finally got the manifold modified. wastgate sits perfect now for screamer pipe to point to floor
full system is made up all v banded! nice and flowing!
majority of the engine is plumbed in and wired up.... luckily 2 of my friends have s3's so i could figure everythin out!
just waiting on getting my intercooler brackets made and parts back from powedercoaters
also need to fit inline pump this week just hoping for good weather!!

you extended the wastegate pipe, but did you use the same size pipe as it had or larger?
remembering it had creep on james's lcr
what colour plugs? one or more of them clean as a whistle?
other place oil and water can mix is oil cooler above oil filter
misfire sounds combustion/head related tho..
kinda weird tho, as head gaskets are very sturdy
std bolts?
fitted how?
thanks for your input bill,
i compression tested the head today, all plugs look fine! .... all cylinders are giving great compression averaging 220 across them
checked oil an had no white marks etc like it did the other day, car hadnt been ran today tho.
oil smells fuely!
full vagcom scanned and showing 0 faults!
next step is change oil and filter tomorrow, only things that have changed are i have put standard injectors in rather than the 750cc's... i turned on my wmi just to see if it was running for the last 50 mile other day... and inline pump was on too on the last drive.
so not sure if any other them could of made it have this weird problem? spoke to a couple friends and they recon head gasket is fine, thinking old bigger injectors could of been putting too much fuel in flooded bores abit? so thats why oil smells fuely?
so oil change and see what happens? this is were my lack of inexperience is a problem!
