    Any reason to get 180* t-stat over a stock t-stat for PI headswap?

    It's not noticably slower at all. I don't understand why some people frown upon this. It didnt even feel like it took longer to warm up. Anyway, if you don't have your fans calibrated to turn on sooner, you'll practicablly be running about the same anyway.

    2 5/8" gauges in a 2004?

    Definitely sounds old school. Your influence from your background might have you taking a turn from the normal, according to these boards. That will be refreshing. As far as gague placement goes, I'm all into concealing them. I'd rather passerby's not be able to see huge gauges down my pillar...

    fox lake P51 and building engine

    15k in parts, 15k car = 30k car with 600 hp. I like this. I think its more than 15k in parts anyway.

    best longtubes and x pipe combination?

    Thats an awfully cheap setup isnt it? I dont know much about VRS, I guess. My opinion is that you can cheap out on an intake, but I wouldnt cheap out on headers. I dont mean this as an insult, just my opinion.

    Best Place for exhaust

    Stingers are expensive, you'll love them though. Ebay is the way to go, get it from an ebay store. If not.. ninosport seems to be alright. 639 with free shipping. Ebay is your best bet price-wise though. I have the stingers on mine, with an MRT-h, catted. I love it.

    Any reason to get 180* t-stat over a stock t-stat for PI headswap?

    Well.. I bought a 180 thermostat just so I could have a new mod. That was my reason. As far as "needing" it with the swap, thats a definite no. Some are leary of it.. I never had a single problem when I was bolted on.

    look at this turbo

    Remote turbo's are nice, from what I know, and my experiance around them(rarely). They have to be done a lot nicer than that for me to be really intrigued though, I must admit.

    Stock RWHP #'s

    yeah, im not so sure a midpipe is worth 19hp to the wheels, even on a s/c application. Maybe 10.

    BLEED OR NOT?

    I bet its' your master cylinder. I changed my entire brake system, and I went through the same problem. I found out my MC had air in it, and caused the pedal to be verrrrrry squishy. Bleed yer MC and come back, if it's not fixed.. we can do some more trouble shooting.

    to many cranks to start

    If its dirty, guncked up and stuff, air could be restricted and telling the car its not getting the amount of air it needs. If it's worn out or old, it could also be malfunctioning. It's a valve.. so it moves, open and closed. If something is restricting the air.. then its putting fuel and not...

    Looking at some vinyl appearance mods *pics*

    I love that vinyl b pillar though. If my car wasnt black, i would totally go for both the pillar and the rear vinyl. Why didn't these cars come with those sort of things!? On a dsg, it should be pretty sweet with dark tint. Maybe some black wheels too, even though I feel like thats a worn out...

    Looking at some vinyl appearance mods *pics*

    I suppose I should have said "I think it's photoshopped." No disrespect to this guy if it isn't.. I love the stance. Total show car look. The URL kinda gave me a hint to it.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v138/andrewfrom1985/Sidepshop.jpg...

    Looking at some vinyl appearance mods *pics*

    That side picture is photoshopped. It looks pretty sweet, especially wingless. I like the blacked out backing, and I'm not a fan of the honeycomb either. Very good alternative. I bet it would look amazing on a yellow car with black wheels too.

    to many cranks to start

    I didnt read where you mentioned a weakening battery. I know for a fact that my battery started to get weak, and the starts to longer and longer. When I replaced the batter, all I had to do was flick the key and that beast started up.
