Quick update...It's been a busy week for the two of us due to work and school so progess isn't amazing or anything but...

-Up pipe is fully welded and test fitted to trubo mount.
-Oil pan and turbo is tapped
-Oil feed line was made and test fitted
-Driver side interior reinstalled
-Battery relocation cables were ran under interior
-Silicone coupler's arrived along with thermostatic plate and fittings for Oil Cooler
-Intake manifold put into AutoCAD for potential design
-Intake manifold reinstalled

Im sure I am missing something but its coming along nicely.

Cody, when you get a chance one day, would you be up for writing a review of the steps behind a battery relocation? I'm looking into doing this myself, and am curious about the parts and cable routing so I'd be interested in your write up, or if you felt so moved a DIY.

Looking great so far

You're gonna wrap that turbine and up pipe, right?

Yeah I can do a DIY or just help you. I ran the wire on Friday. Literally took a few minutes. The whole thing cant take more than 1-1.5hours depending on amount of beers/motivation. Keep in mind I am running the stock battery so its a little large but...I Like the added weight and I like the look of my gutted hatch.

I'm planning on gutting my trunk as well once I have another car to put the sub box into, so that will lighten the rear end considerably compared to the front, so if I can shift some of that weight back to the rear, thats good. Probably won't be anytime soon, that's why there's no rush. But to have a DIY to reference when the time comes will be very helpful.

Some more progress shots for everyone. Finished up pipe, downpipe, intercooler mount.

Exhaust pieces are arriving next week so keep an eye out for those!

To update Cody's update here are some more things. Something shifted when I was welding (as stuff happens). So I spent all day Friday redoing stuff. I ended up only need to bump something about 1/2 and inch but this is life.

Also the battery stuff is really easy. The hardest part is the mounting. I made a bracket but IDK if I'm totally happy with it, might make something else.

Hopefully my machinist gets the MAF bungs knocked out for us real quick so we can get the intercooler piping done.

Slow and steady...Right?

It should do quite well. Phunk, a forum vendor, has 22k miles on TT E85 setup @ 520whp with the same pump and injectors as I have. He is actually the one who recommended this setup to me. I wont know right away since Ecutek doesn't have map switching yet, I will be doing a 93oct tune first.
