Damn! Good article though - it almost reads like a tech article. I'll keep the info tucked away for future reference. Thanks.

You didn't do a turbo swap did you? Or were you just making an observation?

 

Yes, I did. I did the K04 upgrade at the same time. We got everything off to do the oil pump and my mechanic said, if I was going to do the turbo, now would be the time do it. It would save a lot of labor to do it then, rather than having to take everything back apart again.

 

Ahaaaah! Very smart mechanic!
So the whole process took how many hours of labor?

 

About 5.5 if my memory serves me correctly. I will look at my bill tomorrow and correct myself if I'm wrong.

 

5.5 for the oil sump screen, etc.... and how much more for the turbo swap?

 

ECSTuning.com is now selling replacement MAF's for the 1.8t : $80

 

Hitachi I assume??

 

Imolas4, it added less than 2, instead of about 5 more had I had it done separately. If memory serves...

 

Damn!! So about seven hours total for all that work??!!!!

That's great! When I have to do my KO4 swap I wish it would only take that long!!

 

Hey guys....I went to the audi dealership (HBL of Tysons) and the problem they found was something to do with the vaccums and they had to clean them......the problem cost 190 to repair.....which i think is stupid and a rip off......but they said i need new brakes asap......does anyone know a good site a place where i can get good brakes.....i want porsche brakes but i bet they are very expensive .
