Been thinking about my car all day.
Last night I relocated my MAF sensor right before the throttle body (blow-through style) with a FrankenTurbo 3" MAF housing. Also came up with a custom cold-side intercooler pipe setup. Along with that I installed Delphi 440cc injectors and turned my AFPR down to 2.3 bar (~33.5psi). This enabled me to install a HUGE AEM 6" DryFlow cone air filter with a BPI 3" Flow stack.
Still working out the kinks and adjusting fuel pressure to ensure proper fuel at WOT (using a wideband gauge/controller). The car is now overboosting past 25psi despite having a BoostValve MBC in parallel with the N75 that previously limited boost to ~19psi. Maybe I'll have to ditch the N75 altogether if I can't get the parallel setup to eliminate the boost spikes
EDIT: Got the boost down to a manageable 20psi without spikes

insurance claim finalized.
if i keep the car theyre writing me a check for $5378.83
if i dont keep the car ill be getting $6209.72
i think i owe about 5200 on it so either option looks fine by me. im gonna keep it for now and wait till i find the b7 i want(or the A6 possibly?) but if i hold out long enough ill be keeping i as a second car. they're also gonna continue to insure it if i keep it AND because of state law, its not gonna be a salvaged title because its a comprehensive claim on a vehicle 5+ years old!
so all in all, this is working out very well for me.
mind you they "totaled" it. and yet no salvaged title. that's awesome imo
sux i have to do my on CAs tho... lol

Separated the headlight lens from the housing. I made adapter plates that enabled me to use the existing projector mounting points. The most difficult part of the whole process was ensuring the beam was straight/level! Did you happen to take any pics of the fitment inside the headlight housing?
