    Doesn't even come close to the real brutalness of the car, but, it's the best I could get. All the rumbles and bangs are the afterburns / over runs.

    after seing that Expeition leave you in the dust a few times, I think you should have gone the .:R42 route. J/k

    Nice vid. Looks like it plants you in the seat rather firmly.

    I'm surprised no one has commented on / caught the subtle visual change that we made while the car was in the shop ...
    I noticed some red calipers. Please elaborate

    haha @ R42. There is *really* no space for that without getting crazy. 1st through 3rd really smack you back. After that the cars less than steller aerodynamics start to take over. Needs FI.

    I did. Some power lost down low, some power gained up top. Not sure if I am going to keep it on there or go back to the original manifold.

    Great build! Next step for mine, should go a bit quick as I am already 6MT and have a custom harness. Amazing though.

    Dang! Selling already? Being the owner of an almost seven year project I can't see how or why you would finally finish the car only to sell it? That being said it won't sell in two days or anything so you have time but still... GLWS. The whole project is really impressive but the seats are what does it for me, oh those seats.

    I already commented on this in FB, and am curious to see what your next car will be. Think you'll stay in the VAG family? Lots 'o options there.

    Also - was there ever a dyno? Sorry if I missed it.

    Car A.D.D. is getting to me. I normally don't keep anything longer than 6 months. The fact that I've had this car for 2.5 years should speak to how much fun it really is. Thanks for the kind words. I'm not in a hurry. I don't need to sell her, so I don't mind if it sits for a little while. It's a blast and a 1/2 to drive.

    There was a dyno before the new intake manifold and exhaust were done. Haven't gone back to do another round of measurements. I don't really care all that much to be honest.

    I will stay in the VAG / UM family for sure.

    I have installed most of the popular bolt-on mods for a 2008 R32, minus suspension work. I know a lot about electronics and car audio, and have experience with VCDS ("vagcom"). I'm a radar/lidar countermeasure enthusiast. I like track days, autocross, and US Highway 129. I love aural pleasure.

    Interesting...gotta love ADD car owners who build beautiful cars for others to enjoy. I know someone from when I first got my S4 who did everything to his...Widebody, full stage 3, etc...and sold it right after he finished building it to move on to something else. He's had at least 4 cars since then...all built.
    If your gas cap light comes on even if you think you tightened the cap, try pulling on the cap as you tighten it. Worked for me.

    Yea, not so good for my wallet, but yolo? Fortunately my girlfriend doesn't care at all how I spend my money or how much of it I spend on car stuff. She knows I won't spend more than I have to play with. She just rolls her eyes and asks to come along when I get whatever it might be.

    Maybe. Likely not going to get another DSG car.

    It was something like 262awhp and 268awtq before intake and exhaust. I don't remember the exact numbers and I've long thrown out the dyno sheet since it wasn't where I wanted it to be.

    Wait...isn't your car also turbocharged or just the 3.6?
