Killr BFI 2.0 Turbo
Our intentions with this car were to create a clean example of a MK3 without breaking the bank, while being able to utilize and showcase as many of our off the shelf parts as possible. While some liberties were taken and minor and significant modifications were made, we still feel as though we remained true to our original goals. The end result speaks for itself .
This 1998 Ginster Yellow Driver's Edition GTI was purchased from a fellow vwvortex member 40 days prior to the last major show of the year, H20 International. We set a tight deadline for ourselves planning to have it ready for our booth at the show. With10 out of the 40 days leading up to the show being dedicated to paint and body we had our work cut out for us.
After several late nights and weekends, the majority of the mechanical work had been handled, and it was time for the body shop to do their thing. Waiting patiently for it's return we finally received it back with our deadline fast approaching. The mad dash began to reassemble the car and have it looking it's best for the show, all while trying to handle the regular duties that come with with being a vendor .
Fortunately it all came together, just like the A-team, and the car was on display as planned in Ocean City. We were able to get the Bee on the dyno upon arriving home so that we could get an idea for what kind of power we were seeing at the wheels. Our initial dyno run yielded 264 whp / 281wtq. Since that day we have made some noticeable improvements, including a modified USRT short runner manifold and a more aggressive cam. We feel confident those changes significantly increased power.
