whats even better is hes not using the rebar they give you with that intercooler… so he has no impact protection, and hacking the bumper out is not necessary at all… i remember when i first got into the 1.8t world people were trimming the bumper a little bit, but not that much. then they realized there are more efficient cores that fit behind the bumper. picture posted on [VWVortex.com](http://VWVortex.com) ---

For some reason my car liked to eat header gaskets Now I know what the funny “oscillating EWG” noise was. I thought my boost solenoid was crapping out or something, actually it was the header gasket leaking. New gasket should arrive on wednesday and I’ll be good to go for LVD this weekend and maybe some festivities on friday night.
