getting swap done this week!
With no air flow, the IC will heat soak very quickly. When you hit 2nd gear - pingety pop!
For a temporary fix, run the waste gate hose directly to the manifold (bypassing the boost controller)
That will push open the waste gate at ~5PSI.

Definately do not push the car with that intercooler covered up. Just like everyone is saying, too much heat and you're going to ping.
Only if it's an S5 right? I would think moving an S4's wastegate boost source from the exit of the turbo to the intake manifold would actually make boost increase.

I'm getting my swap done this weekend too. I have a TII Hood on already, sorry I can't help. But I hope you get your car runnin fine. I wouldnt suggest rollin with no hood tho. And the stock hood wont fit.

Don't bother getting a TII hood......
I'd rig up the TII IC in a front mount position until you can get the funds together to put a proper FMIC in.

Either way, it's bad news to run a TMIC without a scoop!

Did I read if the waste gate is ported?
