Does that manifold have the same issues as the ones on the AAN where cranking up the boost too much might cause the valves on cylinders 1 and 5 to burn up?

Fuel lines are in and hooked up, gotta get some grommets to hold the lines.    Gotta get some things to keep the lines held to prevent cracking, but otherwise we're down to wiring and adding intake piping.

Having trouble acclimating to the heat, Commie?  Today actually felt like summer for the first time this year. (Seriously though I hope you haven't died of heat stroke)

And, while I was deployed, my local machine shop shorted and drilled my 5 window distributor rotor for me so I can use it in the Audi 4k Quattro without the need to replace the ignition system.

Within 5 miles of work and 20 miles of school, cheap house with no HOA and decent sized garage, it was too good to pass up. So I can stack up parts cars and nobody can say poo poo except the city, but since I won't be stripping cars outside of the garage and will have any in process cars covered, I doubt they will say anything.

Can I post some scirocco goodness in here? I haven't done a lot of stuff to it lately but in the past its been your typical 80s VAG car shitshow. The previous owner cobbled it back together from about 8 different cars after buying it from a junkyard.

Oh hey, is that pearl white, the 80s/90s Audi colour that is completely impossible to match on the cheap? I don't see an S badge so you should just slap a mismatched fender on it and sell it to a university student who wants a posh German car for his parents to spend money on.

The other possibility is this: Return the 4k to stock and put the 3B into the 90, which is a drop in fit. But for now, it will stay stock. Already got replacement passenger side light and turn signal lined up. Send me your German orphans
