Sorry to hear this...frustrating for sure. Definitely one of my fears as well to do a re-pull after getting all buttoned up thinking that the hard part was over.

The USP metal slave is a direct drop in...so that should work for you. As far as the throwout bearing, it does have a little notch that it sits in on the lever arm.

Here's mine installed...

I was disappointed at mine...fiddled several times, now changed to the 10% reduction instead of the 35% on the JHM shifter...so much better now!

Great to hear! Congrats! I agree on the 1st gear...winds out instantly. Fortunately, I've never really been a launch and bang through the gears type of driver, more of a roll on to the power type,...

Return spring looks good...I think there is really only one way to get it in there...I'd still be suspicious of the soft part of the slave line...if you used an old one, they are definitely known to...

Interesting about the pedal feel...I'd be concerned about that. The power bleeder that I used actually screws onto the master up top and pressurizes from the top down, so no suction issues trying to...

Take a look at this area on the shifter assembly...it should have a bit of a hook on the shifter (white) and beveled edge on the box (black, mangled on mine in the pic) that you need to push the...

Good progress! You should definitely have a push down lock on the reverse...the used shifter assembly that I got with my swap kit was trash and the reverse lockout tab was smashed off...
I went...

So I did a little fiddling this morning....Set up a quick T fitting and used my brake power bleeder which gives pretty accurate low pressure readings since it has the reservoir tank to pump up by...

I appreciate the inputs from you and nubcake on this...so, for a double check, is there a good opening pressure to shoot for? I totally understand that balancing the 2 to open at equal pressures is...

Cool, just make sure the shoes snap on and stay on...my first set would click on either side, but not both together.

On the wastegate, pretty sure that Nubcake mentioned further back in my thread...

Unfortunately, Audi doesn't sell just the plastic shoes...lots available on eBay and that's where I picked mine up. Kind of hit or miss on these...I tried the RKX ones to support a US based...

Tensioner shoes are shot for sure, but you know that. For the tensioner itself, there is a point in the rotation that it will be slack on the top side...do you have a lock pin in the crank yet? If...

I picked up mine from
https://www.turborebuild.co.uk

Shocked that they came in about a week from the UK! Seem like quality units with balance sheets for each included. I haven't run them yet as...

Congrats on jumping in on your project! I'd definitely do a turbo rebuild if you have everything apart...I did it and it's easy and not very expensive with some Melett CHRAs. Also, I totally agree...
