I put my car on a lift to check the underside for my oil leak (its the turbos). While i was under there i realized the factory fuel filter was still on (15 years old to date) so i changed it while it was on the lift.

paulwd: Nice Supercharger! I mean, radiator...

Spent hours and hours with engine shampoo, degreaser, WD40 and a ton of rags and finally cleaned years of Japanese smog staining off of the firewall and other parts of the bay. It's finally white again! I found 2 splits in my boost controller lines in the process and redid those. I was losing out on some serious power and response, runs like it should now.

Also, I changed out my BKR6E's for BKR7EIX's, no more changing plugs every 10,000km.

Seafoamed the motor (1/3 Can in Brake Booster Hose, 1/3 Can in Oil)
NGK Laser Iridium spark plugs
Mobil 1 Synthetic 5w30 Oil
K&N Oil Filter
K&N Air Filter

She didn't run bad before, but there is a definite improvement in throttle response and idle.


only problem was my oil drain pan plug got tapped and it fell in the drain hole and it flooded and got all over my garage

on friday I tinted my tail lights, did 3 coats of clear over it. then yesterday I wetsanded it all down to a simple 30 second polish. I will wait about two weeks before I finish with the polish and then Ill wax (might wait longer for paint to cure)

but whenever I do that I will be starting my headlight de-lining and custom lighting setup a secret Audi trick that will be one of a kind, pure awesomeness, and there wont be any other copies on the road for a couple years. just gotta wait to see the pics.
