Nice car man .... You got that for 2.7k in canada? :scratch: I got mine for $5k and it was same year and condition. Except my mileage was 124k km's.

I think the hose you're referring to is for the air pump, not the A/C. For people who do a custom airbox and plan to keep the air pump, I've seen some people either rig up a special small filter for the air pump or try to run the air pump intake hose through whatever air filter system they end up settling on. Incidentally, do a search on "Cold Air Box" because just "throwing a filter on" without building a sealed enclosure will probably hurt performance more than it will help it and will be worse than just buying a new filter element for the stock airbox.

Check in the FAQ threads near the top of this section. There are links for downloading the Factory Shop Manual (FSM) which will be a great help to you in figuring stuff out. I also think the Haynes manual is helpful for quick reference. There is also some useful information in the actual Owner's Manual itself; you can probably find one on eBay if you really want it for not too much money. They seem to come up often.

I had a set of Accel plug wires a few years back on my NA and they were decent quality, but not really any cheaper than the OEM NGK style and not quite as well made. After a year or two, the metal clip inside one of the spark plug jackets broke off on my set and I've never had that experience with the NGKs.

Your car looks great and it sounds like an excellent price. Congratulations!

Man, thats a steal, 2.7 for a TII? I got my 86' GXL for 3.5k with more kms on it.

That was a good deal bro and it looks hella clean inside and out

yea i was planning on making a shroud for it .. but just wasnt sure if i could just leave it vented..but ill work something out today thanks .. im about to go buy vac lines and coolant and the adapter for the intake, and a bit more stuff.. i need to fix my idle
but thanks for the complements the car is in immaculate shape im glad i held out a bit ..

welcome to the fc crowd...turbo II's are where it's at. time to clean that nasty ass engine bay though.

Holy crapola an intact battery box! Don't recall if I've ever seen any that still have them :)

^^ lol i have one too with the sticker on the box too

And no ABS! You sir are ahead of the game

...If only it had no sunroof you'd really be set.

it does have a sunroof lol

Awesome car. The interior is so clean and even has the stock radio! I think the best part of it is that the stock S4 front lip is still there. Congrats with the buy! I wish my arctic silver TII looked that good...

well now the lip is gone lol .. i have a jetta lip on now..and it looks good i think..
ill post a pic soon...
but thanks for all the complements..
defanitly love the car... i did all my tune up now..and i think im going to do exhaust ..
but wheels are on the way too.. just dont no what size and stuff yet
cause apparently ill get a decent amount of boost creep when i do exhaust..

picked up rb exhaust...3inch down pipe and muffler and cat are all rb suposidly.. puttin it on this week but ill take off my turbo and port the waste gate.. i just hope ill be ok and not get alot of creep... and i hope my afr will be fine ?

ewww on the wheels.....is that lip off a vw?

too bad you started modding it. you dont see too many stock TII's on the road any more. the car will be worth far more in the long run unmodified. nice car though. what kind of shape was the stock exhaust in?

Although I personally agree with this advice, to each his own. That said, it would be smart to save all the useable original parts you take off in case you ever do need to sell the car. It will make it worth more to the next buyer.
