I was going to use my intank Wally to a "swirl pot" feeding the A1000, but the more I read on the A1000 in high boost applications the more worried I get. I have a feeling the large size of its internal components makes it have to work very hard at the higher rail pressures- it would probably do much better w/ the recommended voltage controller.

There are red 600lb/hr, red 800lb/hr and silver 1,000lb/hr models, but they appear to have very similar construction.

Bosch 044 seems to be the best for high rail pressures.

-edit- Hey, you wrote the unibody was from a base, but I see it has a sunroof hole. Was it a SE?

Looks great!

The elbow is stock off the 13B-RE. We are still working on designs for the hoods, but some other good news for people...

I'm about to release our new hoods for the N/A's Just as soon as I get back from SEMA.

Too bad most of the SEMA attendees are just going to walk right by it.

Is this thing going to be sitting in the Haltech booth?

I, too, am a practioner of that religion.

You have substantiated what I plan to do with my FC. I'm glad there are still tuners out there that support such an old and revered car. Great job on your FC thus far. For the record, I will be repainting my car Audi Silver and I am in no way copying your use of German paint

BTW, who made the dash for you and how much did it cost--I am interested in sourcing one once I complete the engine and suspension build-up. The interior will be somewhat similar to yours--8pt cage, 2 race seats, fuel cell, etc.

255/40R17 front
295/40R17 rear

The rear has been totally cut out, and the AWR fenders were riveted and glassed into the stock portion.

Later today I will take lots of more detailed shot. She is REALLY coming together now

That's totally untrue. You can easily fit 255s in the rear with stock fenders. Some have even gone with 275s with stock fenders I believe as well.

That is simply bad ***. I am thinking about doing a headlight conversion and that is exactly what I am looking for. Sickness.
