Some updates: I decided that 6psi wasn’t enough but because my MAF is “inseperable” I needed to switch to at least coilpack ignition. But, since OBDI coilpack is limited to 36# injectors (with chip tuning), I bought a 97 Passat GLX (OBDII 12v VR6 with coilpack ignition), pulled the motor, stripped the car and cut it up for the dumpster. Passat: ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/Passat1.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/Passat1.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/Passat2.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/Passat2.jpg) What remains until the junkyard comes to get the gas tank (including the back bottom half): ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/photo-2.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/photo-2.jpg) I then ordered some parts and swapped for others. 42# injectors, C2 42# software, intercooler, piping, 255lph Walbro, 4" MAF housing, C2 3mm (8.5:1) headspacer, 10# spring to add to my 6# one (16psi total) and many maintanence items for the block. MAF Housing, ECU with software, headspacer: ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/DSC00163.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/DSC00163.jpg) I semi stripped the block, semi cleaned it and it’s partially painted/assembled now: ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/IMG_2489.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/IMG_2489.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/IMG_2488.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/IMG_2488.jpg) Pulled the motor in the Corrado: ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/IMG_2493.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/IMG_2493.jpg) And cleaned the engine bay a little: before: ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/IMG_2504.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/IMG_2504.jpg) after: ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/CleanBay.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/crusinvw/CleanBay.jpg) This is where I’m currently at now. I still need a stronger DV and clutch. I had the car dynoed at 6psi with the cams and 10.5:1 head gasket and made ~225whp. The plan now is to run 16psi and make around 375-400whp. The hope is to finish this before the end of Janurary and head back to Moon Performance for another dyno. More to come. ---

I had thought about standalone but it’s not necessarily what I wanted or able to afford. Any more power would be overkill and even though the drivability of the car would be better, I don’t have the cash to purchase and tune it. At least for now, chip tuning is fine until I get out of school. ---

Wiring harness has been modified and wrapped in some pretty sweet skull and crossbones tape. Bought a southbend OFE SS 4 clutch as well. ---

The compressor housing neck will probably get cut, turned and welded back on. That or I’m going to try making a short runner with an old manifold. ---
