock car!.. I was pretty impressed.. But needed more, and the launches could be better with the addition of a WOT Box, something that I had installed on my previous 2.0T FSI S3..
And then all hidden in the fuse panel.. Totally stealth!
Well, kind of stealth!! lol..

Made a bit of a mess..
Now it was time for some more mods.. Starting with H&R anti roll bars front and rear..
Custom solid shift bushings
And a gutted stock Audi Downpipe..
We then went on to improve a little on the flow of the stock downpipe with some extra welding work..
Before
After
Now the exhaust is totally catless, and no silencers.. Looks pretty cool, and sounded insane!!!
Then it was onto the Haldex.. Nice new remote Gen 4 controller installed
And poly bushed front end too..
Along with a totally solid CNC lower engine mount
And some home made stealth tail pipes.. From Audi they cost something stupid!
After all that.. It was time to go back to the track.. Remember, still OEM software!

So a nice little improvement over the last time.. Launch helped a lot, and the suspension and Haldex too!!
Now some new wheels and rubber!!
Custom made Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3 in a 18x10 ET45 fitted with 265/35 Toyo R888's
And a comparison from stock side to side!
Now it was time to change out that abortion of an intake that I had made.. Far too much hot air being sucked into the engine bay, and with no intake available for the TTRS at that point, I went with a PiperCross filter in the stock Audi Airbox, with some little tweaks in the form of a cold air feed and heat protection..
And blacked out the front and rear too..
Which brought me around to GTI International 2010..
Now with Stage 1 software.. Ran a pretty good time!!
But resulted in a roasted clutch and this..
Too much grip I think! haha..
So then, some new summer wheels, which changed the look a little of the car!!
And the first prototype intake from ITG was installed..
And then some tasty brakes!!!
Which also looked pretty nice on the car too
So that brought me round to the early part of summer 2011, where I felt the car needed a bit of a change.. So opted for a Frozen Grey wrap!
Then did the trip to Worthersee, which was pretty epic too!
By which time the new race inspired floating discs were ready to install..
Time for a bit of a bigger turbo, thanks to Owen Developments, who played with the stock turbo, to achieve just under 500hp!
And a dual nozzle AEM Water / Methanol injection kit too..
Complimented by the new Carbon ITG intake kit that I still have today.. Looks beautiful!!
Now it was time for GTI International 2011.. And the car ran ok, but with some problems that we would discover after the event, meant the times were a little slower than expected..
Still the fastest TTRS currently at a 11.61 1/4 mile

I had always wanted some nice Recaro Pole position seats in the car, and an opertunity came round that I just couldn't turn down.. The best seats out there in my opinion and look great too!!
So then it was time for some serious work..
I wanted to future proof the engine for BIG power.. So that meant built internals, and some other tricky bits too.. Non of which were available, so parts from my engine were sent away to the US to be reverse engineered by CP Racing Pistons and Integrated Engineering for the rods!
Ill let the pictures do the talking here..
All of that resulted in the following engine spec
* Ported/Flowed/Polished + CC'd Head Work
* Super Finished 2.5T FSI Crank
* 10.0:1 Compression CP +1mm Race Pistons
* Super Finished 'Race' CP wrist pins
* Integrated Engineering Forged Connecting Rods
* ARP Rod Bolts
* Calico Big End Bearings
* ARP Head Stud Conversion
All lovingly put together by the same engine builder responsible for the Skoda UK Boneville World Record car!!.. Also, pretty cool I thought!!
Im planning to remove the head again, maybe next year at some point to have cams and Vave train kit fitted.. Just to help with being able to flow a little more and rev to 8500+rpm.. Both of which are being developed as we speak based on parts from my engine.
One cool thing about the build is the CC increase due to the head work and overbore..
Stock = 2,480.16cc
JC Engine = 2,541.88+cc
Doesn't sound much but thats over 60cc of extra displacement, which should really help things along!!
And now its time for something new..
Visited APR UK to test fit this little beauty!!..
So thats it for now.. Ill make sure that I keep this up to date from now on with all progress moving forward..
I for one am really excited about the future of the car, and can't wait to see how she goes with the new mods!!
