For the people who've got their side-exits: how did you re-route the brake cable? Did you run it over or under the exhaust, and does it really matter? Oh, and I figure having the cable in contact with a hot pipe is a bad thing, just thought I'd check to make sure...

So, I've got Evry mod installed, and I absolutely love it. Now that winter's here, I've noticed that it does essentially nothing until the engine is fairly warm, and it only has full effect after about 5-10 minutes of driving...it seems (from my very, very limited knowledge ;) ) that this is...

Just took the muffler off a couple days ago...totally worth it. A buddy of mine who drives a Civic thought the turbo noise was something stuck in my exhaust....heh.

@gforce: No, only when putting in the clutch. @vwmikel: No mods before, but I put my evry switch back in now that the overrun issue is taken care of. @jjordan: Thanks a bunch, that appears to have been the issue. Turns out the clutch pedal, being plastic, had a small indentation worn in...

nvm found it...thanks a bunch man. :)

ahh gotcha. this is buried up under the dash i take it?

I've noticed that whenever I shift at high engine load/high rpms, the engine revs itself a bit after i let off the throttle and put in the clutch (sometimes just barely, but other times i have to wait over half a second for the rpms to drop enough that i don't have to slam the car into the next...

Well, I knew it was too good to be true. And I'm planning on putting <$4000 into this...guess I'll shoot for 150hp. Thanks for the advice, folks.

I have an '03 Jetta with 176K miles on it that I'm planning on upgrading within the next few months (got a big chunk of money coming in :D ). Here's what I'm currently planning on getting/doing: DC Stage III+ clutch kit PP520 or PP764 nozzles, not sure which Alligator Tune .658 5th gear kit...

Ahhhhh....excellent. Thanks a bunch! This means my exhaust is getting opened up this weekend...awesome.:D

Thanks Zip....sounds like a real party around here :cool: And seriously, let's get this thing set up. Talking about cars + relaxing with cold beverages + lightweights (I may be guilty of getting some...friends hammered in teh past :D ) = EPIC stories and fun. Heck, at this rate I'll have my...

Holy sweet mother of Jeebus... If only I was something other than a broke college student...:( Thanks though

Can someone explain to me the nitty-gritty of how backpressure affects low-end torque? I can't for the life of me figure it out, and it's really aggravating:mad: Thanks

FUB--What are the sensors you're using to take the pressure measurements? Where'd you get them/how much were they?

Here's my experience after Evrying my 03 Jetta: I'm going to go through these tires a lot faster than I hoped. :( My fuel mileage is going to drop significantly. :( Time to make my boost/egt gauges... :) In other words...VERY satisfying, considering it cost me $15US. :D Although, I'm...

Not quite a 'fuel station' story, but... I was at Radio Shack getting the components I needed to Evrymod my 03 Jetta, and the guy at the counter (an old scraggly dude who actually knew electronics! Imagine that at a RS!!) asked me what I needed them for, so I explained. We got to talking about...

I'm in. Want to open up my exhaust and soak up every bit of info I can from people who know these engines. Plus get to know other people to soot ricers and hybrids with... :)

2 questions: a) Has anyone gutted the muffler and run a straight pipe clear through? I have a nasty habit of running into CHP, and I'd rather keep my car looking as legal as possible...except for the speed of course :D b) Other than finding a way to squeeze it in, can anyone think of any...
