Bay shots with a little wire tuck...

[TylerO28]

Cut the plug off the end, then solder each wire to each side of the resistor, fold over and heat shrink...done

I really find it hard to belive thats all it takes to make the SAI not throw a cel and the readyness is good. With out further coding. If that is really all it takes than thats great! This would be more simple than a mk3 2.0.

[thygreyt]

you might need to get it coded out.

and the resistor should be a 10W 330 ohm.

[vwluger22]

Even being coded out might not work. I know in Mass tunes for the mkIII and I think MKIV the state computer can tell that it has been coded out and the car will fail inspection.

[chadone]

hes not done!

wait till resistors come in, and then its a matter of start removing hoses!

ive been worried that removing the hoses could **** the engine in the long run...Im still not even sure how the n80 even works or the point of the other vacuum in the manifold. local friends have been trying to talk me out of it because its a daily driver in buffalo. im wondering if I should just reroute some around other things so it looks cleaner.

Fred, email into on where you hid the plugs that go on the chain cover that you polished.

Same here. A few older VWs have failed because of no sai. I'm not gonna delete it, just relocate and run the hose under the motor so you can't see it.

[TylerO28]

Go back a few pages and check out where I tucked mine before I deleted it, it fits nicely under the rain tray.

Yes I remember where you had it. You don't still have the relocation kit do you.

[TylerO28]

I do

I have no issue running with no SAI, I'm not gonna be running a cat anymore. But the other line, n80 and the vacuum line...I don't understand them so I don't know the benefits or the cons.

[TylerO28]

Update finally got the fmic installed

Enough room for the oil cooler to work efficiently behind it? Or is that what I'm thinking the smic is ha

oil cooler is in passenger side wheel well... old side mount was in the drivers side

Looked harder and saw it

[TylerO28]

Figured a little bump wouldn't hurt.

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

I would weld up a hard pipe for the driver side. That looks odd having one polished and one silicone. Or paint the passenger side black. Or get grilles.

[TylerO28]

Is actually all hard lines.driver side is just painted...

[TylerO28]

And grilles dont fit.i have the euro 5 bar fog set up sitting on my garage floor now. It's all solid aluminum i bought an injen Mitsubishi evo kit used and the guy gave me every Pipe he had including his old kit which was painted black. If you want a large core to fit in there you can't use grilles or factory fogs lol

i might be deleting the SAI pump "cel-lessly" soon.

will post up on my findings

complete bay shots?

[Sammyscenepoints]

Just spent 3 hours on this thread.
I'll be in the garage all day tomorrow I guess.

Damnit guys

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

What brand fender hardware did you get? I have the DMP kit.

I actually am just using full stainless Allen heads with stainless finish washers

before i do the turbo pipes, i need to move some wires... so more relocation soon.

just for fun i might delete the coolant bottle.

i THOUGHT i was 7 weeks away from being turbo-ed... it will be a little longer... i forgot to account for the price of software!


i think its going to get pushed a bit. hoping to have it done by mid december (post finals) or early january.
-----
current plans: remove coolant bottle, relocate some wires, relocate fuel line and remove the SAI pump.

and some time (before sowo '14) i'll do my beloved exhaust..! and i'll remove the spare tire...

No one ever said that the project had to be done in a matter of months. i think of it as a lifetime project.

Cool, the DMP kit sucks!

[thygreyt]

manifold is back installed. polished it back again, and polished the runners.






engine bay low lihgt


also deleted the coolant ball.

Thanks to the help of TylerO28

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

You should do something with the throttle body. Wrinkle black would pull that whole bay together. But looks good dude

[thygreyt]

sort of a teaser...



i want to test/run the car first before wrapping and tucking the injectors.
and i dont want the cables to scratch the polished mani...
