this is what TT fat fives look like on a mk4

those are not TT fat fives

more parts coming in tomorrow, and had another 700 mile tank the other day.

the Wurth paint is worth every penny

the one that @burpod custom made for me!

hey I got an FE boost from my @burpod tune I'm just sayin

I PROMISE pics by Tuesday. this is what they looked like on my Jetta

tires are trash. a set of cheap chinese centercaps as well as a few misc OEM caps without the emblems. norcal pickup only. make me an offer. I want this out of my garage. since the moderators are so strict, it's $100 for the set plus one hour of your time at a bar over a beer so we can chat.

howdy neighbor! I live right up the road in Folsom. What's their rate at Drakes for a proper TDI oil change?

how do you guys feel about this TB kit? It's expensive, but comprehensive. https://www.idparts.com/timing-belt-kit-oem-alh-p-3611.html

yeah they're 260s, should net a nice performance and economy boost

thanks @burpod

exactly. the EGR is already disabled, I am just looking to clean up a lil airflow while I'm in there replacing the intake with a clean one. I'd run a race pipe if I could but I wouldn't pass the visual.

copper has a very high melting point - I am not worried about it at all. it's used often for exhaust gaskets.

basically I want to fab up a copper gasket that will also serve as a blockoff plate. reproduce the gasket with thicker material, but don't cut out the large hole. is my logic not sound?

so @burpod and others, what do you recommend? whatever I do has to be invisible to California emissions inspection. I was considering 24ga copper, sounds like I need more?

that's pretty thick - what was the end result?

yep same basic principle - copper is great for exhaust gaskets and easy to work with so no matter what that's probably the 'piece of sheet metal' I'll use

I'll most likely fab up a "gasket" out of something like this to act as a block off plate https://www.amazon.com/Copper-Thickness-Scratches-Attached-Plates/dp/B09ZVGKNK5

@J_dude - thanks for that link. This is exactly what I want to do. I'm going the simple route, remove the flap, and install a thin blockoff plate vs the gasket where the exhaust comes in.
