    Since my seats arrive on Thursday (which should finish off my interior)...... I bought stuff to begin cleaning up the engine bay

    IE adapters, tsi coil packs, whanab cap covers (strut, coolant, oil, etc), forge charge pipe (no nipple for dv since I already relocated it) ..... Plan to polish the intake manifold and the charge pipe.....

    Yeah, I'm concentrating my efforts in the same area. I bought the IE valve cover breather and block breather adapters so I can make some AN fitting lines to run to my 42dd catch can. I want to do something about my charge pipe as well. Can't wait to get all this stuff back together. Wrinkle black powder coat and IE red is gonna look pretty bad ass. Next big/ugly object I want to address is the intake manifold. But I think I wana do an exhaust mani at the same time.

    This **** is expensive..lol

    Can anyone help me in figuring out if running et 28 in the front and et 22 in the rear on an 18x9 wheel all around is going to clear my suspension?

  24. 05-23-2012 12:54 PM #1599
    You may need a spacer up front but you should be ok in the rear.

    Switched my DB bushings with Powerflex. Succeeded in getting rid of the DP rattle but feels a little ruff on the freeway and going up hills fast. I don't mind the vibration through the steering wheel but it feels pretty bad coming up through the floor. Anyone know if DB bushings break in and soften up a bit?

    As long as you installed them correctly you should be ok soon. I have the power flex DB bushing also and had similar vibrations as you did for the first 3-4 days. Now a month later everythings smooth except when I leave from a stop. Have to give it a little more revs to smooth out the vibrations from takeoff. No noises or vibration at idle or WOT. HTH.
