sounds like fun. a good father/son project. the "instructions" that come with the blau kits are pretty top notch.
Phil is a user named "Mr. Phil". made some douchey posts a while back and started to become a real pain. apparently once you attach a poll to a thread you can't get rid of it.

It's one of those things... you're better off not knowing.

Spent about 24 hours over the course of Friday night --> Sunday on my A4. If this car doesn't love me back, it's the biggest bitch ever LOL.
-Put back on stock turbo and exhaust manifold (stock cat is also on, along with stock ECU/injectors/FPR/SMIC/PCV) so I can get the car to legally pass emissions and the California visual inspection. Had a leak at the banjo bolt on the turbo's coolant inlet, even with 2 new crush washers. Factory torque specs weren't enough to stop the leaking... 2-3 hours wasted just on fixing this leak.
-Installed new block breather hoses and the 034 Motorsport metal block check valve.
-Put on New South Performance intake mani spacer.
-New coolant flange. The stupid heater core inlet hose (attaches to the bottom of the coolant flange) had a worn O-ring that alone accounted for 4-6 hours of the time I spent this weekend! For reference that O-ring can be replaced by one with dimensions 7/8" x 1 1/8" (ETKA and anywhere else don't list this O-ring because it's normally part of the heater core hose assembly).
-New valve cover gasket.
-Used LLTek strut tower brace installed. It makes a difference!
