Looking good Paul & I thought our engine bays were cramped from factory

I'm liking the OEM goodness on the new front bumper though hope thats not a CF lip with the drop your running

You going to run it with that screen on the Turbonetics turbo? The only thing that will prevent being sucked in is small children & animals

Thanks, Daren. Yeah, it's extremely tight for space in there.

It's the ABS plastic lip from Mach V. Though, I have a good feeling that the car won't be able to get out of my driveway now. With the lip, it actually sits about an inch lower than the Blitz bumper did. Not good, because I used to scrape a small amount with the Blitz... I'll ptobably have to at least raise up the front suspension a bit to compensate.

I have to run that baby filtering screen until I relocate my fuse box and BOV's... again... Otherwise, there's no room for a 4" pipe or an element.

Out the front bumper FTW!!!!

Just finished it. Turned out nice.

PBR huh Paul? Looks good!

 

[99gst_racer]

Full Flavor!!!

I picked 'em up because a PBR sounded good last week and I still have a few left over. Makes for a great garage beer.

Looks good man. Now you just gotta work out the kinks and get that bad boy running right. You using the link v3 or AEM on this thing?

 

[RipperXX]

Sweet, get that shit a running!

 

[Bluefire16]

Ive heard of some people using socks or panty-hose as a screen....just an idea, i mean they will filter at least a little better than that metal cover....

 

[kahl23]

Yeah, but think of it this way, do you think a sock or pantyhose will retain anywhere near its correct shape with the suction of a turbo behind it? Even metal mesh that is not thick/stiff enough will deform when a turbo hits boost, I cant see pantyhose doing anything other than getting itself ingested into the compressor.

 

[talon187]

Looks good man any idea when you'll have it on the road?

 

[99gst_racer]

Maybe tomorrow. If not, then probably Thursday. I didn't get a whole lot accomplished today due to having the blowshits all morning.



A few more pictures of the side-exit exhaust:

See previous page of this thread.

 

[Black_Bullet]

Awesome I like the placement of the cutout. I always wanted to do mines in a location like that, Paul did you ever get my pm?...

 

[RipperXX]

Sweet, get that shit a running!

 

[Bluefire16]

Hakcenter, you knew what i was talking about.....but yes please and get a video of this, i wanna hear this thing under boost!

 

[TurboTsiThatFly]

#### it. I give up explaining. It's not like I don't know how this shit is going to work.

These people need to realize that theres a reason your a moderator on this site. because you know what the f*** your doing. and your knowledgeable about this car and obviously others as well. I SAY YOU HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND I SEE NO FLAWS IN YOUR SETUP. ESPECIALLY SINCE NOONE HAS DONE THIS BEFORE. this is a great accomplishment.

Actually, we become mods for being callous and direct. The Wisemen are the damned know-it-alls.




Paul, when will my setup be ready? I wish I had the space to run a cutout there.

 

[99gst_racer]

Well, fluids are in. I just need to bleed the clutch, brakes, and power steering yet.

For some reason, one of my fuel pumps isn't working. It's the in-tank Wally. Worked before I re-wired it, so I'll have to take that all apart and see if I wired it wrong. Aside from that, I need to pick up a radiator cap because I've seemed to have lost mine. That and I need a 2" t-bolt clamp for one of the IC pipes, and I should be ready to fire it up.

I'll post the first start up video tomorrow night, provided I get the other fuel pump working.

Yeah, for the first time ever, we're completely sold out of all sizes other than 3.5". Go figure, right when I need one... I'll just have to run to NAPA tomorrow on my lunch break and pay twice as much as normal for a few.

 

[viperlp01]

Figures... How much do you pay for them?? I was debating on what i should run. I like the constants but they dont look nice... Kinda weird looking... Is it your relay that isn't giving it power??? You got them hooked up right paul ...
