• PD150 intake on it's way! will be building one of these in the future for sure!!!
• #18 by zagarus on 30 Jan, 2010 18:35
• Had the intake cleaned up nicely so it was time for a picture. Thanks ryanp!!!
  
  
  
  
  will post more pictures in the coming month once I have the coupe moved to its new location (somewhere with a concrete floor!!!!!)

• So will that PD150 intake clear the T3 / KKK24 turbo?  'cuz that seems like a super good way to go if so...
• #20 by ryanp on 01 Feb, 2010 03:43
• yeah they will clear just as well as the stock TD intakes. much better for flow, these only prove to be a restriction on the TDi's over 250whp, should be fine for most then!!!!
  this is the rear:
  
  
  
  glad to know you are happy, the race pipes are nice aren't they!

• Mini update, have most of the parts needed to make this car live on the way,  managed to get the alternator and pulley setup on and torqued down.  Also got a new starter, still have one of the wiring harnesses to make nice and neat.   Intake bolts on no problem, however a stock T3 will come in contact and not sit flush on the exhaust manifold.  I will look into a spacer for in between the head and manifold.  Anyway here are a few pictures of how it sits right now.

• No the car that was in the accident was my old 4dr jetta, it was a complete writeoff. This is a coupe I picked up 3 weeks later  . Just been awhile to get going on it as i was waiting for an engine donor.

• Looking good!  I can't wait to see video of the beast running.

• The vortex proved useful in finding somewhere that makes manifold spacers.
