Nobody will be impressed by that here. We value results over shiny build pics.

So, how much of that stuff did you actually do? Were you the guy who installed the cone filters or did you fabricate the manifold? How did those builds perform?

People ask for pics, others tell me pics are worthless. There is no winning here.

I did all of it except the final welding. I can weld but I have friends that can better because it's their job. They performed well. Let me guess you're looking for dyno plots or time slips now?


I have a feeling no matter what I do it will never get the approval of the trolls here. Dont worry though, you Nancys dont bring me down

I did long time ago for a racecar. It was super nice to use when it was built and we never had problems with it, but what a pain making all the harness/connectors was. Also tools were stupid expensive, I think the crimper alone was 500 bucks.

You can find almost any crimper you want, copied, from china, for under $100 these days. Its not like it was a few years ago. They are good enough for the home gamer.

I put these together at work. Incorporate service loops.

Just read all of this. Holy **** I joined the right forum. Does not disappoint.

side note: I can't even be mad at the b5s4 stuff. I'm a sucker for a nice 2.7t
