Great to see profess happening on this. Brembo BBks are vehicle and caliper specific for the carriers, but I have seen 3.5" as a measure from center to center of the bracket holes. Not sure which you have so I think you are better off contacting brembo with pictures and asking.

yea that is what i was thinking of doing becaus i know most brembo calipers are universal for most of the kits its just the brackets that are different so i think imma call them sometime this week and ask.

and on a side note the battery is finally dead after 2 years of babying it trying to make it last for 3 years of sitting finally shorted out one of the cells in the batt so it wont even accept a charge now let alone start my car. which really bothers me because ive been starting and letting the car warm up at least 2-3 times a week for the past 2 years. i dont really wanna buy a new one just to have it sit there for another 11 months and possibly die on me before i start driving again.

[Shameless]

Jeeze shoulda just grabbed a battery charger. wasted enough gas in that 2 years for another battery.

[05GTI1.8T]

wasted gas or wasted motor u pick lol

and the battery was pretty much shot when the car got parked its been on a charger for 2 years and finally crapped out on me

[_FUBAR_]

Sweet. You using resistors or the plug n play ones?

[Pssst...passed you]

Damn, another thing I need to do still...

[05GTI1.8T]

just bought some tubing and clamps still trying to find the resistors i went to radio shack and home depot neither of them had it and i went to the local parts stores and none of them had it so i might have to buy them online i need 4 x 10w 330 ohm resistors. im goin to check out a few more places but i still have to wait for the new coolant neck and block off plate to come in

@ fubar how reliable are the plug n play ones i dont know if i want to spend 13 bucks per plug plus shipping so im trying to find the resistors locally.

@ psst u need to get on that im still trying to decide which catch can to go with or try to make my own..

[Pssst...passed you]

I have the PostReleased Plug and play ones, they look pretty quality, but i have not installed them. I have the 42DD stealth can and it too is not installed yet...

i feel like a failure at this point lol.

[05GTI1.8T]

All u need now is the block off plate a new coolant neck and the vac hoses and actually goin in there and doing the delete lol it should only take like an hour maybe 2 im already basicaly done im just waiting on the sai block off plate to come and i need to get a catch can i like the stealth one 42dd sells

[05GTI1.8T]
