My setup is complete.

No modding to the floor, carpet lays down as it did before bags.

Hows the NVH with the compressors mounted like that?

Damn that's a small tank. What is it a 3lb? Barely bigger than a compressor. Lol. It's cool to keep the trunk stock but it'll suck if you ever get a flat.

Ya its airlifts smallest tank! Honestly if I get a flat im just calling a flat bed... our highways here have hardly a shoulder and dozens of people die every year from changing a tire.

This tank is only 17" long..

yeah i guess cuz of the angle of the pic i really didn't think about the length of it....the width/girth looks normal though

Its about 4.5" smaller in width.

With the dual comps it takes about 35 seconds to Fill.

i see alot more VW guys run 2 compressors, that typical?? I know for most infiniti's people only run one compressor

its just a piece of mind.. if one dies..you can still air up..

true true.....i know alot of infiniti/nissan guys are moving over to cup kits instead of bags so they don't run into that problem.....if they cups ever failed they could just run on the coilovers no problem

I mean out of all my friends that are bagged..no one has had that issue or even popped a bag.

Not really. I mean, when your dropping $2500 on bags.. its not much

yeah which is why i'm surprised more guys don't get 2.....don't see many accuair + e-level combos on VW's though....whats the most common setup?
