Dirt for everyone!!!

11-21-2011

Home now and with any build comes issues....

Went Wrong

ECS sent the wrong Fog lights ...
42DD didn't send any gaskets or mounting hardware with the DP...
My H&R coils are really for an MKv R32...

What went RIGHT...

S3 FMIC went in like champ!
Coils work great so far, need to get an alinement tomorrow...
TT 2"5 exhaust installed easy and sounds awesome
Catch can install was pretty easy, but my home made boost tap had to be replaced and I went with an APR boost tap.

What wents So SO..

The 42DD 3" downpipe was PITA. I went with this downpipe for one main reason b.c the TT exhaust I bought from RoundTuit (awesome dude btw) was already modified for a 3" downpipe.

Well the downpipe is made for the GTI and it was tight fit to install it and there is some play in the CAT pipe to the TT exhaust. And Plus they didn't ship any mounting or gaskets so I'm sure that had to do with some of the play.

I'm beat but I will get some pics up tomorrow..
