Sonicrat's was a turbo'd s4, not s5. Turbo's dont have VDI because they don't need "fake boost." And if you turbo'd your car I would just ditch the VDI.

If you can actually remove it, remove it, I'd think it'd be a restriction if it's always closed, but I dont know much about the VDI since I have an s4.

Wire it open. It'll flow better this way. I've got a s5 turbo on a s4 engine. A bit of a mix

So now you're going turbo instead of the supercharger? Why the sudden change? What are you going to do with the charger? I'm working on designing myself a manifold to mount the m90's in a bit more 'proper' fashion.

lol. I'll say this, it's about 4x easier to do. I'd go with a s4 turbo though, it's easier to mount and doesn't require you to kick the **** out of your frame like I had to. I'll talk more with you later over AIM about it, off to watch a movie now.

I'm so ready to do my turbo project, I just wish I had the money 
Also, how come you had to beat the **** out of your frame? I thought aaroncake was able to fit his s5 turbo in without any frame modification.

I got a 91 N/A turbo.
first I was not concerned about emissions so I removed ALL of it, including the VDI. I actually removed the cylinder out of it. The conection out of the ECU (2M) wich is for the VDI on N/A now is used for the knock sensor.
