Word! Reminds me of that interchange you kept getting us lost on.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk, which means I'm probably on the throne.

turbo goes in on Saturday.

just hearing Brandons car at idle gets me excited to have it done. can't wait to drive the car after it's done.

Love the progress!

Few questions because I too plan on going ko4!

1) How are your oem pads/rotors holding up now with the ko4?
2) Did you install your stage 3 clutch after Ko4? I was wondering how long mine would last when I go Ko4. I'm at 6,000miles.
3) Where did you order a Magnaflow 3" catback? I wasn't even aware Magnaflow made a 3" ?
4) Is the ko4 a lot louder then the ko3?
5) Are you going to be upgrading your dv?
 
#142 ·
1) They seem to be holding up fine, but I do plan on upgrading after these wear out.
2) My clutch started slipping after 4000 miles with stage 2 (car had 7000 miles on it). I would bet the stock clutch won't last very long at all.
3) hottexhaust.com or something like that. 475ish shipped
4)It definitely makes more noise, not a lot though.
5) Not as of right now. My 2011 has a rev C valve which is an upgraded version of the piston D

mine is from there and it is 3".....then it splits to 2.5" and goes to the 4" tips.
 
#149 ·
Yea I plan on dynoing at some point. I got a mk3 for the winter so I probably won't be driving this much after it starts snowing.

Anyone want to compare tips? :D

And I probably won't make it to BBE tonight either, I'm going to meet up with the guys at HS to run some logs.
