Original 1st post below:

Hi everyone,

I am going to document my build as best I can (WITH LOTS OF PICTURES) since I am sure there are many people that are curious how my setup is going to perform. I also will update with videos of the car once I get her running. I also plan to hit the track and see what kinds of ¼ times I can throw down.

Mods before 034 STK:
Stock downpipes w/gutted pre-cats
UUC VM3 catback
Metal diverters
K/N filter
Jfonz stage 2 tune
H/R street coilovers
Podi mechanical boost gauge
Iforged Flux 2-piece wheels
Everything else stock

On my previous GIAC 93 pump stage 2 tune (w/stock DPs) that I was having over boost/throttle cut issues with (due to failing egts), I put down 295wtq, 265whp on AWE’s dyno.

Upgrade list:
- Precision PT5858 Ball Bearing Turbo, .64AR turbine housing
- Precision 8” x 24” x 3.5” intercooler, rated at 600hp
- 2.5” intercooler piping
- Tial MVR 44mm wastegate
- Tial QR recirc valve, 10psi spring
- 2.8L V6 exhaust manifolds – ceramic coated
- 034 up pipe/downpipe – ceramic coated
- Custom 3.5” 304 SS exhaust, 1 or 2 – 3.5” magnaflow mufflers (rear is removable via V-band)
- Southbend stage 3 drag clutch kit, Fidanza LWFW
- Custom 90mm intake/MAF assembly, OEM Hitachi MAF
- EV14 72lb injectors
- Bosch 044 fuel pump
- Zeitronix wideband/5.0 Bar MAP/EGT multi-gauge and data logging setup
- 034 Motorsport race engine mounts
- 034 Street density transmission mounts
- 034 billet diff carrier and street diff mounts
- USP metal clutch slave w/braided line
- MK3 golf coolant tank
- Custom catch can setup
- DM forged rods, stock pistons/heads/intake manifold/TB for now

Onto the Pictures:








And it was my son's 4th birthday on Friday so he has his birthday hat on :)


Success!


The motor is currently waiting for me to install rods, but that will have to wait till Tuesday after Christmas.... Plan is to have the first start by next weekend! And turns out I need two of the smaller oil pan turbo drain fittings, so Max will need to swap out my larger fitting for a smaller one. Hopefully that doesn't delay me too much....
