Well the cars fully back together and seems to drive one hell of a lot nicer. I think I may have had a slight problem with the turbo ever since I bought it.
Did an oil flow test on it and it seems well within the parameters of what I was told it should be.
Anyway I seem to have a few pieces left over.....runs ok without them!

almost ready for a remap now carl.....should be pumping out a shed load more torque /power now...
It wasn't using them Tony as the EGR was switched off in my map....but less places for soot and other crap to build up.
You could be right Rob, I'll get a clutch fitted first and then get it live mapped.....but it's definitely quicker now. I'll find out on Sunday as I will be going to visit a good pal so there will be plenty of private test tracks to have a play on!

I bought it from Mike on the parts request system - just gave him the reg of a late Special edition s-line on Autotrader... and sprayed a standard grey plate holder myself as the prices for that particular piece of plastic were silly than most.

Well I gave the front brakes a bit of a seeing to today and I'm glad they do what they say on the tin, no fade what so ever and I think they were glowing at one point.
Need to get the rears done asap as I don't think the 255mm discs cut it that well.
I can't understand why they put 312mm up front and puny 255mm on the rear of such a heavy car.

lol.....
Details are in my own build thread, but to cut it short; a service, some plastidipping and de-badging! Was nice to have a mild weekend and not freeze my nuts off.
(It's not as messy as it looks, it's the image aliasing on the screen because I reduced image size. Also, I know my exhaust is hanging low...that whole exhaust is a sore point - dislike!)

Looking good!
I'm always tempted by OZ due to the weight, don't suppose you had them on the scales/felt the weight compared to other alloys while they were off?
Very keen to bite the bullet but it will mean going from 19" wheels I love the look of to 17" wheels I love to drive on haha.
No pics of the finished product? I've considered doing my audi rings black too.

19'' 8.5J Et35 with 225/35 Barum Brand new tire - 19kg !
to compare - Oem 18'' alloy is 23+kg with 235/40/18 Good Year
and no i don't know the weight only for the alloys
Spraying the front badge, thought I'd have a quick look at the air filter, being a K&N,
How do I get the inner trap out?
Time for a Piper cross air filter!

The Superleggeras that Dimi has are around the 10kg mark if I remember correctly as they are forged and they added special titanium-enriched alloy to the metal and also used a special method of heat treating and shot peening the alloy which are used in aerospace manufacturing so it made them a strong yet very light alloy to have.
That's why I wish I would've had to money at the time Dimi was thinking of buying them as I would've had them in a split second.....best thing is he got a great deal on them!

Friends garage but it helps that I've worked in the motor trade for 19 years.

nice bit of work there GDCAUDI, bet she feels almost brand new, i want to do all my front arms and bushes next on mine, then the rear as it wont be long before some of them are past it
soon time for a upgrade to a newer car eh tony...or are you like me a B7 addict...still the one and only avant for me i'm afraid.
Doing the rears tomorrow then road test and then 4 wheel alignment. Then going to tackle the camshaft chain over the weekend!!
Removed the genuine audi dog guard that's been in place for almost as long as I've had the car.......don't need it now as the woofers are better behaved , well a bit .

Not really used it over the last 2 years and its just going to sit most of this year to, I've been thinking of starting a weekend/track project since my mate got his a while back and I'm getting sick of watching him have all the fun in little petrol turbo's
fair do's then tony...I still prefer the buzz I get from two wheel power, there,s something about bikes that you just don't get from cars ....
