That's interesting lol. Definitely logical though, I'll keep it in mind whenever I finally start driving mine around.

Figured I'd post another update while I've got the evening to myself lol

Still haven't gotten the boost issue resolved. Thought it was going to be as easy as swapping the borg ebcs for the stock n75 after having a 'doh moment but that didn't work out.

Reason being, during the test drive I ...

Update:

So turns out the speed sensor issue was actually a ring gear issue. Pulled the starter to check out the flywheel and the section of the ring gear that was under the sensor during the bad signal appears to have been corroded on the inside and ate away at some of the teeth. We're assuming ...

Cliff notes: Paragraphs summarizing wtf I've been doing the past two years and why the car still ain't running right. Probably should have kept my s2000 too.

So, uh. It's been a minute since I posted last. Lol. A lot has been happening in my life the past year or so and I never find myself in much ...

Yes, I did bend the rod, it was completely straight from the factory. It works perfectly the way it is now. Also, I had enough adjustment on the rod that I could afford to have the actuator spaced another 3/8" away from the actual gate.

I'll keep that in mind. Measure twice, bend once. Lol

Did you have to bend the rod from the actuator? I don't think it would be too bad to just cut a piece of aluminum but it would also have to be bent maybe 45 degrees or find a secure way to bend my rod .

What have you guys done for your internal wastegate canister bracket?

After clocking the turbo, it doesn't line up correctly and it seems that the only route is to go custom bracket.

Any help is much appreciated.

Don't forget videos, I have a 7163 kit coming too!

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get some info on what guys have done with their diverter valves on non-stock location turbo setups?

I plan on doing an apikol fmic but with hanks manifold I'm not sure using my existing silicone boost hoses will fit without modification or having to ...

So the links both of you guys sent me are completely conflicting theory's lol.

I did manage to get a lead today from a local vag tuner shop on what is regarded as a very reputable performance machine shop who has experience with Audi i5s. I'll try an shoot em a call tomorrow and run my thoughts by ...

So. 2 1/2 months later, the s2000 is finally gone, the s6 has moved into the garage, and I can finally begin budgeting out my "build".

So far I have made no contact with hank or Marc but I have been eyeing their joint efr7163 kit with motronic software. The only thing holding me back at the moment ...

Not I. I wouldn't want to drive the car up there until I take care of a bad pulley it has along with the timing belt. I need to arrange grabbing the special tools and parts from Audi down the street if they have them.

I'll keep that in mind. I should be pretty busy the next couple weeks but maybe sometime we could catch a beer.

From what I understand the 3071 chip is conservative, which is what I was leaning towards anyway since I'd like to not have to do a rebuild and rods, etc til I go with a bigger setup. That was my reasoning for edging that route from 034. This weekend I'll look more into my options as I'll be heading ...

I wasn't planning on reapplying the clear bra, they for whatever reason didn't cover the trim under the headlights or the headlight washer covers so they're chipped to hell and for the amount of struggle it has been taking it off. I never want to do it again. I have roughly 12 hours total time in it ...

My buddy thinks he's the shit for suggesting goof off which btw works wonders more than goo gone.

Some pics from this last weekend taking the clearbra off

Hey everybody, new guy here. Picked up my s6 from another Quattroworld member a few weeks back to get her back into shape and start a build. I've got a ton of questions on build options and personal opinions on building by stages but more on that later.

I've been working for BMW for a few years ...
