 ;D ok so I destroyed the VW factory alt. bracket. Remove the water pump POS .. I have read many places that it blows ...

So I ordered another high dollar part ... man this thing is a money pit for sure.

no more stinkin water pump sucking on the engine .. and routing should be a breeze.

* but a part must be made to do this right !

Oh and I got the one in two out model ... HD 55GPM ! this vw is going to run cool !

Ok so now I can go spend Sat looking for parts and bits....

Should be running and on the road in a week .... I am really concerned about making sure the engine runs cool.

So my list grows ...

Drain the GAS
install stage 3 clutch " when it shows up !" I hate mail order .... i want it now

degrease engine bay and paint
mount radiator
order front bumper and LED lights

ok so I need my welder and some sheet metal fab ...

water pump and alt test fit complete ... I am not sold on my location 100% I did run a new oil line from the oil pump/cooler to tOK my radiator is done ... I found a Passat donor today at pick and pull... much better option than the Quantum IMO.

Just a little bigger and has straight hose outlets...  so I had time to fab the Radiator support. this is rough til I can get her welded up ..
he turbo much cleaner ... IMO what do ya think ?
