i had them on my p5, and only trouble i had was when i got cocky with the car thinkin i was hot s***, went about 5mph too fast tried to break around a turn and slid into a snow bank. cracked the bumper a tad, got better at driving in the snow though. now my only problem is hills both up and down, although the LSD int he MSP helps a TON

Got confirmation that the new rad for my P5 is in the mail....now to start ordering parts to prep for changing the timing belt.
Which Ecstas? I had AST's and they were great the first winter but absolutely sucked the second winter..... Invest in some snow tires in a 14"-15" size and get some nice sticky summer tires for the warm months.

Oil cooled only no water?? Also I'm guessing youre removing the ac since the vband wga adapter takes up more room than you have...

nope, not removing AC, the v band adapter will have plenty of room, im not using a normal t3 manifold (like the steedspeed or bad obx)
its a cast manifold i got from joka1, the turbo mounts to the far right of the exhaust manifold and it will allow clearance of the adapter
and i would do the BB t3/t4 but....
1. its ******* expensive
2. Its not rebuild-able if/when the seals go

Hmm I always thought the garret journal bearing turbos had coolant lines too. Sweet sounds like the build is moving pretty fast Goodluck man!
