Installation took around 2.5 hours including pictures.

First impression - Very smooth and more responsive. Also after a 30 minute test trive, the car is cooler around the TIP.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/RoberTT/tt_mods/forge_dv_relocation/">All pics and instructions here...</a></li></ul>

Default Well done Lad!

Why do we do this, except for access? Is there an environmental issue w/ the current location?

Default It's all about heat. The relo kit moves the DV to the cold side...>>

past the IC instead of the charge 'hot' side. So you get the best of both worlds. Cooler faster DV and cooler air to the trubo intake.
