mk5 Jetta - Daily, Dual 444s and E-Level

[Mike G]

All my background info is in the intro Noob section so check it out.

I'll try and update as I can.

Day I brought her home.



Washed her, took off the rear badges and put on my stubby



Got clear side markers, a rear 3 piece lip spoiler and a hole-less front grill











Then I decided I wanted to black out the grill and leave the slats chrome...







Then I went to one car show at the very end of this season. That evening I put in an order with Bag Riders and stuff started arriving...











I had an old ground cable from a previous junk yard run, I ground down the paint and put it in for grounding my E-Level management.



I picked up used management off the Vortex with the Accuair VU4 manifold at a good price.







Ran some wires





Really, REALLY rough idea



Got some stuff from Harbor Freight



I got a replica Votex lip off of eBay, which came in a box too short so I had to use a heat gun to get it to bend correctly.









I also smoked the mirror turns myself, they came out a little too dark but still light up.



And I had to re-silicone my turns as they started to yellow.



My two brothers and I at home...



More boxes!
- Sound Deadener
- Front struts
- Gauge pod
- Distribution block
- Air Line



I got a set of used Airlift XLs off Vortex



Sound Deadened my trunk





I bought a Dakota gauge from Bag Riders which has not arrived yet but this will house it.



Last week I picked up some wood grain vinyl and did my tank...







Brought my touchpad up front



Cut a template for my compressors, wrapped it in carpet and mounted the Dual 444s from Bag Riders...



Jerry-Rigged them up to see what they'll look like.





A chart for me to figure out fittings....



I'll be sure to update from there...

loooks good, i like your trunk set up

[Mike G]

Thanks for the comments. I can't decide if I'm going to like where my compressors will be, I'm waiting on my triple square bits to arrive. I had to order them offline, NAPA, Auto Zone, Advaced auto and Sears didn't have any. I need them to remove the parcel shelf.

I like the break down of things - Although more and more now I want bags. haha

[Mike G]

I'll keep breaking everything down. I figure this will be kind of a ' go-to' spot for anyone with a similar set up.

pretty sick setup

My triple-square bits arrived yesterday! I'll be able to take off the rear parcel shelf and get those compressors mounted.

I have a busy couple of weeks coming up but I will try to update when I'm able to find some time.
