sick build man. Once I sell my Audi TT and pick up my FRS, a turbo kit is one of the first projects. I just have to get over the fact the FRS will be the first car i have with a warranty and i plan on tearing it all apart.

I built my turbo set up and built my 2.0l stroker for my a4 as well as did all the fab work. this looks like a pretty nice challenge for me. I can really appreciate all the work you put into it.

Everything looks well sorted, but I think you may have overlooked your oil feed line. Those AN fittings for the feed are probably gonna leak. I had many issues with one i built and i gave up and went to a hydraulic shop where they fabbed me a new line for about $50 where all the connections were crimped and two swivel fittings on the end.

Ok I have to ask, where did you learn to do all this? It is a goal of mine to be able to understand and execute this type of build. Any advice for those of us looking would be awesome! Great build by the way, very jealous.

Wow its been a while! I just got back from our honeymoon and it was great! I need to get back on the project this week! I just need a damn maf flange in stainless. I found some flanges but in aluminum and that is no good to me. As soon and this is done i can start her up! I plan on driving the car within a month and half so the project should move soon. Snow is just starting to melt!

Maybe I could go for you, if you don't find anybody else. Grab your maf bring it to him, get estimation and he calls you back, then get it when the job is done i'm alway's around this customer of mine.

well you don't need an exact copy of your maf but in stainless steel? if yes then he only needs your maf to take mesurement and replacate it in stainless.
