So i've been meaning to get to the dragstrip for quite some time. Yesterday was the last day of the season at my local track. I rushed over there after work and got there 30mins before close. I got off 3 runs, each one better than the previous. I really wish i had more time since i was just...
A little backstory.
I finally got my motor together and my 99 Mk4 Golf running again this fall. It was down for just short of two years after I cracked my #2 piston in half. I had my fair share of obstacles and hold ups. It took some time to gather all the right parts and put it back...

Things working against me...
My pulley came off on me the other day and took quite a beating. Was wondering if i could replace it with one off a 1.8T/2.0? They're a little lighter but what interests me more is they are more readily available and therefore cheaper. Both pulleys have the same overall diameter, serp belt...
The car's been off the road for a while and it's good to be back. Just thought i'd throw up some pics an info and see what everyone thinks. The set-up and layout was my vision, and was beautifully carried out by Ron Weaver at NGP.
And BIG thanks to Jeff @ RC for making it all work together...
My turbo is finally showing it's age after 7 years of abuse. I know turbo's are a hot commodity around here, but if anyone has a turbo that their not going to use, or have an extra to sell please let me know. I'm more than willing to pay the going price for a used or new VNT-17 or idealy a...
I just installed a CAT 2 fuel filter and have mass amounts of bubbles in my fuel line. Yes the filter, banjo fittings, ect are tight. I even got a KERMA widget and things are nooo better. Please help :o
I dynoed my car yesterday, NGP didn't have a way to read RPMs. Nate who was running the dyno said that some of the crafty fellows on here had a contraption to resolve this. So i was curious about this rig, and wanted to hear what exactly what is done to read RPMs.
Also i was wondering if...
The local track opened yesterday so i gave my oil burner a workout.:rolleyes:

Not bad eh?
I have seen the infamous OMI on many TDIs and wondered how people like it. Also i was wondering how it compares to a stock PD130 inlet, and see how people like the PD130 pipe. Input on this topic will be greatly appreciated.
I've been researching a CCV mod for a while. I can't seem to find any pics of one i think i could easily do. Please post pics of your set-ups (esspecialy provent installs), it'll help me greatly.:cool:
