    As soon as the MODS let me attach files, I will post pics!
    So far I have had to weld new intake and exhaust pipes, machine a oil flange and weld the oil return line bung to the oil pan to get this set up to work. It will be worth it to have an old school hot rod!
    Because the oil flange I machined down will not work, I will have to machine a new custom oil flange to clear the shift linkage bracket and the fab the shift linkage to work around the turbo.
    If life and school allows I should be done in two weeks before I can powder coat everything!

    There isn't really a "let you attach" files thing, as much as most people have a hard time doing it right, at first. I had the same problem at first. Host your pics somewhere, Photobucket, etc, then put them in the message in the proper format, with the [img] at the beginning and [/img] at the end.

    What part of Colorado are you from? Sorry for off topic, I just rarely see Scirocco owners in Colorado.

    First off, How did you fix your account? I would rather not open up accounts just for pics.
    Second, I am in the Littleton area. As soon as I get my rocco put back together I will be cruising the streets once more!

    Excellent, and I have always used photobucket for photos. Not sure if attaching will work, maybe someone else will know more about that.

    I used to live in Castle Rock/Larkspur area, my 87' swap is still in Larkspur, Currently stationed in San Diego though. Quite a few MkI guys down in COS area, we'll have to go for a drive sometime.

    Got everything installed and made it 1/3 mile before I blew a hose off... Forgot to tighten a clamp down
    Now it is miss firing on two cylinders... Fuel issue or something; I have some trouble shooting to do!
    Got everything sandblasted and powder coated though!
