Thanks guys. This week will be buttoning a few things up, then next week it shoudl be off for IC/Exh fixing’s. I’m also suprised this went as fast as it did, and I’m glad everything seemed to work out without issue. I think the battery that came with the car is dead, doesn’t seem to hold a charge. i left it on the tender last night and hopefully today it will be a bit better. ---

Looks fantastic. Yeah, its pretty much done. Have to bleed the clutch and wire up the TPS/clt temp sensor tonight, then it should run/drive just fine. I’m using the same tune I had on the jetta, so it should only need minor tweaks. ---

wow looks great! that was one fast build! However I have 1 question for you… Why is you dv connected to the tb pipe instead of on the passenger side down by the ic on that pipe where it is located from the factory? Also the stock dv connects up to the nipple on the intake mani and i see you have nothing on there… Can you please explain what you did here? ---
