Project: Plenum, TB, Intake piping and fuel pump
We're are halfway through the installation of the following pieces: 75mm throttle body (From a Cayenne), Plenum, 3" intake hoses with prototype connecting pipe and an extra fuel pump.
With the help of Steve Ott at Driver Source and Dan at Vivid Racing, I'm hoping to improve performance after the install is complete. The prototype pieces from Vivid had never been installed on the 6 Speed TT they were made for initially. So, we are making changes on the fly. Of course I have a tip, which has posed challenges so far during install. Have a look at the pics. We did a base line dyno before we began which resulted in 553 HP and 599 lbs of torque at 1.34 bar.

On the aluminum connecting pipe, the fitting on the left had to be cut off and relocated so the motor could fit back in the car. We also ad to weld on a new bracket to the right.
Plenum installed
Throttle body installed
Axles are a little too close, we are fabricating aluminum couplers formed to fit.
Pump and braided lines go in next.
