hey guys finally got some numbers for her. i also have a couple mods in the works, which im keeping quiet about, but should have pics by the end of the week. but for the time being, heres my dyno graph. best run of 167hp@about 5500rpm and 181 lb-ft@about 3400rpm. that dip you see at 4000 is when my variable intake timing kicks in.

couple more pics from yesterday. in the first pic, the black GTI in the front has a bora/jetta front end, and the silver R32 front end you see is on a jetta/bora body.
second one is my car next to a yellow 20th anniversary edition.
