Hello....

So, my name is Nick. For the last 13 years i have mostly only VW's. I recently just sold my last VW and purchased my second EVO. Any way here are a few of the vw's i have built ...None of them were for their speed, mostly for there appearance...





now that i have flooded your minds with what i had and the quality/style of what i produce....back in 2010 I sold my red mk4 gli and purchased a 2003 evo.
I'm sure you have seen it before, I believe the previous owner was/is on here.

Then I sold it when I got in a financial problems.
Switched careers from the restaurant world and now I am a service advisor for a local VW dealership. While I love my VW's, it was time for a change. After I had the evo 8, I had this...

then the itch came and I bought this...

Bought it from a small dealership down in Seattle. brought it to my work and my techs and I completed a full service (all fluids, and spark plugs), and replaced the steering angle sensor (had a fault for the awc service required).
That was 3 weeks ago, and so far all is awesome with the car.
Have some parts being delivered tomorrow (megan drift spec cat-back, map test pipe, map upper intercooler pipe, k&n panel filter, silicone turbo inlet pipe, boost gauge, and aem uego wideband) after I get my bonus, I will more than likely get a upgraded intercooler and then a full tune from English racing. Only thing I have done was put some spacers on it (not pictured with spacers installed).
Anyway, that is my re-introduction.

Cheers
Nicholas

Fantastic set of cars over the years. I especially like the tan, quilted interior!

Wife and I went to her parents for Christmas. Loaned the evo to a good friend of mine. He messaged me and said that he installed my boost gauge,map upper intercooler pipe, tomei expreme cat back, map test pipe, and depo silicone inlet pipe.
Opened some presents yesterday and the in laws got me an aem uego wideband. They know me too well.

I know you're waiting on your bonus, but when it arrives, get on that Tune!

By far the biggest power gainer for the $$$. The X's are roughly 260ish whp factory, and with just a tune ONLY you end with roughly 3-315whp. The bolt ons will only help

Trying to get something set up for the 23rd. I have all of these items(tp,cat back, uicp, and panel filter, uego, and boost gauge) on my car now and under partial throttle in 4th and 5th gear it is going into what feels like a half limp mode. the rpms at idle are 1500-2000 when clutch is in. cel comes on. cycle the key and all is normal. 3 key cycles cel goes off. my guess is I am hitting some sort of overboost protection(so I have been reading). my hope is that a tune will help with this.?

Personally I would stay away from any of the evo's putting down power in the 3 horsepower range. Personal opinion, of course.
