That is a sick Mk1 jetta. What suspension setup are you running?
Yeah, an intercooler would be nice. You could potentially work with what you've got if you reclocked the compressor housing, but it's hard to say, really. You would probably benefit from a gasser intake manifold. And of course, relocating the air filter further forward, away from all that exhaust manifold heat.
I don't know much about methanol injection, but I can't imagine that for our diesels that it's that much removed from what gasser guys are using?
It all depends on what you're willing/able to do. Piping kits and/or fabrication will make a world of difference for you. Please post pics of your final setup.

ordered some piping so i can redo the intake. went out and looked at my options, thinking routing to the raintray will be the easiest and best solution to get away from the heat... hey i have a scoop for a reason right
as for the awic stuff, it sounds like i great idea. just need to play around to see if i can get piping routed right.

FWIW I think you could add the CIS intake and then run the inlet to the turbo to the area behind the grill. In between the battery and rad if possible, that way you wouldn't have to cut your rain tray up.
Looking at your intake I don't like its design much more than the factory TD one...which could be another option.

if its a rayjay like mine.. to reclock is cake.. 1 v band style clamp..
and 8v manifold should fit..
turn turbo towards firewall and mani of choise..
bet that is a nice kick in arss if it hits as hard as 7 psi did.. but does it hit as hard? had lots of lag.. 3k till it hit.. id almost bet on my toaster it would break the tires free like a 930... at 3000rpm..

i had the standard bae rayjay on and it hit pretty hard, but with this it hits just as hard but earlier
comparison of both of the turbos i have, im running the arkay right now as the bigger one lagged too much..

New intake setup, and yeah a cut a hole in the raintray, i figure the intake and hood scoop are now functional.
and got the boost gauge installed finally:)
not bad peak boost for dialed back fuel screw and BAE kit

Did you couple it at the raintray?? or is it a pipe that moves with the engine?

It moves with the engine but I've given it enough room to wiggle and not make noise. I also added a seal around where the cuts were made.

I'd replace that breather with a CDR valve and draft tube before it makes a mess.

I actually just came back in the house from the garage. That's exactly what I was messing around with.
I just need to find a way to tap back into the intake stream now.

90 off of the VC, and thread a nipple fitting in that intake tube. Is it thick enough to get a thread or two of grab?

If you can't get a thread to grab on your pcv bung you install in the intake pipe, just use a thin bolt behind it and seal around the threads with sealant.
I'm also another proponent of AWIC. Mount it over your trans where you have room. Go with a core that does both pipes on one side, run the 8v gasser mani, and you can run minimal charge piping. Your turbo orientation is actually oriented near-perfect for this setup. What's your exhaust piping diameter?
P.S.: Love your wheels; ATS classics are my dream wheel set. I don't do staggered, however; like to rotate the tires so I'd run spacers in back.
