Everything's on and almost all ready to go, but I had to send a few parts back because I got the wrong ones. Front mount is on, only had to trim 2 pieces about the size of a quarter off of the bumper to get it to fit. It's stealth as fuck too, you can only see the core if you really look, and all of the pipes are hidden. The reason it took so long for me to get started is because I was waiting on the manifold, well that's all here. Manifold and turbo are on, turbo inlet hose and everything is connected, bumper is back on, fuel pump is in, injectors are in. To get the turbo to fit inside the engine bay I had to pound the firewall back a little bit with a hammer, but it's all good now. Wastegate is on, I don't have a dump tube for it so it's just open dump right now, that's gonna be loud as fuck. The downpipe flange I got was a 5 bolt, and I needed a 4 bolt, so the exhaust isn't quite on yet. And, the fittings I got for the oil lines are the wrong threads so I have to get new ones of those. That shouldn't take long either, once I get the fittings it'll take <2 minutes. When the car was at the dealership trying to get warrantied, the dude that worked on it took the axle off and never told me. So, upon towing it home, I kept hearing this banging. Well, the axle was slapping around like a donkey cock inside of the diff. Now, the axle and diff are both chewed up.. so looks like they're buying and installing a new diff and axle. All in all everything has gone pretty smooth, alot better than I expected.
man i can't wait for pictures and vids of this thing. it's going to be sick. how are you ahdnling the tuning?
hey while replacing the the diff, might as well slap an LSD in there! sounds like everythign is really comin together, cant wait to see what you'll be doin at the track
not a bad idea, 300 HP and 300+ torque peglegged won't be easy to handle. What did you end up deciding to do for the exhaust?
That's why I'm going to get a hold of them before the car is back together. For exhaust, it's 3" open downpipe. And as for the tuning, I'm going to tune it as much as possible with a VAGcom and software will be Revo BT.
Watch out with that open dump... My friend ran his 38mm tial on his dsm, without a tube... yeah he melted his radiator.. make sure theres nothing around it, cuz they do shoot flames. Sounds like a bad ass setup.
Fuck no, she asked for it back though. She doesn't have much determination, our conversation went like this "Give me my 3 grand back" "No" "yes, it's my money give it back" "..no" "fine I don't care"
