Dyno! Vids! Kills!

Best I can do is show that is makes a paltry 20psi at 4300rpm, 4th gear... on pump 93, no spool valve, v-Band open scroll .82 housing, stock port head, laggy PTE turbo...

I'll verify in VEMS later on...

I bet it's pulling hard right there

Thanks bud...

I'm just stepping in real quick to let everyone know that with the tax season over & spring in full effect, we should be seeing posts and updates more regularly... Stopped in this morning to bring Marc some fuel for some much anticipated final tweaking in the next days... She's alive and well, though very dirty....

Did a few things this week...

Needed rear pads, so why not take the opportunity to upgrade...

Went with a 310mm x 22mm disc from a D3 A8, using the stock caliper, but with B5S4 pads to accomodate the 2mm thicker disc.

I like the extra 10mm but those holes in the rotor bother me, ocd always wins. What adapter bracket did you use? Looks good for sure, stock are soooo tiny.

Lol, The front discs have holes in them too through, it's not that bad in person...

I used Thuppu made brackets

Got the kids out to a show, nice! Rubi looks good as ever. Can't wait to see the videos when I get a chance.

Of course I brought them out on daddy weekend, sponsored by EFI to boot...

Thanks on the compliment, I need to really get crackin on the interior part of the car...

Car looks sick Ob! Don't be so taciturn! NUMBERRRRRRRS

Kids look great in those EFIexpress shirts. I need a box. I'd wear them every day lol

Good to see you using it!

Just posting some rear suspension stuff I've come across lately...

So this is the washer I chose to weld on ... it's the stock OEM part that goes on top of strut mount. You just need to weld that underneath the mount as a mean to provide a solid place to mount the stud kit.

Awesome, thanks. What part number QA1 did you use?

My local summit racing has one of these qa1 shocks on the clearance shelf for like $75...

If there was two of them, I'd definitely grab them.
