I would think a crank sensor or cam sensor is gone, if you can scan the car with vagcom it will tell you, where are you based? If you can't scan and need to throw parts at it I would start with making sure all the grounds are clean and tight then the crank sensor.

Got any videos yet?

Looking really good

Look for a vacuum leak, most likely the coil pack though. Where are you based?

Sounds like a recipe for some nice noise. I bought some eBay "special" coil overs for my vr6 many years ago .... It can go around a bend but the ride is a bit harsh, how you planning on lowering it? And you shouldn't need any wheel spacers.

That's a standard tax class, my 420d and vr6 is the same class. That looks nice and tidy how much is it setting you back?

I agree the painter looks very good, almost looks like he can skip polishing. I'm amazed out how much tire you got to fit as well.

Got new rubber that fits under the arches. Nothing special as its a set to tune on (and I'm not really bothered at this point)

I must admit I was looking at such turbo you talk about but couldn't find one that would be shipped quickly. That's a eBay gt30 turbo think it cost 120 quid, I plan on seeing how long it last and I'm on the look out for a real gt35 or hx35-40 but I would also look for a eBay special ball bearing gt35. I will be sure to let you know how the Chinese turbo holds up.

Throttle body

Started intercooler piping, need to relocate the throttle body now.

Well as the title says this was my first car I bought ten years ago. I converted it to a vr6 8 years ago drove it around for 2 years then couldn't insure it. Since then I've have a few company cars and still have one now. So what I have here is a car that I don't want to get rid of even low it needs alot of tlc, so iv finally started building it up as a budget toy. I have it ruining on mega squirt 1 with 630cc injectors and a 8:1 decompression plate so it's now getting a load of budget boost. This is not going to be a expensive build

This is the sort of build I wish I could justify (with the missus of course:-P) Amazing so far look forward to seeing the end results.

Like I said I got a gt30 im installing, allready looking at a gt35 lol. hopefully I'll get mine done for next month, I'll upload some videos if I do. insurance starts 1 of April so I got to get it done :-P
