The unequal length headers make is rumble like a V8. Note the VW coolant bottle where the battery was. That is our intercooler reservoir that self purges the air and holds a decent amount of G12 coolant.





Nice man, very nice.

I'll have to get a finger pic posted for you guys. We took the weekend to sleep and came back to a nuthouse at the shop today. I should close my shop up for a week every few months. I have more German car work than we can handle waiting for us.
If the weather clears up, I plan to start putting some "break in" miles on Charlie's car. I have the rev limiter set kind of low for now to prevent killing the new cam. I'll bump it back up after a few hundred miles.
I will post up the details as to what phase II of this build will be. Mostly suspension and brake mods. I plan to try and get Alltrbo's alternator bracket fabricated before then.

I've been trying to post up the initial video of the drivetrain removal, but can't seem to edit it small enough. Any ideas? Or is anyone willing to work with it if I mail it to them on a flash drive?

I highly suggest against having any type of rev limiter on the car. Rev limits cut fuel, and re-enable it very quickly on a revlimiter, and even more so with a modded motor. This causes lean conditions and I know from experience what happens after that. Set the rev limiter to 7200 in every car you tune and dont ever change it.

There is nothing that you can do to a hydrolic roller cam that can harm it from the first day it is installed to 200k miles, they come hardened and "broken in" from the factory.
