Awesome sound !! In the video you covered those gorgeous mufflers inside a metal box ? Wouldn't it be better to leave them exposed ?

Here is a quick video of it running with the VEMS stand alone engine management (still needs tuned). No muffler and huge vacuum leak (didn't knwo it at the time)

Also picked up this Capristo muffler with the help of Autopro and another friend, got it a few days ago and installed it tonight. I do have the car running but no sound clips with the muffler yet.

Long behind on updates! I picked those up from A friend in Cali! Super nice going to try to get them on tomorrow!

You make me so jealous, that stance on your car looks perfect!  Do you know when you are getting your quarters and rear bumper installed?

Made a little headway today just messing with the stock ECU and wiring. After doing a little looking my RPM sensor (not sure what to call it goes on the tranny) anyway didn't know my transmission had a place for it. I found the location plugged it in and it fired right up on some ether. Im going to continue working with the stock ECU for a little bit now that it is running and see what I can do. Plan is to use one of the Murci fuel pumps to run the motor, the Murci came with 2 one for each fuel rail both putting out about 50-60 psi (hope that is enough) flow rate shouldn't be a problem I wouldn't think. Need to start eliminating a bunch of wires find the fuel pump relay on the audi harness, and go from there. Here is a youtube video I posted. Im sure ill be getting a bunch of haters for me doing this but doesn't bother me.

Lastly, to the point I'm at right now is getting the wiring migrated over from the donor Audi. Kinda looks like the Murci Sh1t    all its wiring out all over the ground lol!!!

Started some body work, jammed the door, installed new wiring, latches & speakers. Still waiting on my door glass, felt & regulator (should be here any day)

Since I not going AWD I had to have these made to keep the hub in the carrier. They go in place of the stock front drive shaft. Also here are a few more pictures of a Murci at Lambo of Dallas in the maintenance bay.

Well after 9 months of no posting time resurrect my build thread and give some updates. I haven't got as far as I had hoped since I had to nearly finish my replica build and deliver it earlier this year. Right now the car still is not running due to needing to order a replacement key fob that mates to my Murci Vin # it takes 3 weeks to get from Italy. right now soon as I turn the key on the alarm goes off and shuts power down to the GSM (which runs everything).

I'll start off with pictures switching the cars peddles over from E-Gear to manual since I will be using the Porsche Transaxle & removing the paddles from the column… next few pictures are removing the factory dry sump oil system and interior pictures after everything is complete inside.

It's late here and I only just read this after returning from France , but it looks to me that your alarm problem may be associated with not having any door looms connected as far as I can determine. These will be required by the alarm unit(226) to verify whether the doors are locked/unlocked .
I don't think the central locking switches will need to be plugged in ...but probably best.
