mmm Turbo sneak peak and 01-03Grill on my 05!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...X/111_1126.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...X/111_1130.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...X/111_1134.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...X/111_1137.jpg so i got the kit as all of you know...but some stuff i didnt like...i.e. the fuel mgmt that it came with so i sold the safc2 and i still have the tsi fuel unit but i think im gonna throw that out... as you can tell i have 2 bovs one is the tsi one and the other is a HKS ssqv...had to upgrade :giggle: next that manifold does NOT come that way from tsi...:screwy: i had it ceramic coated in black by a local place...not only does it look better...but its efficient in holding heat in cause the ceramic is inside the ports also...=prevents heatsoak so all i needs in engine mgmt...but i want to get a vis carbon fiber hood first... its greddy emanage vs aem ems...if i can afford ems i will get it...but obviously emanage is cheaper... oh and heres a picture of the grill (01-03 "Type R" Grill) on my car...i think its better than my homedepot ish...from the picture you can see how it doesnt fit...the minor gap on either side...i dont care its a tradeoff...i like it! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...X/111_1142.jpg :sweet: |
ehhh...to much of a gap for me |
gap isnt probably noticable that much, turbo settup looks great in black man :tup: |
i took it at that angle for a reason...to show you... from the front its not as bad...hey its better than my homedepot mesh thing...(look in my sig for that ugly pos grill) too bad there are no aftermarket grill...so this is the best i can do now...i think its alright...i can always fill in the gap with diy fiberglass and stuff... |
Awesome man props to you,, cant wait to see completed pics! |
boost can u take a pic of the grille straight on??? thanks |
sure..but not tonight... ill take one tomorrow during the day and post it tomorrow if i remember.. |
Does an upside down starion intercooler fit well in the front of a 7th gen? They are a pretty nice core and can be picked up cheap. I was planning on going with the small $80 bar/plate intercooler off ebay but I have used a starion ic before and even with the tiny charge pipes was able to make pretty good power. Later Randy |
its hard to find a starion fmic in good condition... but anything can fit with a lot of cutting...:giggle: |
remember to take pics! |
its raining...you still want one? |
yes......rain is water and clear go take those pics! 7th gen forums owns you |
blah fine ill go to my garage soon and just take crappy pictures... |
lol, its been 7 hours, i think something happened.. someone call for help |
lmfao |
All these turbo 7th gens are awsome. Makes me mad i wasted money on a used truck for my wife:( Bitch can wait for the new furniture, I'm getting a turbo next summer:) |
oh shit i forgot all about this haha...now its dark!! ill take it tomorrow in the day...its suppose to be sunny... |
^^ha-he must of fallen in all that water!. i have the same kit on my car. get e-manage for it. simpile upgrade and works great. oh and that IC pipeing is a pain in the ass. the pipe that comes down off the turbo needs to be 1/2 inch longer or else it will rub on the engine mount and eventually make a hole in itself. pluss u r going to have to drill a hole for the IAT sensor. but it is a good kit non the less. boost junkie- u posted at the exact same time as i was writeing that! |
im kind of torn between the 2....turbo or swap.....i gotsome parts for the swap but the turbo sounds so tempting.....i can do it faster then a swap but swap is so muich cooler but turbo is just as cool .....d'LAWMilngfakjfds nvawe!~ |

go turbo. to me seeing a boosted d17 is a little more unique than a swap and it is way cooler when u r faster. pluss it is cheaper in the long run. |
also how you like the manifold? looks better ceramic coated eh? got pics? read above^^ answer my questions!! haha |
....drill a hole for the IAT sensor yeah i do have pics. u want me to pm them to u? |
yeh sure...and what is this IAT sensor!! |
but then that means i got k20 parts sitting here for nothnig we will see what my next job is...im prob gunna quit and try to get a good paying job anyone know somewhere? with goodpay |
resell the k parts... intake air temp? |

so the thing in our intake has to be extended to the new intake blah!! ok i can deal with that... and that pipe that rubs can be wrapped with something or a shield can be made... where them pics at?!?! |
yeah the intake air temputur sensor. it might cause the engine to throw a code once and a while without it so u might as well go ahead and install it. wont take but a min. |
thats a good thing to know...:tup: pics pics pics pics!! |
