Hey guys! This is the build thread for my 2003 Turbo S! This isn't my first Beetle, I had a 2002 GLS 1.8T. It had a whole ton of stuff from a Turbo S swapped in. Unfortunately, it was t-boned so I took the money, paid off some debt, and bought a cheap Turbo S. Mechanically, this was better but suffered cosmetically.

Obviously the black one was my last Beetle, the silver one being the new one! Hahaha!
What are you going to do to the S? Please, please, don't put that bumper on, like the black one........ :eek:
Funny story! When I had the GLS, somebody backed into my car and broke the bumper. This JDM one came with the car so I just kept the money and threw that one on haha! Well what it honestly needs is a light restoration first.... So over this past weekend, to save any further damage and just to make it look a little better, I painted it with Plastidip! I know many of you guys here don't like it but it's only temporary until I can clean out the garage and paint it silver again!

:cry: I can't look anymore. Sorry. :cry:
Nice to see your build thread.

It's a journey, so keep on working. Are you chipped? That's great upgrade, most bang for the buck.

Plenty of HP. Looking for the high side of HP?

Are you Drag racing? Do you really need it?

Just my ?'s

Damn, I used a lot of ?'s:D
Looking good man. The dip looks pretty slick- all stealth and whatnot. What did you dip your bug with?...it turned out great.

Keep up the good work :bigthumb:
Haha thanks guys! I'm looking to get around 350-400 HP out of this bug! I honestly just used black Plastidip straight from the can. Like I said, temporary until I can get that silver paint job done! Does anybody know where I could reduce some weight on this thing?? Isn't the curb weight around 4000 lbs???
Oh and I have an APR ECU, I just need to install it....hahaha
