Default Wanted to share a shot of dead weight with you

<center><img src="http://images46.fotki.com/v1453/photos/1/1104698/6390941/DeadWeight-vi.jpg"></center><p>Don't get me wrong I wouldn't recommend this for the average TT Owner(these items were installed for a reason); however, with all the mods this mass delete route was the right choice for me.
Items in the Pic
1. Factory PowerSteering resevoir, and lines (will replace with a fin model and reduced hose lenghts, it will all stay on the drivers side of the motor(plus saving weight), rerouting the water line to go around the front instead of back near the turbo and heat.
2. SAI
3. N249
4. N79 (replacing this and the manual BC with a Greddy ProFec Spec II EBC
5. N112 &amp; metal plate
6. MAF (going Uni830Mafless Tune)
7. Evap canister and lines
8. A ton of Vac lines

Default No Idea, when I'm done "removing" I'll weight it all, then I'll weight what I'm about to install

I would guess I'll shave about 20lbs, we'll see.

Nice having this space next to the headlight freed up, also the space underneath where the SAI was, and the space beside the head where the Combi valve was. This space gives me room for my catch can and new power steering resevoir I picked up off a volvo at the strip yard.

Damn, you have a lot of daylight in the engine room. Looks like it is 1968.
