Did you notice any change in vacuum? Any change in drivability?

The res is part of the emissions system. I just unboltwd it and capped off the hardline that it runs to, and put a vacuum cap

Yo Zach! Can you post a picture of said delete? I'm gonna be doing this on my 20th this week hopefully and need to do something with the reservoir.

Now that you've been running a couple weeks on the 2.0 coils, do you notice any more of a difference than the initial one?

People looking to benefit most from this are large turbo, high boost vehicles.

I'm tired of running an .026 to .028 gap on a 62mm turbo. If I can just run .032 I'd be very happy. I'm not too keen on the whole GM LS2 conversion, lotta work.

This might be my birthday present for myself.

Yep, as discussed in the thread I linked to, the ability to run this with a BT set up causes less fouling and a much better idle, let us know how it goes!

Well.. silly thing.

When we first fired up the badboy after installing the coils i kinda sorta forgot to plug one in

and it was missing pre hard and the light came on. then figured it out and tried it again and everything was smoooooooooooooth.

so i just assume its from that and it hasnt been reset yet.

usually in the vw world its abnormal if it goes off on its own

acceptable default state of the CEL is On

Did mine today and everything went smoothly but when I took my old coils and spark plugs out they were covered in oil. Is that normal?

Why was this thread even required. We listed all the parts needed and how to install them last year when we got issam at INA to make the first adapters to begin with.

Getting a nice set of pictures for a DIY and providing all the info in a short sweet post was the main reason.
