So the sunroof had some rust/ holes.. Wasn't very nice... Now that being said the repair/bondo job I did with black gloss paint doesn't look to swell either , so I'm going to cover it in sticker!

Took some time to jimmy the motor and tranny in... but we did it... then found out i had no tranny mount bolts -_- doh.. so found one bolt that would fit for now snugged it up and off to the hardware store for some bolts!,now its time to slowly wire it all back up, install the fuel rails, finish up with me AEM FIC 6 install, and then next project is to finish up the exhaust, must hunt down a exhaust shop that doesnt cost a arm and a leg.. other then that, its slowly coming together, im thinking i should upgrade my secondarys once i get it running smooth, so i can add alittle bit more fuel, after 6-8 psi, i will see how it reacts, this hybrid turbo is good to push 14ish psi, but im unsure how much my 6port HC (highcompressoin) 13b will do. so its time to slowly take my time and get it all right!

Patience is what brings it together, dill. Looking good. Hopefully you won't find any annoying wiring gremlins like I have.

Dig the color scheme of the keg and manifolds. Was goin bronze also til I could find the exact dark bronze that I wanted . So red it was . Hopefully I'll be finally running next week or so . Can't wait to see you 6pt running .as far as boost I hit 8-10 so far on the old setup with no problems . I'm hoping to run 10-12 for a lil bit and go from there . I know it will pop one day , just wanna atleast drive It for a lil bit before I crank it up lol

Thanks man! Yea I hear yea, blah, working under the car when it's only so high sucks.. My roomates using the stands so I get to crawl under to finish the tranny mount bolts -_- super gay. On a other note tomorrow I get to take the drive shaft off and then on again.. Haha didn't have time to attach it to the tranny when putting the motor in

Starting to plug around ... Anyone know how to make a s4 t2 intercooler fit on a s5 UIM?


Relocated, window switch and mirrors in the center console.. Also have hks boost controller ready for set up, couple more parts to get.. T2 compression tube pressure sensor, rad hoses, omp delete, turbo feed/oil plate, bov unless I cap and not run one and that's about it I do believe!
