New Install on my 2003 VW GTI 1.8T Tomorrow

SC1.8T · 10-24-2006

I'm new here, but have heard great things about the DO kits, and for the price, seems like the best upgrade path for me. Here's what I have:
2003 GTI 1.8 T w/APR Chip upgrade (93 or 100 Octane programs), Greddy Front Mounted Intercooler, 3 bar Fuel Pressure Regulator, EVO Intake, Techtonics Exhaust, N75 Audi Valve an an EVO BOV.

I ordered the basic kit (no controller) and it seems pretty straightforward, although pictures of the individual parts would be nice, especially on the fittings, as figuring out what goes to the fluid tank vs what goes with the nozzle on the intake tube took me a few minutes. I'd gladly pay an extra $10+ for a manual with color close up pics of the parts. Also, the color codes on the relay harness were different than on the instructions, and the instructions mentioned a 86a tab on the relay that was not to be used (mine had an 87a instead).
I'll take pics of my install tomorrow, and any reccomendations on tuning hints you might have for a 1.8T install would be appreciated. I will get her to the dyno soon, and will get runs w/ and w/o the system ( I plan on running a disconnect switch on the pump relay so I can run the system only when it's time to rock).
Thanks for all the support, and for making this system available at a very reasonable price. All I need now is to find a source for the ethanol/water mix and I'm good to go!
