I'm planning on gutting my trunk as well once I have another car to put the sub box into, so that will lighten the rear end considerably compared to the front, so if I can shift some of that weight back to the rear, thats good. Probably won't be anytime soon, that's why there's no rush. But to have a DIY to reference when the time comes will be very helpful.

You're gonna wrap that turbine and up pipe, right?

Some more progress shots for everyone. Finished up pipe, downpipe, intercooler mount.

Exhaust pieces are arriving next week so keep an eye out for those!

To update Cody's update here are some more things. Something shifted when I was welding (as stuff happens). So I spent all day Friday redoing stuff. I ended up only need to bump something about 1/2 and inch but this is life.

Also the battery stuff is really easy. The hardest part is the mounting. I made a bracket but IDK if I'm totally happy with it, might make something else.

Hopefully my machinist gets the MAF bungs knocked out for us real quick so we can get the intercooler piping done.

Slow and steady...Right?

It should do quite well. Phunk, a forum vendor, has 22k miles on TT E85 setup @ 520whp with the same pump and injectors as I have. He is actually the one who recommended this setup to me. I wont know right away since Ecutek doesn't have map switching yet, I will be doing a 93oct tune first.

Sub'd. Lookin good!

MyKindaGuise · 06-13-2013, 10:31 AM

Minor update. Placed a decent sized order at RT Tuning AGAIN for more parts.lol

1x Vibrant Performance Race Muffler
1x Vibrant Performance 12"x4" resonator
1x Vibrant Performance manual boost controller
1x Vibrant Performance 1.875" SS piping
1x Vibrant Performance 1.75" SS piping

Hopefully we will have the intercooler piping tig welded this weekend and maybe have the maf flanges cnc'd.

Kinda big update I guess.

Most of the exhaust is done. Very pleased with it for now. We will be changing it when I get my amuse bumper. Not going to say what it will look like but it will have a very distinct super car look. Also got the battery hooked up and we put it into accessory and didn't have any leaks or issues. Also plugged a lot of ports from out hose deletions. Mostly coolant lines and stuff.

Looks like a center exit exhaust?
