Finally boosted my mk3 8v x-flow
running stuff:
eip stage 2 turbo chip
440cc injectors
garrett t3 turbo internal gate
audi 5cyl manifold cut the 5th runner off and welded on a t3 flange
vr6 3" maf
hollow catylist( hollowed itself actually)
ebay bov
a4 smic turned tmic
i still have a bunch of stuff to install but its too ------- cold. i know i'll have issues with the maf and the ebay bov, i have a "greddy type" rs bov on the way to recirc. i also have to change the oil feed from the current high pressure fuel hose to a braided line.
this is my first hmt car and my first time welding project.

Re: Finally boosted my mk3 8v x-flow
the last time i drove it i had the stock injectors, psi set to 4 psi, 2.5maf and the chip. thing fricken hauled ***. with the injectors, 3" vr6 maf and the chip i can go up to 11 psi, when i install the headspacer i can set it to 19 psi.
i can get you some pics of the manifold the next time i drive it.
i am cutting a hole for the hood and throwing on a scoop this weekend, then im painting the hood flat black.
dude, this was the absolute slowest car ive owned. i HATED this car when i bought it 2 years ago, now i love it.
i bought the eip chip used for $50, im going to be running 10 psi until i install the headspacer then i will be boosting 19 psi on stock rods and pistons.
yeah, im glad i have the crossflow head, vw knows how to make a potentially good engine really slow.
stuff i have left to install that has been piling up in my basement:
window regulators (all 4 of course)
install catch can
finish the exhaust
install the clutch
coil overs
recirc the bov with the ebay greddy rs
install new motor mounts
get a ss oil feel
replace the ghetto oil drain with my new drain
install new bumper cover and grille
new textured door moldings
i plan to have this bitch on the road april 15th at the latest.
