My bagged trunk build
After running for over a year on bags, it's time I upgraded my hackjob styrofoam and tape trunk setup. Seemed so flimsy but I just threw it all together at the time. But having to worry about it flying everywhere on hard corners, it's time to bolt everything down nice and sturdy. Took the past few weeks slowly working on the trunk after work every night. A few pics of my old setup with the old air manifold.
I've upgraded to the VU4 air manifold for some space savings. Here's the plan.... A base platform, and a shelf to mount the tank, hiding the amp underneath. VU4 manifold mounted on an angled bracket. Cut the base platform and carpeted, notched the board so it wedges in between the rear seat frame and sits tidy up against the frame. Gotta make use of the wheel well by stuffing all my wires under there since the base platform is propped higher. Had to put some wood blocks on one side since the trunk is lower on that side only. Built the shelf, manifold bracket, and mounted the tank. Bought the VU4 used and didn't come with the connector, improvised my own plugs to cheap out. After test fitting, I realized compressor was squeezed. Eyeballing all the measurements didnt go as planned. Threw it onto my sweet workbench and trimmed more. Going to look sloppy patching the base platform now Almost done, then I can move onto my intercooler....
