What prevents the unit from falling out except tension?

The pin that holds the spider gears and the stub axle ends. Both will keep it in place from 2 axis's.

Notice in the previous pics the PG has 2 holes in it.

Electrician, my ass. Wizard is much more appropriate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Awesome stuff, even if I got lost once you got into that diff stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Got the axles installed. These are Empi with 3" splines, no inner clip. Designed for the CV to slide in/out with travel. I cleaned and repacked the CV's and tie wired up the new 914rubber bolts. I had to re-do the exhaust again. I found the run from the turbo to the muffler interferes with the axle. I borrowed a 4"- 22° pipe from work and fixed it.

I finally powered up the car. VagCom found no communication to the ECU. When I troubleshooted, I found the main relay not powering up the ECU. Looks like some more investigation in store tomorrow... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

looking good Mike! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Liking the gauges, glad I pulled the gauge cluster from my suby donor, might have to use it.

You're truly an inspiration for all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

It started today! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I had to shut it down due to a fuel leak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The earlier wiring problem was a missing ground on the main relay. Easy fix.

The fuel leak was a bitch, in a bad location. I had to take the rear trunk panel off to get to it. Meth system and ECU had to come out. I'm guessing it will be driveable in about 2 weeks.

I still have to bleed the clutch, mount reservoir, swap out fuel pumps, tie up wiring, install seats and carpet, add coolant. Oh, reinstall the meth system and ECU... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I'm sure there are some other minor things to do as well.

Sounds great!

Wish I could say I am two weeks out... This car is going to be awesome! Probably the best all around transplant that I've seen. Good MPG (when you want it), tremendous power when you take weight into consideration and fairly cheap parts... Can't wait to see it going! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Ok it runs! Drive by wire throttle works. All fuel leaks sealed. I blew an injector seal on the rail. I discovered my fuel pressure regulator don't work. Well it does work if I want the fuel pressure at 120psi but that is it. No matter how far I turn out the adjustment screw it stays at 120psi. The good news is the fuel system is holding at 120 but the ECU wants 60psi. Raw gas was coming out the exhaust... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) But it does rev up with the pedal and it starts right away!

My regulator is an Aeromotive and is supposed to be 85psi max. I double checked the instructions too. I even tried blowing air through it. My 125psi compressor could barely get air to come out. If I blow air the wrong way through it just chatters.

Here is a quick video...

I picked up one of these LSD units. Supposed to be a cheap alternative to the $2700 LSD for the Boxster.

The testimonials look great. We will see how it works very soon.

Stay tuned!


I contacted them about doing one for our 901's. They strung me along for a couple months and never did end up doing one as far as I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

It runs. 90% of the wires are tied up. Clutch is bled. New rear springs are in. All fluids in. Seats back in.

Time to drive this bitch! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

There are some minor things to finish but I plan on going on a test drive in the morning. If I get real lucky, I will drive it to the Parts Heaven swap meet. One year ago I had the car there with a turbo rotary. Looks like I made me deadline of WCR 13. Too bad I can't go... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

No video yet. But here are some pics of it off jack stands! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

So there was a glitch. The Audi water pump is not up to the task of circulating water up to the front. System was running hot in the back and cool in the front. I even heard the turbo line boiling. Lucky for me I had a Miziere pump in the garage. I mounted up front and what a difference! It runs very good. Idles perfectly. No fuel stink. Basically like an Audi with a 4" exhaust. The turbo spools very fast and at low rpm. Like 1st gear taking off from a stop sign. I have to go east and shift to second to keep it out of boost. The final drive gearing is a little low. It drives like a close ratio box. 5th gear on the freeway is a blast. Turbo kicks in and "off it goes"...

I still need to fab a mounting bracket for the pump and do a few misc things but I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. I also need to relocate the accelerator pedal. I need to clock the pedal 90° and lift the electronics to a more comfortable position.

I bought some 220lb springs from Warren to put in the rear. Wow! what a difference. The progressives I had were way to soft for the Bilstein front setup.
