hidden turbo?

i agree. with the thousands of law enforcement and most of them being male, im more than sure that a ton of them know about cars and probably are enthusiast of some type.

Yeah but a cop who is an auto enthusiast i could see not giving a ticket to a turbod bmw that is done right but more so being like wow thats sickk. But what do i know.. i got pulled over in my GTi for going 140+ and they asked if i had n0s...

Try modifying a 524td intake and exhaust manifolds. Can't get anymore OEM then that. One of these days i'll get around to taking pics of my finished build.

I saw your tread too..But i didn't see the 524td intake.. maybe I didn't look hard enough..lol...
I'm also using a 524td exhaust and would love to mimic your afm mod..
I've ditched my A/C and running a large volvo intrecooler in it's place to
up side down. This way I can route the tubing from the intercool up under the air box and through it much like yours.. If you have a pic of that intake manifold alone could you post it? How diffrent is it from the "E" or "I" intake?

in california, you'd be surprised how smart most highway patrol officers are, some of them go through training to know what is a "factory" set-up looks like and one that isn't.

just do a really clean install, then call it factory. run it through an airbox. most cops aren't going to know what was under the hood of a 20yr old bmw, let alone if it was turbocharged or not.

quick google search lol. a cop would never know

The civic was a good sleeper. I have my boost pipe and BOV hidden through the airbox too but it took a lot more work then he had to do. Also my welds are a lot crappier looking too. Lol.

I don't know if I'd call an S1 a sleeper, unless there was another model that shared that engine bay setup.

Defiantly not an S1, it could be any number of engines powered but I would guess the black one is a S2. The other one could be any number of late 80's quattro cars.

Good thread. The Audi is a true sleeper.
