Holy crap I love this car. Great video.

Such a good looking build.
GLWS.

This should be an awesome project.
This truck looks like a solid find.

This car is amazing.
Really impressive work.

I got the VEMO ~14.7volt VR from Marc @ EFI Express the last I needed one...

This sounds like an awesome project. Nice find.

Check out the show 'UnREAL'. It's on Hulu but also apparently the Lifetime network (is that an actual thing?).
It's about the production of something scripted like The Bachelor/ette and it and the cast are both excellent.

Here's a trailer for ya: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V ...

Ringbearer is correct, you should also replace the receiver dryer (I did that too)... I might actually have a spare if you need it... I can check.

Must haves:

This was required for my S6 to 'add' a low pressure port where the low pressure switch is, I do not ...

I completely rebuilt the entire A/C system in my UrS6 (new compressor/condenser/evaporator and flushed lines) as well as refilled the A/C system in my 200 20v using the tools I'd just acquired. You have far more technical and mechanical knowledge (especially about these vehicles) than I do and it's ...

What is different about the 2B kit that it doesn't require either?

Nice project!

I love this car/project. The wheels and tires combo is perfect. Nice work!

Extremely valid point!

Epic project! I know you have the 98 A8 motor already, but if you are able to source an S8 4.2 (ABZ?) it would rev a bit higher, and I think the compression is higher as well for a bit more power.

A similar idea crossed my mind reading the 1.9TDI in a 90 thread after I'd seen a rally golf.
This project is awesome. :-)

That looks phenomenal.

This line made me smile ear-to-ear.
I know that feel. Nothing quite like a type 44.
Cool story.

Correct, this also includes the reccomended aftermarket (Iroz, i think?) downpipe... motor/turbo are stock.

No need to duck. ;-)

Yes. Please post pics. That would really be great.

I am currently in contact with Marc at EFI about a tune and his downpipe.

Stromung uses their (EFI) downpipe with their kit to make a true turbo back system.

I have it on my 200 20v. Tufty installed it. AFAIK it is a direct fit.

I'm on work travel but could get photos of it when home this weekend.

Happy new year indeed!

In for updates, this project will no doubt be glorious.

The R4CEW4GN sounds awesome!

Thanks for compiling all of this information loxxrider.
I've reached out to James (terrybullwon) directly.

I like the updated coolant return line, replacing the stock rubber line when it's cooked is a real pain.
Do you happen to remember the adapter you needed to match the threading on the coolant manifold?
