Complete stock to stock TII conversion into my S4 Vert. She was fired her up today after so so long to get to this point.

Next stop, after the tweaking is all done, the State Ref to get my sticker.

Nice, did you use the Stock Vert ECU? Is it a 338 or what?

All drive trane and electricals

including ECU were from TII donations. With one exception, I wanted it to function like it has always been equiped with a TII set up as much as possible.

The only thing we didn't do was change out the main harness under the dash. Avoided the big hassle and I was convinced by my partner in crime for the project it was a better alternative as it keeped the stock voltmeter in favor of the stock boost gauge. So, the only PITA seemed to be having to add to the ECU/Injector loom a couple extra wires. Otherwise, aside to often finding I needed to source "one more part" than I had already collected in preparing for the project, it was pretty much bolt in plug and play. There are a lot of subtle parts needed to make this a full ASpec stock set up than you might think.


Went with digital Nordskog Boost and EGT gauges in an A-Pillar pod. Their read outs were darn close to the same color as the stock gauges giving a fair stock possible like look.
