[PassionGarage]

this is going to be good !!

[euro_gli]

Thanks PassionGarage. Friday I'm ordering the rest of the fittings I need and everything else to get it sorted out. It's slow since this is my daily driver.

Looks good!

OMW I do not believe this. Yet another New Jetta to make me jealous(Stock 1.6TDi in my garage)

[euro_gli]

Thanks everyone sorry for the slow updates. My next 3 off days I should have the frame done and hopefully some lines routed. The wood floor will be awhile gotta find someone handy to cut the curves of the trunk so it's fitted.

[Nardo]

Oh shhhhhh... THOSE RIMS!

Following for sure.

[euro_gli]

Picked up what should be the "last" of the fittings.

[euro_gli]

Some good progress!!

[euro_gli]

Got everything ran and installed, everything airs up and holds pressure, just trying to finish this dang frame notch PITA.

Did a test fit of the wheels (yes I know they are directional and on the wrong side)













This is with -0 camber I will be maxing out the stock ones at -3.5 to -4.0


Where I am stuck right now, need to get another 3" hole saw bit tomorrow

and she's bagged!

Anything diesel will always get a thumbs up from me, and the air install looks very clean!

Couple'a quick thoughts on your air ride setup:

1. Be cautious about those SMC PTC elbows you're using. I've found over time that they cease sealing well to the fitting they're inserted into. Eventually the receiving fitting wears a groove in the stem on the elbow, which makes the receiving fitting unable to grab the stem as effectively. I've been slowly going through and removing those from my system.

2. The loop of the braided Viair leader hoses makes me nervous where they are in contact with the compressor. Those compressors vibrate a good deal when they run, and I'm concerned that they'll abrade through those leader hoses in short order.

3. Where did you hide your safety valve?

[euro_gli]

The compressors don't vibrate nearly as much because I have the isolator kits for them but I will look into something maybe a rubber line separator wrapped around the braided line to protect more.

Which SMC PTCs? The PTC 90s that go into the bulkheads?
