    I think we already had a discussion on this. The software is by C2 and these guys know how to deal with DBW vehicles. I mean, they already have MK4 VR6 turbo kit out there...

    The MKIV has the air box on the driver side. along with the MAF sensor. it only makes sense to put it in as close to stock location as possible.

    There isn't enough room between the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold. Also, keep in mind we are trying to keep the cost of the kit DOWN, so running a bunch more tubes when we don't have to doesn't really make sense. Don't worry, we're almost done.

    fits like a glove BUT... needs a solid lower motor mount, which will be supplied with the kit

    This is the dogbone mount, correct? Will my mount with poly inserts suffice?

    What's the estimated price range for this puppy? I want to start setting a large chunk of change aside for it.

    Looking sweet fellas! Looking sweet...

    I can visualize the USRT mani at the front with the throttle body opening on the passenger side and a FMIC with the flow going from driver side to passenger side.

    mmmmm Stage 2 is looking good.

    P.S.
    Solid dogbone mount will be a bitch! Too much drone and vibrations in the cabin especially at idle... Oh, well one learns to sacrifice one comfort for another...

    I'm thinking of a similar setup.

    why the solid dogbone?

    Also, is there a change to the compression?

    Too many questions and no time to look through 25 pages on other thread..

    Probably because there is too much rocking of the engine with the OEM mount and the downpipe can't handle all the twist.

    No, not for stage 1 at least.

    well, looks like i can leave work with an evening bump...

    the car looks back together, but i don't notice any real changes.

    what's that oil line doing there???

    and what are those bright green things

    now i see it... it's way back there hiding.

    that's it for now. should have some dyno numerals shortly. stage 2 will come right after.
