i'm a friggin ricer til' wednesday, haha
I got my type b lip via DHL today around lunch time. i've had my car in my garage for the last 2 days replacing a few gaskets. I went ahead and took my OEM lip off, and trimmed up the type b. Then i noticed.........wow, my intercooler looks big! I'ma have to run like this til' i take the lip to get painted, then hopefully have it back by tues or wed at the latest.
oh! I say "ricer" cuz i pretty much have NO lower bumper, everything got trimmed away to fit the i/c and plumbing. Also, some of the stock bonding strips from the OE lip won't come off, so it's just plain nasty, haha.

Rep Power: 0 Holy Moley!! As long as you're boosted and going to cover up the lower bumper area. Btw. i would've probably went for a Polyurethane lip, or a urethane lip. Polyurethane is almost impossible to break. It's like suppper thick and flexable plastic (rubber almost?). The Type-b might crack if you hit something, and you'll be back to square one.

you better. hehe. Actually after a couple days of the spooling and the BOV, you get quite used to it. Just sucks that even MORE people are staring at me now. I will always love the kick in the seat and noises, but dont think it will stay this crazy cool. Ill always love boost though.
Oh, and BTW, if you want to see rice, I need to post my IC being held on by coat hangers, hahahahaha, lol. Straight gangsta sh**. well, Ive had kids for a few days, and no time to make some brackets. I dont want to have an ALUMINUM IC welded, incase it falls off, or makes a hole in it. I should have this fixed in the next couple days. Thursday tuned, too. So we'll see what a big 5 psi can do, lol. I wont boost more than 5 til I retard my timing (time for emanage).
Oh, and BTW, you CAN hit more than 6 lbs with the TSI unit, you can hit more than 10, actually more than 12. I hit 13 lbs at half throttle at 5000 rpms. not good, felt sick as F though, I was like, WHOA!!! the boost controller sucks with TSIs kit, so I have to hook up my greddy profec b I picked up from a friend today, he blew his Si, so he doesnt need it anymore, lol. When my car was going lean and we were tuning, we had my friend let us know, cuz I was looking at RPMs, my friend at my unit (oh baby), and the other guy at my gauges. When it started going lean, he said "uhhhuhuuuhuhuh" haha. I was like "Does that mean lean, haha", he was like, "Yeah, I just got thrown in the back of my seat as I was trying to talk" He all fell over, i saw him fly back, hahaha. It was great. Tryin to talk him into boosting his 7thgen as well.
alright, Peace
