Stephen,

Good to see the Beast is back in operation! Enjoy it! I don't have sound on my work computer (speakers decided to crap out), but I'll listen to the vids as soon as I get home.

If you...

Where were you six months ago when I needed a new car? :(

Glad we could help you become a 12-second car :)

Those numbers look great! Let's hope that gains for the other Beasts are equally impressive!

As always, if you have any questions or whatever,...

We're good on SolidWorks, Terry, but we appreciate the inquiry! We're expanding, so ya never know :)

Glad you like it. Everything's pointing towards a very positive install for everybody.

If only all the ladies agreed with you, Stephen. If only. :nana:

But returning to my professional demeanor...

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! The true test of the system will be the...

The cans arrived this week! And, within a day, all the welding and fitment is finished with the intakes! So now we have unpainted intakes, clamps, silicone boots, and the cans.

Sorry about the lack of updates this past week, guys. With our marketing guy leaving to pursue academic interests, I've been picking up his slack (meaning his massive inbox and list of clients) and...

I'd rather scrimp and save another $60k and get a 599 GTO.

That isn't to say the Lexus isn't a brilliant piece of engineering, though. Did you see the video of its bespoke carbon-fiber loom? The...

As we're simultaneously developing a couple different products for the RS6, we have been all over the place in terms of datalogging.

Next time we're out in the RS6, I'll make sure our guys log all...

The filter cans are carbon fiber. The intake box and the two arms that connect to the cans are made of metal, yes.

I actually sent out the same e-mail as soon as I learned that Hoppen imports MTM products. haha. Great minds think alike.

Stock MAF housing and sensor, yes.

Alright, guys, here's another update for you.

Craig is currently hammering away at the welds for the intake boxes, and they're coming along great. Here's some in-process pictures, followed by...

Cool, thanks for all your help on this matter, guys.

If this truly is the part in question (which in my opinion it 100% is), and it keeps as strong of a seal as we're hoping it does, we might...

Didn't see your post until after I posted, Marklar. Thanks for mentioning that; I'll check it out right now.

Well, that's interesting. You guys don't have anything except that rubber/metal O-ring (part #13A) making the seal between the MAF housing and the turbo inlet?

Okay, I found some pictures of the item in question (funny enough, from a different post on RS6.com). Pictures were borrowed only to circle the elusive part and add text.
...

Just called the local Audi dealership. Part #13A/#34 (or, technically, part # 077 133 428 A) is metal (according to the parts guy) and is $85.00 list.

Hahn, I believe you when you say it's...

I hopped on Etka myself (albeit through a Russian website, which was thoroughly confusing at best) and just brought up part 13A to one of our engineers, who said that's another metal ring.

Our...

Ben,

The part you showed, gasket #34, isn't the part we were looking for. We've ordered this one previously during our large-scale search operation.

The part we're looking for is like a rubber...

Hey guys, we've been through hell and back trying to get this one specific part, but we can't figure out the name or the part # for it. We've ordered pretty much every single part from Audi that's...

It's -11 degrees Fahrenheit in Plainfield, IL, currently.

On my way home Tuesday night, what should normally be an hourlong trip back to Chicago turned into a three-and-a-half hour affair.

Hey guys, we just got the intakes back from the powdercoater today. They're even better looking than just straight aluminum! All the group buy intakes will be receiving this treatment, since the...

Okay guys, as you can see from the pictures below, we're almost done with all the cutting we need for the 5 intakes. After that, it's time to start welding as we await the arrival of the carbon...
