Running Again after recent mods, video included.

Finally got it all back together and ready to go. It seems pretty good so far, smooth idle.

Some of the details.

Major changes included the new FD UIM and throttle body and the VMIC setup. There was a lot that went into it and just kinda kept changing as I went along. I knew I had to do something about a bigger intercooler soon but didn't want to go FMIC for numerous reasons. I got sidetracked with the FD UIM swap, added an oil catch can, redid all the vac lines, etc... but it came out okay for winging it.

My new vented hood should be here any day, just waiting for shipping company to call me.

Some pics of the parts and process:

Engine torn down again


FD UIM mated to S5 LIM



Custom Block off plates


Had to chop and reweld oil tube-


Mocking Up The Rad, E Fan and Intercooler

New Intercooler Piping, Rad setup
