Default My A4 1.8T

Hey, I am new to this forum and audi's in general but I have a 1997 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro with a TON of mods. And here we go!








Some of the Mods:

LLtek Exhaust.
Gt28rs dual ball bearing turbo with .86 A/R
Custom Turbo Manifold
Haltech Standalone Engine Management System
Rieger Tuning full body kit
SPP Front Mount intercooler
AWE brake kit.
Bilstein and Eibach suspension setup
The Clutch is a 6 puck SPEC stage 3
Greddy Type RS blow off valve

The Bad News:
I found out yesterday that I have a blown piston ring thanks to the previous owner. =( Car still runs but the first Cylinder is really under powered. There is a lot of Blow By in the engine right now =( If anyone who lives near colorado feels like taking an engine apart for $ then let me know cause I really should get this fixed.

Well I can't say that makes me feel any better about this situation. I didnt get it on ebay though. It was purchased locally. It was really stupid because even when I bought the car I found a vaccume leak. I plugged that and got a compression and leak down test the next day... wooohooo! Anyone want to help? I don't know this engine very well yet, just got the car. Unlimited Pizza and Alcohol to all who help.. and money =)
