Sweet, I love Audi's. That's probably a smart idea either way

Yep, things went well. I don't see any more major hiccups with the install.

We are just about there. We took a day off to enjoy some time with our ladies so we only got a little bit done today. But we are just about there, just need to button up the UIM, get the midpipe bolted up and get the oil drain situated and then we should be able to fire her up for the first time this week.

In my experience this translates to : "Ladies were getting pissed off that we were spending so much time with the cars, had to take them out to dinner if we wanted any future sexual favors"

Pic update posted. So with the piping in place and how tight the tolerances are I could not fit the OMP heat shield. I'm not real concerned as I still have my turbo heat shield and manifold coating.

Nope Lava tape is meant to radiate heat away from objects.

Did you get it bled? It's a bit different than bleeding brakes.

No we didn't. We were following the instructions in the FSM. We have both done it before as well. It was pissing me off, we are so close to firing her up and this BS is stalling us.

No problem, clutches can be bitchy sometimes. Good luck, and good work so far!
