i think you have it backwards. I don't like the headlights, but everything else looks good. I would drop my eg in a heartbeat if i could fine an unmolested tsi for cheap. Its just too easy to make them fun. And if your gentle enough, you wont have tranny issues. Looks good though, love the manifold.

Some more update pics. The turbo/mani/wastegate is starting to go in. Slowly but surely she'll get together.

Also picked up a new hood to replace the old dented one.

Check my sig. I live in Minnesota (Twin Cities). Thanks for the comments thus far! Also just picked up a new Daily Driver today as well that I'm pretty pumped about. 2006 Saab 9-3

I got a hell of a deal on it, but typically the one I got is a bit spendy, around $1400. They aren't cheap turbos that's for sure. Also for the most part, BW turbos are oil cooled, non-ball bearing center cartridges. That's something that I liked, because I did not want to run coolant lines.

If you're looking for a cheap alternative to a GT35R, what about picking up a non ball bearing PTE SC61? Those can be had for what, like $800 brand new or so?
