Well for one thing, I'm glad I don't have to go out and design the 
box anymore cause techtonics has done it for me...  for my 
G60 16V project I will need WAY more fuel at the top end and I was 
going to do the same thing they did, only have the adjustment 
available in the car.  The idea is not too complicated at all if you 
know electronics, just finetuning it is a bit of a problem.

as for the G60 update,  the car is back after being fixed from the 
fire.  The knock sensor computer is fried and I'm running with a 
basic early electronic ignition sysem (no advance).   I have a 2" 
custom built (by me) stainless exhaust system now but no O2 sensor 
installed yet.  Once I get a new computer and get the knock sensor 
box, I can actually set the mixture and timing and everything also so 
that I have a good base to start the project with.  I bought the 
special oil line to supply the G-charger with the right pressure oil, 
and I've got an Audi intercooler as well.  I'm pretty sure that I 
will need to move the rad forward to get the g-charger in and fit all 
that plumbing as well. I've got the battery in the trunk with 4gauge 
wire to the front to get some more room up front as well. 

The layout is already figured out.  I have the airflow sensor/fuel 
dist.  on the drivers side, which will feed into the driver's side of the G-charger 
intake.  The output will go into the intercooler which will probably 
sit on the passenger side between the rad and the headlights.  From 
there its a straight shot into the GTI 16V intake which has the 
passenger side throttle body.  Boy thats alot of plumbing. I'll probably 
use as much 3" ABS pipe as possible or stainless steel 2-1/2".

If anyone has ideas or comments or questions, email me at
