yeah, I have been meaning to respond, but I am going to tune my 20vt first, and then give you my thoughts.. give me a few days!! I am sure I can come up there!!
Yeah, Ingo, it is just the engine bay right now, but I plan on putting paint on the rest of it pretty soon. Once I find a good daily driver, I will put her under the knife for the paint!! YOu are going to love the grey!

gonna be hard to get a ride without a clutch!
Hey Sean..... How was that ride Saturday? Enough to give a guy a headache you say? Must have been either the awesome G's or the breakin blowbye :-D _________________
I been thinking (painful indeed). Im not sure 15 lb woulda split her open like that. I wish there was a way to see what the pressure in there may have spiked to when the revs cut.
yeah, there was a mean backfire.. And I think it split it.. the hard cutoff left some fuel in the runners, which exploded... I think it was the problem... Now the intake is bomb proof though.. either that or the explosion will be really big this time!!!
Wow, that was a fast post Dude, you were just at my house like 5 minutes ago!!! Yeah, sorry I couldnt hang out more. It is cool when somebody hands you keys to a 20v urq with a 30r and tells you to have a good time!!!! I still dont have a tach though.. what were you guys doing all that time!!
Wow, I didnt know that your car is sporting the 28r!!! that thing must rip dude!! You need to start a project thread or something!!
Anywho..
For the rest of yall, we are officially ripping the car around legally now!! I drove it 3 hours to get it inspected in Utah, and put on the 400 miles to put the grand total to 600... so we rewarded ourselves with anothe rpound of boost and 250 more revs!! this thing is going to be a monster!!! Oh and I love the 5ktq tranny!! 24 MPG on the trip was pretty cooll.. that was a with a few 4th gear pulls to vary the rpm range!! 80 mph at 3k is cool!!

I weighed my 4kq once, and it was 2780 pounds with an almost empty tank and no driver.

Supposed to be 65 degrees here in SLC this Saturday. I'll be waiting in my lawn chair......
Oh Darin, a SLC trip is in the near future... Once snow falls, you will see alot more of me.. This girl I am dating has a house up in Park City and loves to snowboard so I will be up there a bit! Now if the girl I was dating before would just give me my snowboard back.... :frustrated:
Peter, Yeah, Sounds like an awesome plan.. She doesnt really understand the whole Audi car geek scene, but she will come around.. I still havent convinced her to get in the thing yet if that is any indication of the progress!! But yeah, its great to have the car again..
