Best place to find parts is in the classified sections.

I plan to post the progress as it happens in case anyone wants to see how it happens.

I don't think so, i don't have a dyno run as of now and I don't really have plans as of now either.

I'm more concerned about what to do for an intercooler. I really don't want to go front mount but I think it's going to be a challenge to keep the TMIC. I am thinking of some type of V-mount or modified top mount setup with alcohol injection.

Add me to the s4 lim to FD uim adapter list. I have a s4 n/a and this adapter will be part of a much larger experiment. Is there a price set on the adapter yet?

great news for both s5 and s4 guys.there is a new design,like feed adapter for sale:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=

and i gave him an s4 lim today so he will design a s4 adapter and will start makes them next week.but he told me (BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT SO MANY PEOPLE INTERESTED) that this adapter will be pre-order and he will make only as many adapters as he will sell. and will ship them all together at the end of the month.or right away when he reach the goal,whitch is 5 adapters.so start saving...

I must have missed when you said you were going to make them for the s4 and their price?

What's the difference between the old ones and the new "FEED style" pieces??

I'm actually still waiting for my adapter to arrive from Greece....

the feed ones are rounded instead of what looks like sharp ends, im assuming the new ones will flow with curves of the intake manifold just like the feed ones do.
pic of the feed one.


the ebay one

That's cool man, I don't need it to look all bling though, I'm fine with the old ones as long as they work. I ordered mine on the 18th of February and he said it should be here by the end of this week - I'm gonna check the PO Box tomorrow morning.
