    Default Hey guys Whats up?

    Hey guys, My name is Armin, I'm 18 years old, graduating high school in may. I currently live in Fargo, ND. But me and my family plan on moving to Atlanta after I graduate. I am currently looking at going into Gwinnet Tech (any opinions on that school). I would like to major in auto body/auto mechanic or something in that feild.
    I currently drive a 2002 vw gti 1.8T that has been my project since I was 16 years old. I pay for almost all of the mods and repairs on this car my self, thats why it is such a slow build. I have been through several stages in the car including some that now looking back at them I would call rice but we all learn.

    Here is what I got
    The car started out as a tornado red, then went to flat black, then jetta front, and then back to golf front end, with a Red Jewel paint job 2 toned with a black hood, roof, and trunk. Currently debating on switching back to a red hood and trunk and getting a R32 bodykit.

    please excuse the poor quality pictures and sory for the long intro.

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/cakija/ go there to see pictures of my car, I will upload resized images later

    Current Mods
    Cold Air Intake
    Cat-Delete Exhaust W/ Ebay Muffler
    Stage #3 F1 Racing Clutch
    F1 Racing 10 Pound Fly Wheel
    Turbo XS Blow Off Valve/By Pass Valve
    Running Around 10-11 Pounds Of Boost ( enough for now )
    EBAY Front Mount Intercooler W/ Custom Piping
    17" Painted Black SSR Replica Wheels
    1.75" Megan Racing Springs
    Cut Shifter (ghetto but I like it)
    10K Drop In Zentek HIDS
    Smoked Golf Headlights
    Blacked Out Side Markers
    Blacked Out Bumper Markers
    Carbon Fiber Interior Dash Trim

    Almost forgot about North Carolina, anyone know how far it is from lets say Lawrenceville?

    and their is no turbo lag, it actually spools up alot nicer and quicker with the intercooler

    I think the NC campus is closer from Gwinnett.

    and it should have lag, unless you turned up your boost. The more volume the intercooler has, the more turbo lag an engine will have.

    How far is it from Gwinnett do you know?

    and I havnt realized any lag, didnt mess with the boost. The turbo seems to spool up a bit quicker and my car felt more powerfull after the front mount was installed.
