NICE, i went back and read the part where you decided not to return the oil back to the filler cap. where did you end up returning it to?


Thanx in advance

Yes it’s being returned to the filler cap. Works perfect.

Really no complaints on the oiling system other than the loud pump.

Good to hear...interested in their longevity especially since your running them through their paces.

Made it to the dyno finally. Ran at several boost pressures... 6, 8, 11, and 13-14 psi.

What gear did you make the pulls in ?

What gear did you make the pulls in ?

5th gear ...

5th gear ...

I thought 7th gear is 1 to 1. Any reason to use 5 th ? Also what mufflers or catback are you running?

7th is known to slip on high HP cars. It would also overspin the dyno with the 3.15 gears this car has.

Mufflers are Magnaflow knock offs from Amazon.. you'll have to go back in the thread and look but i thought i posted info about them.

I fabbed the entire exhaust system myself out of 3" mandrel bent stainless piping.

Found it. Any chance you have any more info on them. Wouldn't mind ordering some I'm still on the stock mufflers think there could be some power left on the table with a better flowing muffler.

There is A LOT of power left on the table with stock mufflers and turbos. Mandatory that you have straight through mufflers with turbos on these cars.

Here are the mufflers. I also ended up running some resonators.. im a pansy and dont like loud vehicles. Posted info on those too.

I am also about to build my own TT system with these headers.. If you don’t mind me asking what fittings did you use to get oil from the motor?

I had to use 2 Vibrant metric adapters. They are stacked (one is basically used as a spacer).

Below is the link

0 leaks of any kind thus far after ~1500 miles...

Very nice thank you!! So male end goes in the block, the female end is for the sensor and the two 1/8 npt ports are for the turbos?

That’s exactly right
