I think I seen this for sale on eBay? Do you still got it?

[dsmraver]

I actually bought it from E-bay, and yes, I still have the car, she's really loving the E-85! More videos to come...

UPDATE: The extremely rough idle in this video was tracked down to the previous owner installing a 2g intake manifold gasket on a 1g head/intake combo. This created a massive vacuum leak, once I changed it, the car starts/idles very smooth now. I'll be posting more follow-up video when the weather's a bit more conducive to filming. (Michigan = 18* today!)

why on earth would you put 1150cc injectors and an hx40 on a stock 6 bolt? Your gonna blow that thing into last year if your not careful with that turbo. Also your gonna run rich as hell. You dont need 1000cc plus injectors and a turbo that is usualy ran on 400+ horsepower cars unless you have a stage 2 6 bolt at least. That things not gonna last a week. and im not trying to be an ass when i say that.

I have 1600cc injectors in the car now since I run E85, and to inform you, the stock 6-bolt has been proven to handle 500whp+ time and time again. She's been running just fine on 25-30psi for the last 2 months, so thanks for the concern, but it's unwarranted. Tuning is handled by myself, using DSMlink in conjunction with my AEM WB02.

nice vid, keep it posted

with a hx40 set up well over 1000's are needed for e85, I have a 92 tsi awd with a hx40 pro and i have 1000cc's with meth and just 93 pump gas.. At 27psi the injectors are already at 80%duty cycle. I am thinking about switching to e85 and you need more like 1600cc with e85.

Master7770 you're a fucking idiot. My buddy's hx40 mirage has pushed well over 400whp on a bone stock 6bolt. 1000+ cc injectors are required for E85. And why would he run rich as well when it clearly states he's on LINK

Running oil squirters is only needed with cast pistons such as the stock ones. If you run forged you dont need em and all they will do is rob you of oil pressure at higher RPM which isnt a good thing.
