Race Prepping our $800 JUNKYARD 1.8T! - Stage 3 Clutch Kit & More Installed!

We’re back working on our budget track Audi TT build, and this time we’re diving into our $800 junkyard 1.8T engine to prep it for battle. We cover all the critical maintenance like replacing seals, gaskets, and timing components — and take it up a notch by installing an upgraded clutch and some essential go-fast parts to handle real track abuse.

This is the engine that’s going to power the TT through upcoming race events, so reliability and performance are key. Follow along as we share detailed install tips, part choices, and what you should always check when reviving a used 1.8T engine.
