you have PM

Wow Some great info here!

Yap your right i removed my A/C Do to not working and i needed some space to work on my car

Ive Got a sunroof and power everything so i just cruise around town on hot days and get tanned through the sunroof:D

Thanks for the pic, Does That bracket just act as a ground, You didnt have to extend any wires to move it did you? Also ill be using a blitz 50/50

Im not looking For amazing performance But if i did want to go up to 14 psi, is a fuel pump install difficult?

And when you say create more knock, am i creating more knock by simply slamming a TD04 in there witth an IC?

uh aaron knows about knock,, i have no idea.

with the backet, yes it does act as a ground so you do need it attached together.
and you dont need to add any more wires to the ignition to extend it, that would blow.

the most you will have to do is un-ravel the wires from their tangle nest in your engine bay

and make a hole in your firewall with a drill, to mount the bracket in the new location. mount it where the TMIC wont rub againts it also...

Another Quick question, what should the DP bolts be torqued to?

Or Just tight as hell.

A fuel pump install is easy. Some people said that their lines broke/cracked. Mine didn't so I guess that probably helped.

The TD04 really isn't much bigger than the VF11, though it'll hold more boost to redline. You shouldn't be creating a whole lot of knock if you turn up the boost with an intercooler. You're going to hit fuel cut at 12psi if you don't install a fuel cut defender though.

I know the Td04 isnt much bigger, but its newer, more reliable and is a nice little refresh for my car

Oh of course. I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all, I'm just saying that it's not much bigger than a VF11 so running ~14psi on it should be the same on a VF11.

There should be small gains in the higher psi range than the vf, not huge
