Very nice :thumbup:. Take a few pics of your new suspension setup. What rims are those? And rotors... They are tight :p
i've got 18x8 momo quasar IIs with 225/40 michelin pilot sport A/S.
the brakes in the front from bira.org. they have porsche 996 calipers with S4 rotors. the rear brakes are S4 calipers with A8 rotors.

Very nice :thumbup:. Where did you get those rims? And how much were they? I am in the market for a new pair of shoes :p

Very impressive! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I'm sure she's quite a monster! A PES-SC is always a favorite mod! And one of the things I always wished I had done! SWEET LOOKING CAR MAN! :bow:

She just needs to be dropped a little bit & she'd be perfect! BUT I gotta say... she looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! A BoseserBlick high-five to you! THAT IS ONE BADASS CAR!

That's how rare blowers must be to the 2.8 crowd. All these posts and only Joe notices that BIG HUNK OF SEXY METAL stuck to the top of the engine! Damn, if only I had the money... I know I know... Why not just buy a faster car... answer... to look at the eyes of other drivers' eyes light up when you leave them at the stoplight in a PASSAT :shock:

P.S. I would PAY you to make a sound clip of your car!!!

Can you educate me a bit on what I'm looking at in the pics of the engine? Which part is the supercharger? What happened to the cris-crossing tubes normally seen surrounded by plastic coverings on the stock engine?

thanks very much

How does the AEM intake compare to say...the EVO?
I'm wondering the same thing, also which one is louder? Price?
Dude.. With the SC sitting in there, i have doubts if baritb could hear or tell the diff!!
baritb, what numbers are you running with the SC in there? Also is your car 4 Mo or FWD (Tip or 5 speed)
Maybe one day i will SC my Passat.. Dont have the money to burn, but if after College i still have her, i will slap a SC and all the nice upgrades to go with her... That way i can be not only fast in a Passat, but a car that is 4 years old :p

Woooo! Tells us about that supercharger!

before I put the SC in, i could definitely notice the intake noise. it was actually more noticable inside the car than outside, but not significant enough for someone not familiar with the 2.8 to know any different. now, with the SC, at lower RPM, the SC noise is barely noticable, but at higher RPM it's pretty much all you hear from the engine. inside the car, however, you get a nice mix of the SC whine with a deep exhaust tone in the back.

i know the SC kit doesn't seem like it includes that much for the large price tag, but if you take a look inside the manifold, it's surprising how complex the blower system is. I thought it was just a big turbine, but it's actually a bunch of small fan-looking things that spin in all crazy opposite directions. plus it probably took quite a bit of chip programming on behalf of GIAC to get the engine to handle positive manifold pressure. and i can't put a price on the feeling i get when I pull up to a stoplight in a station wagon and leave everyone else behind :D.
BTW, it's a tip 4 motion.
