I will be there next week also and hopefully be driving my new addition by augusts meet.
The custom driveshaft was delivered yesterday so all I need left is a few small items. Engine is running perfect right now and after finding cracks in my LIM, installing new o-rings on the injectors.
Exhaust is a little to quit but sounds great. Running collected RB headers to a full RB rev TII exhaust system. I had to cut of the old 3in flange on the presilencer and welded a new 2 1/2in flange at a different angle and distance to let the system all bolt up.
After working on my last turbo 7 were the previous owner shortcutted just about everything I am making to do this one right, this project should be more reliable than my current v8 setup and almost as quick.
The engine is a S5 rebuilt by me with a medium-large street port. Running all s5 electronics including ecu with a rtek2.1 chip (regret not just going with a standalone for the amount of time and money involved with this setup). Both VDI and auxillary ports are functional with Pineapple Racing sleeve inserts. Decided stock intake with K&n filter is superior to all the aftermarket hot air intakes. Exhaust as mentioned before is a custom complete system by Racing Beat.
Not a mod but did a manual swap using a gem of a TII tranny.
Next on the list is suspension components and a GTU's Differential. I am just stoked that this project is nearing a point were I can drive it after almost a year.
Thank you Jesse for the clean low mileage Fc and Transmission.
Thank you Robert for all the advice and engine components.
Will keep you guys updated with pictures.

Het do you think you could do me a favor and measure the hole in your hatch (where the wiper used to be)? I'm going to start looking for plugs and I need to know the size. If I finds some I'll get a few and give them away.
