if surfaces are flat, another thing that works well is no gasket.

If the metals on both sides are equal, which they aren't

Marc- just reinforce and re-weld your pedal. I replaced on on my 200 20v, then had one go on one of my urs4's......after looking at it i was like, why in the heck would i source/buy another one when i can reinforce this one so i won't ever happen again, AND save money. JM2C.

Pretty much everything, it has universal application!

Marc, just weld it back up. There is enough room to get a strengthening gusset in there. Just check the stroke of the mechanism to ensure it isn't bottoming out and isn't causing the bracket to fatigue.

I had thought those pedals were aluminum, no?

Marc. Are you still running VEMS? and if so, what boost pressure do you run?

yes, VEMS. For the street I'm tuning for 28 psi.

When my father got his S6 Avant, he was pleased to see that the firewall was sturdier compared to the early cars, so that they don't crack around the clutch master cylinder. We then learned that instead of the firewall cracking, the pedal breaks, which is easier to fix, but still annoying! :bashtard:

Marc, got any new power curves to share running that 28 psi? :-D

Post by **Marc** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 9:57 pm

Hi Bram,

haven't had any time. Been really busy lately finishing some non-car projects (the bill paying kind) I'll probably put the car back on the dyno next time I rent a full dyno day to tune customer cars.

Aha, yes. that is part of the game in order to spend it again on cars. Work! :horse:

updates!

Post by **Marc** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 1:03 pm

no updates because there haven't been any. right now the car is in the garage, nicely detailed by germantoy and hasn't left the bay since! Part of the problem is I'm also using the car for some bench testing on a few customer projects...

that why you bought that blue B5?

I bought the blue b5 because I have a disease for which there is no cure (not even more cowbell).

chapel · Post by **chapel** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 6:24 pm

yeah, and the B5 S4 is the AIDS of that disease.

you planning on doing anything to it or just DDing it?

Hopefully for Marc he just DD's it!
