Not yet.... hopefully next week we'll be able to get it done... I wanna get it installed and broken in before New England Dyno Day 8.....

After that, new OEM cam & lifters, an oil change, fuel filter, and I need to replace my fuel return lines....
I installed my new DC Stage III+ clutch over Labor Day Week. See here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=223085&page=8

I wanted to get the clutch in well ahead of the NE Dyno Day to break it in.

Joe - Your FMIC and piping look great. What brand of FMIC did you use? Was it hard to install? Did you do the piping work yourself? Can't wait to see it in person in Oct.

Any thoughts about bumping up to RC6? You would have to get a new license plate.:D

Ebay kit, cxracing, 99jettatdi installed, 3" piping, pretty sweet right...I've got the same one, with 2 1/4" piping, installed myself in about 3 hours my first mod did it all for under $200 shipped.

Ok, I have my car up in Braintree Mass at MR Chill's shop.... Integrated Engineering rifled connecting rods, ceramic coated pistons, ported head, R520 nozzles, and RC6 is all happening to my car right now.... I will be picking it up on Dec 5th and immediately bringing it to NEDD8!!

And the "RC6 TDI" lisence plates are in the mail....LoL. Then I'll be all done with the car.... for the winter anyway!

Your are insane man! Sounds awesome. I can't wait to see this thing run at NEDD.

What time would this train be pulling out of the Port station? I was planing on going solo, but might be interested in joining a Jett-avan.

Thanks for mentioning me Vic. I'm looking forward to driving with you guys. As Vic mentioned I can wait at the I84 exit 13 Fishkill. The Hess is sort of at the EZ off EZ on location on right hand side when you come of the ramp. I'm pretty flexible with the start time. thanks! ~ed

Ok, take it easy on me guys, I'm not taking the 2.sl0w!

LOL.... NOT taking the 2.sl0w... I'll be driving Jason's stock 2004 Jetta TDI PD to get chipped at Dyno day as he will be in his 99.5 ALH beast.... I'll be picking my car up at chills shop and going straight to dyno day with it.

Yes it's a Diesel said:
You thinking about putting a more aggressive cam in your car at some point? I'm still not sure what gains are made with them, but at your stage in modding it couldn't hurt could it? :cool:
There may just be some upgraded cams being tested in my car very soon.... or even as we speak:eek:

Your car is gonna rock with all that mojo ........ Can't wait to see the dyno! As soon as my head gets here, I will be following in your footsteps. When are you gonna dyno her?

stupid things.. the stock upper intercooler pipe won't fit the 2.5" PD150 racepipe, ........
I was able to fit mine but she was way tight ......... Notice the stretch

EDIT- Just measured to be sure and my racepipe is only 2.25" OD and not 2.5" OD. I stand corrected. it would be pretty hard to stretch it further than this.
