that woodgrain!

Where do you buy the fittings that thread the airline through the metal? (4-pieces in the picture)

Thank you,

[2slowT]

They are bulkheads and Will at BagRiders above has them.

My new trunkish setup

one of my favorite hardline setups

They're called bulkhead unions.

gotta question guys. ive messed with air before but never hardlines. are you guys running push to connect bulk heads for hardlines? ive only used plastic lines before didnt know if hard lines work in push to connect?

[wagner17]

Most use ptc

[bagged00]

ok thanks, not sure if ima run hardlines yet and show off the tank and the hardlines, or just show off tank and just use plastic lines.

[bboy_jon]

well, actually. I feel like most people (with hardlines) use compression fittings. I used ptc fittings with my old set up, and there are many others who also use them, but compression fittings are just better

Also more expensive and cleaner looking

[bagged00]

no doubt compressions are cleaner but quick searches on google of bulkheads, all ive seen is ptc bulkheads.

[bboy_jon]

swagelok or parker fittings. They can get pricey quick.

This is pretty much exactly what I was gonna do when I get my setup. Was it difficult to do? And does tge compressor get enough air?

[CoopersVR6]

Wasnt to bad, basically cut a piece of wood to mount in there and attached the compressor to that and ran wires/lines behind the carpet, i've seen people put em in smaller spaces so air shouldnt be a problem in there, sometimes i leave the door open on hot days...

[MechEngg]

Man that must get super hot in that compartment when the compressor is running. That is a 380 correct? That thing runs for such a long time in such a heated environment that isn't going to be ideal for it. I would add 2 computer cooling fans to that area, one to supply air and one to suck hot air out

[bagged00]

can you take pics of how you hung your tank? im thinking of just bolting the tank stray to the tray above. but the tanks i got is bigg. like 8 gallon i think. bitch is heavy.

its a 400, would like to put a 444 in there, that was my exact plan was to use comp. fans...ive had it like this for a month so far and havent had any problems, ive had this same compressor in my last car too for 2 years prior, would like to upgrade soon, dont know the dimensions of 444 so not sure if itll fit or not

its bolted strait to the tray along with the v2 manifold and relay, this is a 5gal from bagriders, full spare/tools still in the spare tire compartment too, that was my goal was to not have any air ride stuff on the floor of the trunk

[bagged00]

^nice, so it didnt pull that tray down any? i plan on doing a fake wall then running air management between the fake wall and seats that way its still accessible if i have any problems. my neccesities are cleanliness,easy accesible spare tire, easy accessbile air management and trunk space.

[CoopersVR6]

It's attached to the metal that's under the rear shelf, I just removed the shelf and drilled holes

[mveitenheimer]

just the beginning of the install but am very pleased with the compressor location it's quiet as hell inside the car.

[vwguygti98]

here is my recent setup...nothing to fancy but they are real crystals and the tank is hand painted...

[deanomac]

the keg is a guinness keg

i just trimmed it all in leather to match the s-line seats, but need to trim tyhe sides and rear of the seats aswell

what you guys think??

^^^ Nice and clean! Would look sick with hardlines

Thanks! I agree, however, I was was trying to keep the number of connections (aka potential leaks) to a minumum so I stuck w/ the 3/8" tubing for now.

Lets see what next season brings.

Tom, your V2 install is by far one of the cleanest I've seen. It was great meeting you at VAG Fair and I look forward to seeing you in OCMD!

If you want to change up anything, drop me a line and I'll make sure you get taken care of

[glimark]

Trunk for now need to repolish the tank. Future holds hardlines with a floating gauge and a quick disconnect hose fitting .
