LOL, good luck. You only got a couple days now.

**Spooled1.8** · 08-09-2011 12:17 PM

I'm hoping it can get here by Thursday. I can work on it all night, and I have off work all day Friday. Even have sat morning before the show. I think I can pull it off, we'll see!!!

**Spooled1.8** · 08-15-2011 05:21 AM

Car should be running tonight, will keep you updated. Quick question in case I can't reach EPL, what did you 605 guys gap your spark plugs to?

Gapped em to .025, thanks guys.
Here's another question for you, I cut the lower outlet pipe 35mm(1.5") by cutting the end of the pipe off with the original bead and spokes, cut 35mm off and welded the end back on it. This is the outcome...

Shouldn't that bracket still bolt up??^^^
98a4 showing this thing some love....

**Spooled1.8** · 08-19-2011 08:28 PM

Went with ER Intercoolers & carbon shrouds. Engine is in and almost everything is together, car will be running this week :) Quick question, when you guys put the fuel rail on after the injector install, do you guys push down until you feel or hear something or does it seat properly after you bolt it down?

**Spooled1.8** · 08-23-2011 12:37 PM

Car will be running tomorrow, all I have to do is install them.

**Max@034** · 08-23-2011 03:28 PM

Make sure you clean them!

As far as the outlet pipe, My driverside outlet pipe didn't bolt up after modifications needed for it to fit. Bolting it would be wise if you can figure something out, since it will help the likliehood of it blowing off. However, since you have the bead still, probably be fine. Otherwise, you could use a Fab Tab or something similar?

Glad to see everything is getting finished!

**Spooled1.8** · 08-23-2011 07:08 PM

Will do Max, thanks for the advice! I shortened the pipe a tad bit so it now bolts up, I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow.

**Spooled1.8** · 08-24-2011 01:42 PM

Took forever to washout those IC's until they were free of all shavings/metal particles.

Insane to think how much shit they leave in there...wonder if anyone has installed without washing

**Spooled1.8** · 08-24-2011 03:42 PM

The one intercooler was def worse than the other, in total I think it took about 1.5 hours

**Spooled1.8** · 09-02-2011 04:33 PM

Any day now.

**Evilevo** · 09-02-2011 05:19 PM

Finish this ****** already

**Spooled1.8** · 09-02-2011 08:24 PM

If I go to the Grand Prix tomorrow then it wont be running until WED, If I dont go, it'll be running tomorrow...

**2380S4** · 09-02-2011 09:31 PM

I'll be at the grand prix tomorrow and sunday

**odhinnhrafn** · 10-05-2011 04:55 AM

So, did this thing ever get finished? I'd like to know the end results...

**Spooled1.8** · 10-05-2011 06:24 AM

It's done, I just need to get the clutch line bled and replace the plastic basket in the shifter cup. As soon as I got home from H20 last week I caught the nastiest sickness in a while, I didn't go to school or work for 2 days and I'm still trying to get rid of it. When I get out of my finance class at 2 today I'll prob go ahead and work on it.

**odhinnhrafn** · 10-05-2011 08:14 AM

Ah, sorry to hear about you bein sick, sucks. Hope you get over it soon. Bet your immune system will like you more once you get some logs done... :P Can't wait to see some numbers on this thing.

**Spooled1.8** · 10-07-2011 12:57 PM

Bosch 044 Fuel Pump & Drop in kit on the way from 034 Motorsport.
Aquamist HFS-3 and 4QT Tank with Cap on the way from EPL.
Today was a good day.

**Spooled1.8** · 11-25-2011 03:07 PM

She's alive!!!!!! Sounds sooooo good, I missed that sound :) have to clean up the garage now:

Still need to look over everything before I take it out and have any fun with it. Needs tires most importantly.

**MDJ** · 11-27-2011 06:53 PM

**Spooled1.8** · 11-28-2011 05:01 AM

As you can see, I was paranoid about everything since this was the first time it was started in over a year lol.

**Spooled1.8** · 12-08-2011 03:41 AM

Runs perfect! Registered it yesterday, tires and inspection tomorrow. Finals next week, after that I'll install the fuel pump and Aquamist and head up to EPL finally.

Looking good Pete! This may have been answered but how aggressive do you want to get with the tune?

**Spooled1.8** · 12-11-2011 12:38 PM

As aggressive as tony see's fit. I have no rods but I'd like to get the most out of it as possible.

What did you wash it out with, hose and air compressor?

**Spooled1.8** · 12-12-2011 04:36 AM

Water first, then compressor.

**Ribbie** · 12-12-2011 06:51 PM

Thats one thing that bothers me about those and maybe other intercoolers. I understand the debris is a by product of the manufacturing process, but after paying that much sure as heck they could put some time into cleaning them out for you. Maybe its just me. Of course who would not spend time cleaning them, its good insurance. But to see that much debis that it required 1+ hour to clean means there was alot.

Anyway, nice build. Hope to be doing this one day soon.

**Max@034** · 12-15-2011 09:58 AM

Looking forward to the results!

And yes, the amount of material typically present in those intercoolers is disappointing, and unfortunately not a new thing by any means.

I had to spend 2 hours cleaning mine with a combination of water, alcohol, and air.

**Spooled1.8** · 12-16-2011 07:09 AM

Yea it was a massive pain in the ass. My buddy that's been helping me along the way built me one of those DIY pressure testers that awe has on their website. I think I have a massive boost leak somewhere. Torque ramps up and car hits15psi and then just bleeds it all of after 5000rpm to redline. When I get back from Pittsburg on Monday I'll report back my findings.

2 hours... Maybe too much alcohol. JK I know what you mean.

**nefkntym** · 01-10-2012 03:52 PM

I know its been a while but I am interested in knowing what the results were. I just ordered a 605 kit on Friday, I will be going with stock rods for the time being as well. Congrats on getting it up and running, I can't wait to do the same.

**Spooled1.8** · 01-13-2012 02:44 PM

So far so good. Everything is pretty much done, I'll probably have to wait until spring break to get the car dyno tuned though. 18 credits in college+ full time job= no life lol.

**nefkntym** · 01-13-2012 02:47 PM

Same here 16 credits, 46 hours a week at work plus wife and kids. No fun, I feel your pain.

**Spooled1.8** · 03-29-2012 02:07 PM

Haven't updated this in a long time.

Put 3,000 miles on the kit so far and its running great. Also installed the Aquamist HFS-3 kit (and the 044 Fuel pump has been in for months now). Everything working perfectly.

Oil change tonight using some nice motul fluids.
Dyno tune @ EPL on Monday 4/2/2012. It's been a long time coming, I'm very excited at this point.
Will report back with dyno vid and numbers on Monday, stay tuned!

**nefkntym** · 03-29-2012 02:11 PM

Great, looking forward to the results.
