hey man your car looks sweet! When i first saw this (bumper cut out and added lip) i decided that i would like to do it also because i love the looks of the stock front bumper and the cutting out makes it look better! Could you post some close ups of the cut out? What tool did you use? Dremel? How do you make it nice and smooth etc etc...

Looks good. I would prefer to see a better shroud on your fan, though. John

You don't really need one with an e-fan since it is right on top of the radiator. At least that has been my experience.

Lets examine the facts:

1. An e-Fan strapped directly to the rad with NO shroud will only draw air directly through ~60% of the available core surface area.

2. A e-fan with a properly designed shroug will pull air thru 100% of the available surface area.

HMMMMM. What would you rather use. Not to mention its a hell of a lot safer.

Do you have pictures of your turbo lines. Also were did you hide you Fuel pressure regulator.

Ian Skacel

P.S
I'm getting a E6K and have the same turbo as you. Do you want to give me your maps. LMAO Shameless plug.


Seriously I'm going to use the WB DIY version 2 for tuning. Just have to install everything and I want to model it after your engine bay

Jaw Dropped, am now drooling!

Beatiful, beatiful, must say it's the nicest front end with a stock bumper ever! Can't wait for pics of it with moldings the same color. Ever think of getting S5 aero mirrors, that would make the car perfect IMO...


Awesome work!

IAN, in order to do that you have to get rid of your A/C and P/S...

I know you're too wimpy for that

Very clean, function first but it still looks pretty good, I would put a little screen over the opening just to make it look more oem or possibly a lip going inside would do the same effect. Also you engine bay is top notch perfect, it shows time is always worth more than money.

Can someone show me where to find this video of the car doing 11.8? I was never aware of a video of this sexy beast.

It seems everything you do to your car I absolutely love it more. What colour are your going to paint this beut?

The front looks nice, A LOT.... of AIR.

I wonder if it would improve the overall performance in the 1/4.

Keep on rocking 1FastT2. *DROOL*

Looks awesome!! For some reason, I like how the side mouldings mix it up a little bit. If the side mouldings were painted black and were nice and shiny like the red, I bet it would look sooo nice... I love that lip, and since there are no more replica's being sold, I guess I'll have to buy the real one sooner or later... lol
