Lol... easy there avg, he didn't bi-turbo his 1.8T here. But bryan, looks sick man. VERY clean.

Just keep in mind though, anyone with the AWE pod is gonna wreck you on the strip soooo much lighter
ha ha - yes I guess they will... all that extra R&D that AWE put into their pod you see...

thanks guys. I try to do things myself. I hate the thought of paying outrageous amounts of money to get something I can build myself.

Exactly!! You also get much more satisfaction than just throwing down money. Great work, looks very nice!

i agree with you fellas,

i ordered the $260.00 vent gauge from AWE......... i am glad i was backordered so it gave me time to think about how insane that price is!

so i went to hop-up racing and ordered one of their Defi boost gauges( a very nice gauge btw)
for $104.00 shipped and put it in the center vent myself.







it worked out good, i got to spend some quality time with my car and a couple bud selects[sm=icon_cheers.gif]


i'll post some pics tonite after work.

Looks much better than the rag you had stuffed in there when I saw it! Nice job.
