you are 100% - I have used Ellis Audi with my S8 / thanks for the reminder!!!

Yeah, FCP isn't the place for RS6 stuff...I've found most of mine at ECS, Europa, and Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta. It does pay to shop around...

So it's been a minute... But here's a little something to keep it up to date as well as first start-up! Radiator is finished and mounted as well...

Sounds about right....I'll probably have about $8-$9k in mine, but I started with turbo rebuilds and diverted to the 6 speed conversion. It also...

I'm going to do the swap myself, looks like it'll be more around $5-6k depending on what else is worn out.

Yep, with parts and labor by a skilled indy mechanic figure to be in the $10k ballpark, tune also.

If you feel that the car was worth doing the brakes and TB, then yes, I'd say that it's worth a 6 speed. Working on mine now, and really not that...

Sorry, it lives in my garage now...part of my refresh and now 6 speed conversion...:incar:

I'm good...I have Miltek catless DP's along with a full Miltek non-res exhaust...

Still available?

There was some sparkling in the fluid, so it's probably on its way out. With 155k on the car is it worth doing a manual swap? I just did the front...

MUggy, have You thought of cleaning the Cats ? Done it with other cars incl. my rs6. Removing them needs some cutting, and than later rewelding, but...

I can send you my puller setup for the crank plug if you wish. Its been proven on 4 motors so far. Let me know if you'd like me to send it to you

Sounds good, thanks for going over all this. Cost is just fine as OEM is now going for around $1,250-1,500. My concern is it seems like the first guy...

We bypassed the ATF fluid completely using the new cooler. The engine oil is running through the original cooler inf full. Cheers, Ivan

SO true on the weight savings. I started out going with BBS RS-GT wheels, not cheap but close to 10lb lighter per wheel than stock. Aux radiator...

lswing, I'm trying to see if we can group both into one buy to get our total numbers up. I heard through the Grapevine that a certain individual was...

Maybe I read it wrong before, but Wizard already has made the auto spec radiator. So I'm in 100% if we can get a few people, Mark not sure if you...

Hey Ivan, so true on weight...that's another reason among many that I'm doing the 6 speed swap...the auto tranny is like a ship's anchor!

I'm no expert, but I've been through a few transmissions, and it sounds like your clutch plates are shot, they don't have any friction left on them...

Any estimate on weight savings versus stock radiator ? I have auto tranny, but we added a separate oil cooler for the transmission, and are using...

Hi Muggy,\ Weight is the enemy, every pound conts, especially up front on oour cars. You chould drink champagne, is lighter ! If You could put on...

Honestly, not much weight to be saved....all aluminum for rads and piping. I'd say 20-25 pounds max including the coolant. If you need to know an...

Mark, Here's the info to the FB site and post, by George V, March 24th 2020. It's a bit of a scroll but all the comments and interested parties...

Hi Muggy, Do YOu havfe any estimate how much weight savings can be gained with removing the auxiliary coolers ? Thanks, Ivan

Got this back from Wizard Cooling: "Mark, The automatic radiators would have a 10" center to center transmission cooler in them with 1/4" NPT...

So I've been logging my commute and now the 4-3 downshift seems to be OK, but when I accelerate out of a turn onto a side street the transmission...

I need passenger side intercooler grill, shipped to 32084. Thx!
