I still maintain that the aluminum will be a bad idea. Looks nice though! Should have it anodized black, so it turns gold once it gets really hot.

Eh, if it doesnt work out i'll make one in stainless. I already had the 4" AL muffler and im right at $400 for welding and materials for an entirely custom catback. I dont plan on road racing it so it shouldn't see too much time at elevated temps. Only thing i'd really be worried about is antilag/2 step but im not going to be using that unless i'm at the strip

It fits TT spindles, GTI doesnt plus tighter ratio (14.6 vs 15.6)

Thought the TT rack was 16.9? I know some guys have milled down the rack though

The date on that document suggests that it is for the new mk3 TT based on MQB architecture(EUrope got the mk3 TT in 2014) and not the PQ35 architecture that the mk2 TT/MK5/MK6 chassis is based on which again makes me question if the mk2 TT rack is faster than a GTI rack. The improved roll center should be nice though. Are you getting new axles seeing as the track width is now wider?

Could be the MK3, that was the only technical spec doc i could find. Doubt the steering would change between MK2/3 though.
Will be eventually be picking up TT axles, using MKVs to get it moving for now

Sensor wiring run through the pass through. Have gauge sensors (EGT, fuel pressure, oil pressure) and all oxygen sensor wiring (primary, secondary, AEM) running through it. Had to make new extension harnesses for the primary and secondary oxygen sensors to be able to run inside the car. Will probably shield the wiring even though having the wastegate dump wrapped should be enough protection. Made a small aluminum bracket for the rear sensor plugs. Steering rack wiring is in the corrugated loom

Damn man, project is coming along!! Looking great brother! One of these days when the grey car gets swapped over to dedicated track duty as well, I want to pull the white one completely apart and just clean up/make everything shiny new again.
