Turbo BS Thread

IAT from Bosch, calibration file provided by Haltech as VW 1.8


Tight, likely give those brake lines more room. You can see the MAF plug in upper left corner, reloomed the harness and directed to new location. I made a pnp harness to attach.

My custom fuel rail with Aeromotive regulator, Radium Damper, 650cc injectors and Aeromotive pump


CSF FJ radiator and shroud with Evans Waterless and 180 thermostat.
HPS silicone throughout, to include coolant and vacuum hoses


PTP blanket and matching downpipe wrap


4” intake from stock sidewall hole, reservoir shaped as if it was born for it


Radium AOS-R nestled in the corner. The Hemi 80mm doesn’t utilize coolant, so I diverted those lines to this

I don't usually use this emoji but

It looks amazing man. You can see all the work put into it.

 

Almost looks oem! Loving the rubbah slippah garage action.

 

WOW! That is fucking clean!

 

Thanks
Haha yeah I’ll bust a toe one day, did my 4x4 conversion in them too

 

Too bad the 1gr intake inlet isn’t on the opposite side. When’s eta on first startup?

 

Yesterday lol

 

I went with the Aeromotive fuel pump upgrade to complement the 650cc injectors. If it hadn’t been 10 PM and the end of a second 16 hr workday I would have documented that- dropping that tank is ruff.
I didn’t clamp the pump to the shell like URD’s kit does.
The OEM pump is within another plastic shell, and a filter element within it. There is just enough space to wedge the aftermarket pump between it and the outer shell, with the aftermarket bottom filter positioned correctly. So, I removed the OEM pump from it’s filter housing, cut that inner housing off 1” down from top (to keep attaching part), cleaned the filter material out, dropped the Aeromotive pump with filter in, squeezed the recycled inner housing back in place and the new pump was solid in place. Replaced the hose and wired her in- boom done.

 

@HomerTaco
It’ll look like this until I get the new grill in

 

How many Flinstones power are we looking at here?

 

@05Taco4x4 , there are two ways to do that project. The haste way, and the right way. You executed it the right way, exquisitely.

 

Those AC lines are running very close to the down pipe and turbo. I wrapped mine with a heat shroud similar to this:

$34 Design Engineering 010457 Heat Shroud 1/2" - 3/4" I.D. x 3ft Aluminized Sleeving for Ultimate Hi-Temp Protection (with Hook and Loop Closure)

Thanks for the heads up, I’ve got similar on the way and still need to wrap the harness above too. I’m considering sleeving the vacuum lines going across it too.

 

Yeah, I wrapped the down pipe on mine to. Another member had their ac lines melt and blow.

 

Thanks for the reminder, I knew I was forgetting to order something else...

 

Yaaassssssss!

Looks excellent brotha

 

Very impressive work @05Taco4x4

How much boost are you planning on running?

 

My first attempt at heat wrapping lol. I'm sure one day I may change it but for now it should work. This stuff sure loves to fray.

 

Looks good. It'll fray until you spray it with the black silicone spray paint stuff. Then it sets up hard and doesn't fray anymore.

 

The only acceptable answer is "All of it."
