Thank You.
I was wanting to vomit after reading you were going to sell. Thinking about all the time I have in mine and it is crap compared to yours and mine isnt even done. I would have definately wanted it if I didn't have my project going. Great job on the car.

some updated info on the car...
1) the car was leaking from the front flange on the head...I have the alum flanges witch is a nice bonus..but they have some pitting.
the engine on this car is in great shape..it only has 3,500 miles on it....yes it still has some bugs and things I would like to change...but I'm just not wanting to put the money into it anymore.
2)front brakes on the car are fine plenty of life left..I installed new swaybar bushings and TT control arm bushings aswell.
I do feel that it could use new shocks..but did not want to buy just shocks so I was saving up for a set of coilovers.
3)yes the round head lights do have high beam bulbs...but the switch is not working correctly..I took it apart when doing the build and now the switch does not "click" like it did before.
4)yes it still has the wicked BB turbo...lighting it off really is gonna depend on your altitude...it's a bit slow up to 8psi...then it rockets from 8-25psi in the blink of an eye...with only 2-5psi boost drop between shifts!!!
5)the int switches that dont work are the high beam..and I disconnected the power sunroof power....the PO had it wired a bit odd and I was gonna go back and redo it when I got some time but just have not bothered with it.
the PO also has a 6 dic changer(really old) and had some rca set up's and weird speaker wiring...I have only hooked up the front door speakers to the car radio for now.
ALL the OEM gauges work...then it has my isspro aftermarket gauges like pyro, boost, manifold back pressure, oil psi and a water temp gauge.
the one I had trouble with is the oil psi..I had the sender mounted right on the head and the vibrations that the diesel put out caused it to start acting weird..I of course flipped out thinking I might have some other issues..but once I put my test mechanical gauge on I noticed it was just the isspro's electric sender going crazy I moved the sender with a small hose over to the firewall it reads now..but reads way high..it will need a new sender...PLEASE NOTE! the factory oil psi switches and warning STILL work and I have verified good healthy psi at the head and oil filter flange.
6) couple other things that need addressing is the rear 3" exhaust pipe over the axle..it rattles a bit on take off..I think the best fix would be a the NON hydro VW rear mount it drives fine with the hydro mount but does feel a bit too soft for my likings.
the speedo cable grommet has been leaking a bit but I will have that fixed in the next few day as my part is at the dealer waiting for me.
this is a great car with everything I built... built really well....but I'm not gonna lie it still needs some of these little bugs worked out to make it 100% clean
oh yeah other thing was the intercooler piping is rattling sometimes from where it goes into the bumper and to the IC...not a big deal just one of those things that needs to be tweaked a bit more and clearanced.
I have also removed the AC condenser I think it was blocking to much airflow.
thanks for looking let me know any other questions you got
