Street Build 98 Talon TSI AWD "Strong DD"

You are going to have a tight turn in the o2 housing to tuck that back in to the exhaust tunnel and will have to go under the oil return line, your exhaust will be lower than your car. Honestly you aren't making the IC routing that much shorter but you will have a bigger headache with the exhaust.

I'm not knocking your build but just trying to help you avoid some obstacles down the road.

Hey any input is highly appreciated! I see what you mean, just thought I wouldn't have an issue as I already have the pieces cut-off for the o2 housing, will see what happens when I try fit it, I still haven't made the IC piping so the orientation can be changed if anything. Thanks for pointing that out as I did in fact overlooked the return line.

well I'm sure he can get a one piece downpipe custom made to work. it seems like that manifold sits a bit further ahead than most so he might be able to squeeze it in.

I would definitely ask your fabricator about the possibilities and complications first.

unless youre the fabricator. in which case consider all factors.

Yeah am the one Fabricating all the exhaust and IC piping as well, we have mandrel tube benders here and I was tig welder where I work at before moving to quality but am still able to use the equipment.

The project has come to an end and need to sell the car. Will be posting it in the classified in next couple days. If I get $2250 for everything is yours. Currently going through divorce and need the car out of the garage soon.

Damn brother. I hate you are going through that. It all will pass in due time, keep your head up

Thanks man, yeah it will definitely pass.

No chance to throw the car in storage until it all passes? Building a car is a great way to take your mind off stuff!

Prepare for lowballers to come crawling through the woodwork. had that happen with some stuff I was trying to sell recently, told the guy I was getting separated and needed to get rid of anything I could and he started trying to cut all my prices in half because "if I don't get then the wife will just take it anyway" good luck with the sale

Looking at what's done already I'd say the price is lowball already.

New member here. It won't let me message you or reply to the for sale thread. Is the car still for sale?

 

[Jerzm3]

Nope. I purchased it and will continue the current build in the same direction. It is a solid car with solid parts and a solid direction. Once i continue to work on it, i will make a new thread.
