SliMbo's new 2.not as slow

[SliMbo2.5]

Although I don't have a major build planned for this new daily driver, figured I'd start a build post to help keep track of what this will turn into and where it started.

Bare bones, base 2.5l manual. Only windows tint and smoked side markers at this point.

Update: installed Spulen vacuum pump delete kit and a USP CAI. Also put in a new throttle body o-ring since I pulled it to access one of the vacuum connections.
Plugs and coils are up next...

Updated pic with the new coils and plugs done.
The plan is to do coilovers and upgraded brakes next.

Changing up my build plans for this daily driver. I was going to lower it on coilovers but these roads are just getting worse so I'm going country style. I already have the GLI brake upgrade waiting but the rest of the suspension just showed up. Tiguan springs with Koni active struts and shocks
