Nice! Definitely interested to see where this build goes. But a BOV on an automatic?? I just have to assume it's an auto since glt 5-speeds are kinda rare, especially on a wagon. If it is a 5-speed though then that is maaaaaaaaaad.

Also those seats are trippy mang...

Thanks man! Ya unfortunately it's an auto I want to swap it eventually. I did the BOV because the stock one sounded like an old man getting off. Haha.

Definitely do a swap! There's nothing better then the feeling of driving a 5-speed turbo wagon.

On another note... If you're thinking about a swap, you should consider upgrading the turbo too. An lpt producing 5-7psi on a 5-speed swap would make you beg for more boost. I think you can pick up a t5 turbo for around $150-$200.

They did this one because I already had the tire on it but they refused to do the other 3. But i got 3 free valve stems out of them
