Darin's 80q…Alive...

[Hank]

So when are you testing the rest of hte gears?

[Audilard]

Most likely on Saturday, I hope. The wife is making plans though.....

[Hank]

What is this woman's cell phone number. I need to have a chat with her.

Buttoned up the bumper and went for a short drive tonight. Went though all six gears very smoothly. The engine sounded great, very smooth.

And since all six gears work it's only fitting this showed up today!

So far I have ran the engine to temperature and driven it about 2 miles. How long should I run the break in oil?

Nine and a half or ten miles ought to do.

I can't decide if there is sarcasm here or not.

[JT4k]

I don't drive with break in at all. I run the engine for a good while and cycle it a couple times but then I change that stuff for what I will be using and always look for any signs of metal flakes in the break in and I sacrifice the first filter too to cut open and the next few as well.

This is great news Darin! Keep going at the slow and steady pace you are and things are going to go wonderfully

[savagerocco]

about time.... congrats

[Rocket SLC]

Drove the car a lot tonight. Hit about 8 psi of boost and thoroughly enjoyed driving the car once again!! The 6 speed is awesome, but I keep forgetting reverse is down and up to the left, not down and right. Shifts like butter! I didn't want to stop driving, but I did and took pictures.

[Audilard]

Maybe I should do the rear fenders before BBQ....



I'm kidding. I'll save that for next year.... :wink:

[Hank]

Feel good at 6psi?

I think your wastegate lines are on wrong. Where are those vac lines going?

[85oceanic]

Car looks great man! Also answer Hank's question! HAHAHA

[Quattro v1.0]

If you're gonna break it, make sure you only do about 5 weeks worth of damage.

[Audilard]

I have it hooked up just like this:



Which is exactly how the audi wastegate was hooked up before.

Huh, I thought you didn't hook a vacuum line up to the top of the WG and the controller was just 'in line' with the vacuum port at the base plate. Isn't the top 'nipple' just a vent so the diaphragm can move freely?

[Hank]

Oh, thats right. I thought the bottom port was disconnected Darin. That is correct.

[85oceanic]

Good to know

[loxxrider]

Ben, I'm confused too because the way you described is how I normally do it too on Tials at least. However, I couldn't get any boost control out of my new MVR 44mm... so maybe I'm doing it wrong! That would be sweet to get right when I come home, just before the car gets shipped to Marc
