Thanks, here are a couple close pics of the engine. I know its not as detailes those that wire them up, I might add a couple wires, but Ill leave the alt/plugs alone.

Here is a mock up of a possible air setup for more direct "air flow" to the ITB's. Its not final but a concept. Please let me know if it seems visually "OK".

Cheif xB · 02-23-2007, 12:49 AM

I didnt like the first version...so I made a new one. Once it drys Ill try to clean it up.

Cheif xB · 02-23-2007, 01:55 AM

After a bit of test fitting...here is where I stand for the night. Im not trying to make it look clean, but more of a budget/homemade look. Id like to hear opinions on the intake tube please.

And I did a side exit exhaust...

Cheif xB · 02-23-2007, 08:45 PM

I know its not nearly as clean as most cars on here but Id really like some feedback..please.

Can you give me some backstory behind the VWVortex build-off? I have a 1:1 Golf, and a Mk II kit of my own underway that I might like to build, depending on the rules.

Well it was just a bunch of VW owners ( some might just be modelers) on VWVortex that wanted to build the same bodystyle over the last couple months for fun...no real prize...just a fun time sharing different ideas/approaches to the same kit. There is another member on here on the buildoff (GTIDUDE). Its really got me back into building after 10 years..man Im WAAAY behind on skill....

dude that mk2 of yours is coming on nicely. do you think you going to finish in time?

gtidude · 02-26-2007, 03:37 AM

and will you be entering the next build off?

quadzero · 02-26-2007, 04:13 AM

Althou I don't know much about the induction system on this, I really like the way you re-did it. What did you use for the ducting? It almost looks like coiled wire, nice touch all the same.
