At this point Nick you should just drop a 2.7T or 4.2 in there and be done! (We all know it wouldn't end there though.)

 

I'd love the raw power of a 4.2.

Yes please.

 

Do it!

 

No my car is still running in poop mode. now 1,2,4 cylinders are misfiring but they are random so the engine light isn't blinking and i can only feel it thru 3-4 rpm when I get boost. A 4.2 I think would clear that itch

 

Would that even fit in a b5?

 

Yes sir! the A8 and S8 engines will infact fit! Im sure someone on here can direct chocolate to one of the threads on here about it....

 

Dropped the car off at my mechanic today to have a 12 piece Meyle control arm kit installed. (Don't have the time to do it myself with my current work schedule.)

Found an AWE tuning boost gauge on eBay for $120, waiting for that to arrive so I can figure out what else I need to purchase to hook it up.

Couldn't help myself and ordered an Osir Orbit V3 Noir shift **** with red LED.

Found these pictures from a VW forum, mine will have the red lighting though.

 

that looks pretty sweet will look sweet when dark to cause it matches every other light in the car

 

Yep! Can't wait for it to get here.

 

I scored! I've been searching craigslist for used parts and scored on some new wheels. Picked up 4 16" 5 spoke OEM wheels with tires for $250. 3 of the tires probably have 70% tread left and the left rear has 20-25%.

And now!
