Soon to be TT Nismo

Thread Update:

The car has been boosted for about a year now, so I thought I would make an update here. I have enjoyed it quite a bit and have been making little tweaks here and there. There are still the occasional odd noises and vibrations, but overall the car seems to be doing very well.

I had installed my Fast Intentions 3" TDX last Summer and love it. The Mil-Spec Cats get rid of the gas odor and the sound is awesome. VERY happy with this setup.

I replaced my PLX Devices gauge setup with 3 Depo Racing gauges in the triple meter for Boost, Oil Pressure, and Oil Temp. I did the install the long way, by taking out the entire dash. It was a huge pain, but it turned out nicely. I also fabricated a fabric dash piece to hold an Innovate MDX-L wideband and my HKS EVC-S boost controller in the cubby. I am very happy with the setup thus far. I will try to post some pics here soon.

Over the past two weekends I tackled a DIY Clutch/Flywheel/CSC replacement. Thanks to Joe@zspeed, I put in a new Southbend DXD Black Flywheel, Stage III 6-Puck Clutch, and HD CSC. According to Joe, this setup should be good to about ~700TQ! I wish I had taken some pictures to put up, but I was too enthralled with the install. Man was it a pain on jack stands! All I can say is thank God for air tools! The clutch feels great, albeit stiffer, and I can't wait to experience it more once it is broken in.

That's all for now! Questions/comments are welcome!
