When I did mine, I used a pulse setting to keep the heat down. Prepped first by using a buffing wheel across the seams and above/below about two or three inches. Then, I laid a small bead, about an inch long. Moved the frame 90 degrees to the next side and laid down another small bead. Moved again, small bead. By the time I'd get back to the first bead it had cooled down and I just tied in another inch and moved to the second bead. Repeat until the seams are as sealed as possible (while leaving some spots for drainage). Then I cleaned up the edges with an abrasive wheel so it looked tidy and finally buffed the spatter clean.

Keep up the good work!

What kind of paint/coating are you using after welding?
PRY4SNO wrote:Ummm... more info on that filter, please! Where are you mounting it, what's the service interval, etc etc.
PRY4SNO wrote:Well done... that's a pretty badass filter and supply solution. I've started to reassess what I have/where I'm going with my build that way after having had a CR TDI for the last couple years. I'm about maxxed out on stock-ish set up and a DW300 right now, so when I go to upgrade the fueling, looks like I'll take a page out of your playbook here.
Manifolds look alright, those done by hand? Thought Mr. Gerner did CNC porting nowadays...
What's the community/manufacturer support like with that standalone ECU?

Not much room on the firewall is there in these cars !!
I wish I would have gone with the red Audi coils in hindsight in my car to free up space .
