Things are soooooo close. The car is almost back together, just some odds and ends. If all goes to plan, my dad should be driving it on a low boost tune in 2-3 weeks (and I if the old bastard lets me drive it :p).

Not really, just more delays. Figured out we need a heat exchanger for the intercooler, so that has to be done. The rear wheel bearings were bad, and the dust shields bent, so that had to be done. The car just got aligned, and is currently sitting on staggered DSII's.

It is running Fully Sequential Fueling & Timing, so it should run fairly well when all said and done.

BTW, we went with a staggered setup on our car and it has retuned to it's neutral, pre-turbo & M20 handling. 235/45 on 17x7.5 and 255/40 on 17x9's. Put 200 track miles on at PIR over 3 days with no problems at all.

I kind of like the badge. It's a bit comical.

Really cool project, much respect to you, your father, the always incredible J.Volk and EPL labs. A "well sorted" car! :thumbsup:

Its a water to air intercooler.It will probably be in the engine bay.

Yup. The tank in the trunk is getting plumbed to the W/A Intercooler with a massive bilge pump. 1" Fittings for the inlet and outlet.

Thanks again for the compliments guys. I will post pictures once everything is back together.

I second that "I hate you" comment. Not because I'm a hater, but because you got on a forum with whole lot of broke-ass enthusiasts and made their jaws drop. This is an awesome project, but I would rather read it in a Roundell, Eurotuner, or some other magazine or tuner web-site. ///M-azing what money can buy. Hope to see your mean machine in person some time.

Kudos to your dada-man for going this kind of project.
