So I've been having the biggest problem with my car since Aug but I think I'll finally have everything taken care of. My turbo was getting ready to blow in Aug so I was really just driving the car in grandpa mode. In sept I had a local shop install the K04 with the GIAC K04 software along with the 5.0 bar FPR. The car was actually in the shop the whole month of sept getting the install because I was actually able to trick my extended warrenty company into paying for the whole K04 kit. I only paid 800 to have everything installed, super sweet. I thought my turbo/car problems would be over until I got the car back and with the increase in power, now my clutch is slipping very bad. Bummer man. So its been almost a month of me having a k04 turbo and not being able to hit on it once. The clutch starts to slip around 2-5psi and has be getting worse and worse. I've decided a couple days ago to stop driving the car until I get the clutch installed as the next place its driving is to the shop . So in the mail today, there it is. My brand new stage 2 clutch and my 12lb flywheel. I really can't wait to have this installed in my car. My buddy is graduating from the Audi school in PA this friday and will be back this weekend. He said he'd be more than happy to have it installed for me for free. Hell ya. It was going to cost me 615 dollars to have it put in by a local shop. Im still going to give him maybe 200 bucks for his time, but this really helps me save money. Im really hoping that the new flywheel really helps my A4 just rev effortlessly. After I get my clutch installed, I can finally get my car into the body shop and hope my bad luck turns around. Some of you might remember, but 2 days after I got my car back from the month long turbo install, my car auto-started in reverse and ran into a house. I really feel like its one thing after another, but I just trying to stay positive and I hope by the end of the month my car will be in perfect condition again. Thanks for listening to my random rants guys. Enjoy the day.

 

looks good! where did you get the clutch / flywheel from?

 

is it south bend? I was talking to someone today that is returning their stage 5 clutch back to southbend, a bolt won't come off the fly wheel and screwed everything up. Hopefully you don't get the same problem

 

I know how it feels like to have buncha boxes showing up in your front door. I'm waiting on my M3 lip, roof spoiler and Blizzaks as well.

 

thats the only reason i dont have a remote starter. they should have a law that you can only install one in an automatic car.

btw euro whered you get your blizzaks? im in the market for a set for the winter.

 

I ordered the clutch/flywheel package from awe-tuning.com It was alittle less then 875 shipped to my house.

Where I live, it is illegal to have it install on manual but I did it anyways. It was a long story on how it happened. I don't leave my car in gear but someone else did without my knowing and I remote started it. It was just a big mistake, but it'll be alright. These things happen sometimes.

 

actually if you think about it, that would be pretty funny to see, but would suck as hell if it happened to you... you start your car, and it goes flying in reverse.

 

yea you know, cars go crashing into peoples houses all the time. no big deal, these things happen.







if your car enters my living room it becomes mine.

 

i wouldn't let your friend replace your clutch just cause he graduated the academy.

 

nice, hopefully everything works out for ya man
