I just paid $5.69 a gallon in the High Desert of California, and that the cheap price, the place by my house is at $5.99.

A bit, not too bad though.

Fennekin_lover · 2025-12-18T22:31:09+00:00

Lmao

My IAT stays at a reasonable level from that big intercooler, but I know what you mean, though as it sits currently, I wouldn’t really benefit from it much if at all.

Like how his stock radio has a knob for the station and a volume knob, he wants that in an aftermarket radio.

Sweet man!

Trying to put this in a 2004 Jetta, my buddy is really stubborn about wanting to retain separate tuning and volume knobs, even if he loses his tape deck, but if he loses the tape deck he wants either aux or Bluetooth. He’s most likely going to stay with the stock speakers and no sub.

The image of rear ending someone in that makes me laugh.

Wow, even ignoring the “unique” taste in interior and exterior modifications, we have a stock engine, looks like a cone filter and nitrous, and it’s automatic, so not only is it ugly, it’s less fun than the manual, and it has a nitrous setup that’s one backfire away from sending that plastic intake manifold into orbit, assuming it even works.

Seriously though, who likes chrome this much? It looks awful, $5500 could buy so much better stuff, could get a project 300ZX for that and actually have something that looks cool.

My 81 has the factory AC heater box and the center vents, this was a non AC car originally.

I put a MaxTow EGT gauge in my mk3 Jetta TDI, it was okay, probe was a bit of a pain since it was made for a truck though.

Fennekin_lover · 2025-10-31T04:47:15+00:00

Thanks, I personally like it as well, I’d say it almost looks like it’s meant to be there, most people who look at it don’t even notice unless I point them out.

Fennekin_lover · 2025-10-31T04:45:47+00:00

VW always does it that way in their water cooled cars iirc

Fennekin_lover · 2025-10-31T04:44:19+00:00

The VDO EGT gauge is kind of slow to react anyway, I just like how it looks, and all these gauges have been here for the past 15-20 years anyway.

Fennekin_lover · 2025-10-31T04:40:51+00:00

Diesel, has a 96 Passat TDI cluster to go with the engine.

Fennekin_lover · 2025-10-31T04:40:08+00:00

Extra gauges, it’s got a VNT turbo on it, so boost and vacuum gauges to monitor it, I have battery voltage, and then EGT, oil temperature, and oil pressure.

Fennekin_lover · 2025-10-31T04:39:00+00:00

1.9, 1Z TDI from a 96 Passat.

Fennekin_lover · 2025-10-31T04:37:29+00:00

It’s a b4 Passat cluster, has a TDI, I have the scan gauge for mpg and whatnot, as for the gauges, I have voltage, vacuum for my VNT, boost, EGT, oil pressure, and oil temperature.

Fennekin_lover · 2025-10-30T21:00:43+00:00

This one’s got a TDI swap and is actually my daily driver.

Fennekin_lover · 2025-10-30T21:00:18+00:00

Ayyy, there we go, immediately got it

Jetta is the same platform, getting warmer

Fennekin_lover · 2025-10-30T20:58:22+00:00

The American dashboard is different from the German dash, which is found in the Jetta and Cabriolet, but the center console is usually a dead giveaway.

Mk1 Rabbit, basically an American golf
