    ripNdip's MK6 Jetta

    I decided to go air because all of the coils for my car dont go low enough. Also huge thanks to Matt Wobbleton and his friend Brad because they are doing my install and also helped out a lot. Still waiting on my Bagyard rears...

    Air Setup:
    Airlift slam XL fronts
    airlift rears
    airlift shocks
    accuair switchspeed
    dual viair 400c compressors
    2 viair dual needle gauges which are going in the center console in my newsouth gauge pod
    5 gallon skinny tank colormatched
    accuair water trap
    dorbritz designs sway bar brackets
    ksport endlinks

    Current mods:
    AWE tuning exhaust
    APR carbonio intake
    15% tint
    LED DRL's

    also im the first person to install a cold air intake on a mk6 jetta 2.5 thanks to my friend arty. just a quick rundown on what had to be done: we removed the front bumper, headlight and splash guard. then we took out the bracket holding the power steering fluid reservoir and the ecu or whatever it is called i dont remember what he said it was and then cut off the little nub thing on the right side that the bracket went into. we lowered the power steering line that comes up under the headlight. we put the ecu thing in between the battery and the box to the right of it then put the power steering fluid res. right behind the headlight infront. also we could only hook up the smaller inlet hose since there isnt a hole for the larger one but its been running fine without a cel and im going to put a mini filter on the larger one so its now just open.

    here is a picture from while we were doing it. the small inlet hose is hooked up now and im going to put a small filter on the larger one so it isnt just open. also the stock airbox in front of the grill has been removed. i took this picture before we were completely done. all of the other pictures including the finished product are on my friends phone so ill post them once he puts them up.

    i spent pretty much all of my money on my air ride so wheels are gonna have to wait. so i picked these up off my friend who painted my tank for 100 and hes gonna fix the curb rash and paint them. also got 4 almost new 205/50/17s for free from a different friend, 2 almost new 215/45/17 for a chipotle burrito from another friend and then 2 stock 235/45/17s still have some life left.

    gotta get some wheels man....i actually saw some 18" B5 S4 wheels on CL for 350...they would be dope

    thats sounds like a bitch for an intake install, but it sounds great with exhaust...I had a rabbit with ej header and CB

    yea i want to get a set of alphards because i love the fitment and no one has run them on a mk6 jetta yet and i have seen sets for pretty cheap but i dont have the money yet. intake was a pain but i did it at the vw dealership with my friend who is a tech. it was worth it though.
    im in Mclean what about you?

    sounds good. we had a really good turnout for the first one and then today there was a good amount of people that still came even with the weather.

    floor still needs the cutout for the tank and to be wrapped. also you wont see the piece of wood in the back once the tank is in.

    Created beautifully so far, you have done the nice work. If you have any brand name of your company then you must paste a sticker behind your car by ordering to any online printing company in order make your car look attractive.
