Made some progress on the big turbo jetta project. combined a TDI and 1.8T trans and made a limited slip, big tooth syncro, close ratio custom trans. or something like that. lol

Painted the shaved engine bay. And made 3 big Summit racing, FrozenBoost and ATP orders to get the rest of the missing pieces.

Made a sweet -4 oil feed, -10 oil return, -10 coolant return line all Aeroequip and stainless bling.

Wrinkle coated the throttlebody.

this weekend I am making a polished stainless power steering res box, coolant res box and hopefully getting the engine back in this bitch.

Dropped it off at the dealership for the following reasons:

1. groaning sound at speed
2. knocking in front end at low speed
3. leaking axle seal (AGAIN!)

Turned out to be a worn out rear wheel hub, worn out swaybar endlinks, and yet again the infamous leaky axle seal.

similar problem the orignal owner of my evo was having… they kept fucking up on the axle seal, tried replacing it 3 times and still leaked. he then took it to a more competant dealer and all was well.

The pass side is leaking now though.

Driver side was the culprit beforehand.
