Default Good call, I can't wait to see the numbers this beast puts down!

Have you figured out who you're going to have tune it yet?

Default well, I believe in going in small steps and changing one thing at a time

it makes troubleshooting easier. So I plan to first use an oversize s/c pulley (or underdrive crank pulley) to keep the s/c boost around 15 psi. That should be low enough so I can still use my existing piggy-back fuel maps and it should work with my existing injectors, albeit at 5bar instead of current 4bar and it should be within the operating range of the S3 MAF. Once that's working I'll be upgrading the injectors, the MAF and probably moving to stand-alone and eventually turning up the boost to 20+ psi.

Default Got it DONE!

FWIW the glasspack did WONDERS. The sound is perfect. The droning is pretty much gone. I can hear my intake finally ...

They put it right before the axle back for ground clearance and it seems to be working there perfectly.

Default Glad to hear it.....

I had a purple horney on my Corrado, as the only muffler, and it was pretty loud..
