I'm just finishing up installing some Buschur goodies under the hood on my 04 RS (along with a boost controller finally). Nothing too special and still a work in progress, but it looks a lot better than stock now!

 

Upper Intercooler piping only or the whole front mount upgrade?

 

Just the upper piping/1g BOV. I also have the AMS lower pipe. That extra $650 would be better spent on cams, which is my next planned big mod.

 

That's what I did and now my next mod will be Helix IC piping and a Buschur FMIC

 

Looks good. Heres mine.

I love your blingy STB. Did that add any perceptible amount of weight to the bar? I'm trying to keep things light. That's my other hesititation with the bigger FMIC -- 10 extra pounds out on the nose. I think we both need to do something about our rusty manifolds. I haven't decided whether to clean up and coat the stock manifold or get something like an equal length header.

 

It didnt feel to much heavier. The stock paint was removed and it was then chromed so it didnt add to much. As far as the rusty manifold i keep telling myself im getting the BR440.
