good job!Thanks for all the replies
I like all the suggestions. Yes I have a 3" 90 degree SS elbow that I need to weld onto the exhaust still to have it come out the back. I like the idea of a clear timing cover, I have the upper cover off now and it looks cool with the gears in the open. I forgot to say this car will be a street/track car for the most part running 1/4 mile occasionally. Depending on how fast it is with how light the car is, I may add a roll cage but I don't know yet for sure, I haven't driven it yet. Dsmspick said to lower it first and I think that is what I will do if I can find some used drop spindles or springs. I don't want to cut into those brand new front fenders just yet if I dont have to. I think if the wheel gap clears up it may look better.

Here is the turbo setup, stock 14b that I rebuilt for now with aftermarket manifold. Hard piping for fresh air side for clearance issues. Intercooler piping is a mixture of stock hoses and silicone/aluminum piping, again for fitment. I got the manifold with the engine and it doesn't look like the best of quality but it will have to do.
As for the wastegate dump, can someone enlighten me on what that does? If I did this, I would need a new 02 housing right?
Another question. Should I put the front bumper back on and cut holes in the fender for the bumper bracket, or leave it and keep the clean fender look? The bumper is also painted black, this is an old pic

Hi guys, People were wanting to see my build progress so far, so here are a couple pics. 1990 6 bolt 4g63 with 91 harness in a 1974 super beetle. Haven't worked on it in a while but I am having issues with it running really rich and almost flooding it self. It has a walbro 190 lph pump on a stock FPR, I want to check fuel pressure to see if there is too much at the rail. Also trying to get a throttle cable hooked up and adjusted (Easier said than done with 2 cables and working in a really tight space). Right now just wanting to keep the engine stock and get it running properly. I want some help and HONEST opinions on the car and how it looks or what I should change. Please tell me, I want this to be an awesome car. Give me motivation, being a auto tech it is hard to go to work for 8 hours and come home to work on more cars, .

-Built trans: with Heavy duty side cover, super differential, transmission mid mount, stage 2 clutch disc and pressure plate, etc.

-upgraded front suspension: urethane bushings everywhere, caster fix sway bar bushings (yet to be installed), gas charged strut cartridges, front disc brakes, strut bar brace (yet to be installed)
Interior: glowshift boost, tach, water temp, oil psi gauges, dynamat
Tires: mickey thomson radials in rear on 8" wide rim, bridgestone potenza RE-11s in the front on 6" wide rim
Engine: Resealed and rebuilt, aftermarket exhaust manifold, EGR delete, 3" exhaust, Honda civic dual core radiator for fitment, fuel lab fuel filter w/ 6 AN lines, walbro 190, external oil cooler with AN lines

Before all the hoses, wiring, piping, etc. I plan to build a shroud around this so it is sealed off from the inside.

After everything. Yes there is a spal fan on the intercooler to simulate a constant 45
Great work
They rotate the same directionSorry if i missed it...
But how?? Did you get around the natural rotation of engine/trans since its facing the opposite direction of travel?
