I am looking to rebuild my 1.8T engine for about 350-380hp and I am on the hunt for a forged engine, turbo and manifold.

Ideally looking for a built engine.

Thanks in advance.

I think there are some on eBay, but from my opinion I’d rather get it built myself so I know exactly what parts are used and where they are sourced from - in some instances people have used 2nd hand parts that have failed.

For 350-380 bhp you may not need to forge if the torque comes in smoothly without any spikes. There are several examples on here running 350+ without Forged Rods

Exhaust manifold is difficult unless you get a Chinafold and then get it ported - but it’s not an easy job.

forged engine below, but missing turbo and injectors

Thanks all, I am in touch with the chap on Ebay and weighing up the options, I missed out on an engine last week. As its being used on track I want to get the engine done right from the start so will do rods and pistons to have more durability.

It's a balance of time for doing a build for me atm vs. buying one right now.
