Hi Ruben. A couple of Copper O rings will save ya throwing spanners round ya shop. Ya want a copper O ring stack of say 3 to 4 mm.

[rubenski]

Yeah, just sucks that i read this the day after i glued the T on the tank with locktite....

Gotta get the threads all cleaned again...

Will have to search for copper washers too because i don't have any laying arround

Any updates for the new year Thorkhild?
Have you been able to adapt your single IDF to the TPS and throttle cable?

[Thorkhild]

For ease until I figure out how to redo intake using the single, I'm going to do this. (Using cheap tubing for visualization only)

[Thorkhild]

Changed my mind again! I gave up on the idea of having it fit under the decklid.



Using a VW diverter valve for my BOV.


I modified my up pipe to accept the wastgate. Its original location was below the merged section right in front of the pully.

A couple of quick updates:

Diverter = Blowoff valve. needs a small aircleaner, Silicon hose from turbo to throttle body.



Routing the exhaust down and out through the muffler.


Added some vacuum ports for the diverter and the variable Pressure regulator


No decklid means i can build a bracket to hold my oil breather,

[Thorkhild]

UPDATE! The engine is in!

[rubenski]

Great !

[Chip Birks]

Looks good. Did you end up going with a Mexican VW throttle body? What happened to the idea style?

[Thorkhild]

I ended up using the "mexi" TB. It made the most sense. My intake was already setup for it from my 1776 build. It only need a couple more pressure ports for the blow off valve and pressure regulator. I do have another TB that i can swap to with a minor modifications.


Now I need more seat time and live VE tuning!
