Car looks great bro. If you don't mind me asking, what sizes are your tires and how wide are your wheels? Love the way they look together.

The pics dont do the engine bay justice to be honest with you. Theres alot of small details that are pretty cool. After my last blinged put motor, i kept it simple. Gloss black with a touch of polished parts

E85 actually burns slower and colder...thats why you can run more boost and timing with e85 when compared to unleaded gasoline. Unfortunately you have to run almost twice the amount of E85 to get the proper AFR's, hence why you go through a tank faster.

To the OP, your car looks great. Would love to see some video to hear that sweet engine.

Sweet.
Not to be rude, but how much cash did it take to get the motor to the point that it is? Trying to decide what to do with my GS400 next.

Absolutely a beautiful setup all around! Great job! You were a true pioneer with your last V8 TT setup but I can see where everything touched was a pita as everything I'm sure was custom in your last setup...filled with headaches. This swap seems much easier and cleaner in that respect especially how you mentioned proper drivetrain with proper engine.

Good stuff!!!
