Not much of an active member on this forum but I am trying to be. I figured I would share what I am doing to my B5 this year, and I hope to get some positive feedback on my build but haters are welcome Usp Motorsports has been my #1 shop for my car enthusiasm, they have done some of the greatest work to Euro cars I have ever seen! I got the car 3 years ago and encountered many complications along the way, and now I am finally ready for this build...being a very active automotive college student and employee at VEI Systems I do not have the time to build this car myself and I want it done perfect, which is why I chose Usp Motorsports..

The car stops very well for everyday and spirited driving. I have not gone to a race track yet but I plan to soon. The 312mm upgrade was well worth it compared to the stock setup.

What's the digital gauge in the air vents?

Car looks great, I think I may have to browse the build thread on audizine at lunch

Thank you! It is a custom gauge I made when I worked with VEI Systems, it is a custom CNC'd b5 vent gauge with boost(psi) and AFR
