2.0L here we go!

Doug, since you're one of the few still running a diverter valve, in this picture is the smallest vacuum line on the diverter valve hooked up to the intake manifold nipple closest to the radiator support, along with your boost gauge? The reason I ask is because I have my diverter valve and boost gauge T'd into the intake manifold just like that, BUT my boost gauge won't go past 10-13 psi. My logs show that I am getting requested though. Any thoughts?

I'm hooked up to that fitting just in-front of the #1 runner on the intake manifold. Got a 'T' coming off of that. One end of the 'T' goes to the DV and the other goes to my boost gauge. Simple. Effective.

Talk to Winston. I think there's something you need with the SW gauge, right?

Yea, that's how mine is hooked up. Interesting, it was fine before the whole build. Maybe something got in the line and clogged it.

Yeah, check the lines and check for a pinch in the lines.

I agree with you about this being the most interesting this I have read on AZ.

I am completely amazed.

I'm trying to purchase this setup right now.

From this thread... this one is the next incarnation of my car. Started in 2009 I think.

Then that drivetrain was sold in 2013.

Fast forward to late 2017 / early 2018 (car sat for quite a few years covered in the garage with no engine) and we have this:

Been daily driven since 2018 and will continue to. Only issues since 2018 are a failed junkyard alternator and a blown junkyard passenger turbo oil seal. Common for the 2.7T especially when using very old junkyard parts.

I am so glad to see an update from 2023, how is it going now in 2024? I just read this as I'm beginning my 1.8t adventure. Hell I'm selling my b8.5 S4 to modify and enjoy the 1.8t for some reason :D
