The only choices are Morimoto, stock, or modified stock. The Morimotos seem to have a decently high failure rate, but they have a good warranty (if purchased new).

I went with modified stock and am adding G5BRT projectors from Lightwerkz. I'm back in Germany again, so spending a month without headlights (shipping back/forth) in the event of a warranty claim isn't something I'm willing to deal with.

Yeah, slim pickings out there.

Ordered the Morimoto kit. Headlights, taillights, and side markers. Time for the janky ones to go.

I have been pretty happy with my morimoto headlight and tail lights. Gives it a nice, clean, modern look to them. I haven't had any issues with them but the warranty is for 5 years.

I will get to install in a few weeks. I have been very busy. I still need to remove my thermostat and install a restrictor. Then test it. The older I get, the less time I have to do the things I want to do.

Spooler · 03-21-2025, 10:57 PM

Boy this look familiar. LOL

Spooler · 03-23-2025, 11:35 PM

Installed my thermostat housing with a restrictor and then installed my Morimoto tail lights and side marker lights. I still have the headlights to install. Getting there.

The rear taillight quality is good. I was surprised they didn't fit like chit. Fingers crossed on the headlights. I need to get it in my garage to use my 1/4in air rachet on all those 10mm bolts.

Headlights are in. Pictures of my intercooler are posted on Instagram.

I have been working on tuning my boost by gear/rpm. I stopped because it got cold. Time to get back at it. I can throw 17psi of boost at it on the streets with R888r tires in 2nd gear. That is 768whp. I need to fine tune it some more, then 3rd gear work will begin. I am just not that motivated these days. Life has me busy.

Poking around looking at T56 swap. PPG offers a sequential gearset for them from what I remember. If I ever get serious the trans is gonna scatter. It is a miracle it made it this long.

Spooler · 04-08-2025, 11:44 PM

Crazy arse PPG sequential gearset for a T56 is 18k. I just wanted to see how much it would cost.

Spooler · 04-09-2025, 11:18 PM

I am waiting for the new 2wd PPG Sequential to be released. Air shifted for the win. I can upshift and downshift with the Emtron via the paddles with no clutch. Only have to use the clutch to get going.

Spooler · 04-10-2025, 11:28 AM

If you haven't figured it out, this what I want to do with my transmission. I have an Emtron standalone I want to use every bit of.

Spooler · 04-15-2025, 11:06 PM

Welp, the Sequential cost is just crazy. It is more than what folks had in their twin turbo builds from year ago. The DCT swap is less than 1/2 that. I have time to ponder what I am going to do. DCT has been done, is available, and my Emtron can run it with no problem. That may be the way I go. I will sit right her at 900whp until I figure it out. Any power above this and the trans will be unreliable. At 800tq they are a ticket time bomb. They scatter really quick.
