Project Fast: A Love Story

So more ordering of expensive parts. Decided to go with the Polar FIS for on the fly diagnostics, and also ordered the torqbyte CM-5 LT. Does anyone have experience setting up and using the CM-5?

So, I call my mechanic to get the measurements on the intake tubing to order a mass air flow straighter and guess what? It already has one installed, this is a really nice kit.

Yaaaaaaaassss!! The turbo kit looks nice, way nicer than the stage 3 kit I got lol. I'm over here dying watching you guys move forward with the turbo and engine builds.

It’s an amazing kit, wanna see it running on the TFSI [emoji7]
When do you expect completing your build and having the car together?

Oh that dreaded question? My mechanic has several cars clogging his garage (flip cars and randoms) and hopes to clear them out at the end of February, and then we can get to work. I'm about a week away from pulling the trigger on ordering some new seats (damn cost adds up with all the parts) and plan to get those done the same time. So all in all, it'll probably be done in about 3 years.

Oh, I love my dog. He completed destroyed my cable connection for my Polar FIS, so I just ordered a replacement...$80 later...

Boy do I hear you... same for me, lot of obstacles to completion for me too. Even when you do get traction and work gets going, still a lot of possible points of delay. I took my car down end of July.
