I'm using all oem parts as far as the motor goes, for tunning I'm gonna be using MegasquirtII v3. I was using the AFC with my old twinturbo setup.

Thanks guys

Dynoed the car last weekend at TAG Racecraft.

330whp

325wtq

Still room for a lot more power with some more tunning and taking care of some issues with the motor.

Why not run a wideband A/F guage? Those narrow band A/F guages are a light show..My buddy installed the AEM A/F guage in his 1.8BT Jetta and it works f'n mint..Looks great and is really f'n accurate..

I'm running a Innovate Motorsports digital wideband guage. and as far as accuracy goes, AEM is s*%# compared to these.
