Once inna while, chasing down a POTM becomes a labor of love. I've been after this one for about two months, and I finally got the write-up that all of you deserve. For this month, we're taking a jaunt out to the home of the biggest damned rodeo in the world, as well as a past Winter Olympics...

I'm pretty sure there is no one-of custom turbo install under this hood. ;)

http://www.designengineering.com/category/catalog/cryo2-system-components/cryo2-intercooler-water-sprayer-kit So I have been searching around for little ways to get some more performance out of the Passat, and came across this product. I have seen this idea before come stock on cars such as...

So I finally got my replacement 034 exhaust manifold and finally finished at 2:00 this morning. Was it worth it? Hell yes!!! I can't believe the difference it made. When I started the car and let it warm up I thought my EGT gauge was busted because the needle wouldn't move. Turns out the EGT's...

I hail from Calgary, Alberta and have been in the wrenching game for about 15 years now (non professionally except for a 3 month stint at a Diesel shop). Most of my cars have been...

The suspense was killing me. After reading about this little system shortly after they came out with a "complete kit" I wondered what it was all about? Well, doing my internet research just like every good boy should, I found my way to SRT-4 forums, WRX forums, and EVO forums. What was the...

I was searching a website this morning, and saw some items that I thought would lower the intake temps for some cars. Now, I PM'ed the company, and am awaiting a response from them as to pricing, and possible gains. This company's kit says that it will provide a 30-50 degree change in IC core...

Has anyone here added a pump and lines for an IC mister? I know some have done it for FMIC, but has anyone done it for the stock side-mounted IC? This seems like a fairly easy and inexpensive mod that can help reduce heat soak. The link below shows how someone did it for a Jetta. In that...
