Ha ha you got da mod bug.

Having a dickens of a time sourcing a stock heat exchanger. Plan B is the ZZP S3, funny story on that option too. When I first installed the ZZP Stg 2 Turbo kit I decided it was good form to fab up the S3 at work in the service bay cause we were bored as ****. Well we get that and the intercooler installed on the car and I headed home for the night. Like a ******* I totally didn't think about how steep the driveway angle was at home. Had I taken more care pulling in I would have saved myself a ton of money and two weeks. The ZZP S3 got bent to **** and then poked a hole in the radiator. After that shitty event I decided to run the custom air-to-air setup I made. I did like the look and fit of the S3 and I'm thinking it'll be a nice touch again, that and my home ain't got no steep driveway dis time 'round.

Handcrafting a dual pod guage bezel now. Brought one back when we turbo'd and it was the shittiest piece of hand made trash ever. That damn thang cost me $75 back then this one is running in at $20 give or take.

I reused the IM gasket from my kit and it didn't seal right so I had to buy a new one. Not sure if he'd be better off buying a new one
