dunno what kind of power. seen blokes with similar setups running upwards of 320rwkw, running haltech platinum sport 1000 with Bosch ID1000's. this tune is on standard fuel pumps, 2.5" cat back and boost running straight off the ecu. when it's done 1,000-1,500 ks I'll have a retune with twin 044s (undercar surge) and a haltech boost solenoid and full 3" xzorst. just hope the rest of the drivetrain doesn't bust all at once lol $$$$ lol

sits not bad. I'm not a huge fan of showing it off so I'm gonna get the backing a of the lights ground out a bit and slide the cooler higher.

Plates look sweet! I swear if the cooler wes slightly higher, that would be a mint grandpa spec sleeper. Still nothing wrong with just a mint VL though hahaha

Don't bother painting the clamps... The second highway patrol see a VL they will pull you over anyway. Then tell you to pop the bonnet regardless.
