Went into the Passat Wagon 2.7T conversion yesteraday...

Here's a pic. of my ride and the now well known Passat 2.7T conversion. (I went in the car yesterday but this picture was taken a week ago)
I must say that a FWD 2.7T (5 speed) feels way different, especially under rain. 1st gear is longer but only 5 speed... No traction at all if you go WOT! The car is only "Stage 1" with an Upsolute Chip (similar to Giac). Car boosting at 15-16 PSI, with very low MAF readings (210-220g/s). No snorkel for cold air and no holes near the wheel for intercooler cooling yet (or Darintake mod).

How did someone fit a 2.7T normally mounted longitudinally in a fwd passat
where the engine has to be mounted horizontally? Given the extreme compactness of our S4 engine bay, I'm amazed someone got it to fit. I bet getting all the plumbing to work was a serious pain and took some major talent.
I'm impressed that someone got it to work but why not do it in a 'cooler' car like a Shelby cobra kit car or a TT (but this has been done already)? Anyway, from an engineering point of view, my hat is off to the people that did this.

S4 Avant...I saw one
I saw one the other day near Molson Stadium where the Alouettes plays. Believe or not, I saw a girl loading up the S4 Avant.
Not too sure if it's a Montreal or out of town plate.
