When was the timing belt last done?
Does it crank?
Thank you so much Nubcake. It was a f'n used rag that fell into the pass side charge pipe.
First thing I did was only KRKTE, with no affect on drivability and O2 sensor voltages remained high.
It's possible there's rags. I'll scope it to be sure. This whole thing feels like it's...
Alright, I got the sensor replaced and still don't have any power past 1/4 throttle. Note for future reference, I pulled the axle and heat shield from the transmission, then with the aid of a scope I...
Thanks guys. I'll log it and check resistance tonight.
I used the 2.7t sensor and I'm ordering a replacement 06A906433C since it is likely it got damaged.
LubroMoly additive or LiquiMoly oil?
I've been running the LiquiMoly Molygen and the top end looked clean when I had the valve covers off.
I left the sensor in the bell housing the whole time. I just checked and it is connected so I'm not convinced about that. Is there a block I can monitor to see if it is OK or not?
Going through...
Turns out the torque spec on the pressure bolts wasn't enough to fully seat them so the pressure plate wasn't completely tightened down.:doh: Oh well, live and learn.
I don't see how it would be...
I got the slave cylinder out and added a 3mm shim between the rod and the piston. I was really trying to avoid cracking the bleeder valve in order to get it back in though and I was successful in...
Thanks everyone. So the linkage issue definitely muddied the waters. At the beginning, when I would come to a stop in gear with the clutch in I didn't feel the car trying to pull forward when I let...
So it appears that I have a bigger problem that just getting the linkage aligned. After 400 miles or so I lost the ability to disengage the clutch. After re-bleeding the clutch, adding a bleed valve...
A couple of things I found. First was I didn't clearance/cut off enough of the bottom of the shift linkage when putting the solid bearing in. After grinding that away I was able to get it into...
I've been playing with the shifter linkage and I have it where it stays in reverse now and the shifts don't feel very notchy, but going into first and second is a bear. There's no way to shift...
IT RUNS!!!
Still a handful of items to button up, but I was able to drive it around the block last night then to work this morning. With the bigger injectors and higher FPR it took a while for the...
I have the braided clutch lines. It could be I'm imagining something and when I'm actually driving it's fine. I checked the bleed again and I'm confident that's done correctly. The engagement is ...
The hydraulics of the clutch feel good so I think it's something with the return spring. Did I get the torsion spring in correctly?...
I used a power bleeder on the clutch but the grommet doesn't seal great around the bleed nipple and was letting air into the lines so it was hard to see when the fluid was coming out consistently....
What a feeling! Well done
Lots of progress since the last update.
I got the trans rebuilt without any issues (as far as I can tell at this point). The 4:1 center diff mod was an easy swap of some shims.
The motor is...
There are a bunch of grounds on the firewall, with some being near by the cabin filter. Sounds like a bad ground or loose connection somewhere.
One set of ground points is on the firewall behind...
Slowly making progress here. Mostly still finding more things to replace/repair. The good news I had is that the transmission I bought looks to be in really good shape. No brinelling/wear on the...
My front sits more like the car with the RS4 rims.

+1 more for the rubber mount. I remember having trouble getting the perches mounted on my Koni's as well. Then after two years the perches bent in the rear and one corner was sitting lower, so...
@RS8 I'm not planning on chasing HP with this car and the 630s are recommended from various people. I am going with a 5 bar regulator while I'm in there since that's pretty easy and inexpensive.
I...
I made some progress on a couple of the mini-projects, but haven't really completed any of them yet.
First was to remove the spacer on the back of the crank shaft. Drilled out and tapped a 7/8"...
