New style locking DP bolts: 

lonely DP wondering where everyone went!?   

New lump with a shine and a happy K16!! 


Home again: 


This is a true sleeper! RWD V8 and the only indication is the larger tailpipe sprinting away from you

Lol, I was actually looking for this post on Tapatalk this morning (not an easy task). I took the car in for the first post engine swap oil change Wednesday and readjusted the wastegate to crack at 8psi yesterday morning. The TCV is still learning the new crack pressure but the car is running the best it has since the turbo swap. Power is everywhere and linear as it should be! It holds strong to 20psi without overboosting. 


Some other things I addressed were, replacement of both front struts due to a pothole casualty suffered this winter and an alignment. So now I have B8's in the front heico (Bilstein) in the rear and Elevate springs. 


Now that everything appears to be sorted, I want to turn my attention back to aesthetics. I've had a few ideas floating for awhile now and it's time to make them reality. 


I still owe a video to you all as well! I think a may get to that today 



Sent from right over there.


I picked up the Elevate external oil cooler kit from Don and decided to use the RS heat exchanger and keep the Setrab unit for a tranny cooler. It will mount right in front of the radiator and keep the gearbox fluid happy at the track!




Here is a short video for you all. 




That run is only partial throttle and the tcv has not completely adjusted yet. The K16 makes our cars a beast. It is hard to get a good run showing how truly quick the car is and stay legal! lol The good videos will just have to wait for the track.

Awesome build man, shame it had to go really. Have done a similar route and used your thread for info to help with mine.
