Replaced my coolant temp sensor, thermostat, MAFS, changed a few hoses, replaced my hood release cable (previous one melted...), changed my fuel filter, replaced my DV with a 710, swapped out my old stero with a nice big touch screen deck, polished my car, oh and got it tuned. (past week or so of work)

Spent far too much time on my car this weekend for what I accomplished...
-cleaned throttle body, now clean enough to eat out of (if I didn't use chemicals to clean it), also new TB gasket
-swapped out stock oil feed line with PSi Concepts -4 AN stainless braided line. Its routing turned out quite well
-relocated DV to driver's side, right before throttle body. This allows MUCH easier access and also diverts post-intercooled air instead of pre-intercooled air.
-got a new, larger intercooler
it's a CX Racing 22x7.5x2.5 bar&plate core that replaced my 21.5x5.5x2.5 bar&plate core... so I increased intercooler capacity by almost 40%! Struggled to make a new bracket for it, and that bracket is hitting the bumper support so the bumper isn't quite sitting well... more work to be done there.
-installed a longer AC belt since the AC compressor had to be moved out about 5mm to accommodate the stainless/braided turbo oil drain line (so for the first time in about 2 months I have AC)
-and of course I changed the oil for the millionth time

This was last night... but I discovered one of my primary boost/vacuum leaks, that I had been searching for over the last couple months:
It's the L-hose under the intake manifold that connects to the T-fitting. The other ends of the T-fitting normally supply vacuum (through check valves) to the cruise control module and EVAP system.

thats the dash kit AUDI A4 S4 CAR STEREO SINGLE/DOUBLE/2/D-DIN RADIO INSTALL DASH KIT METRA 99-9105 | eBay i bought it from him. The LED isn't adjustable, its a older model, like 09 or 08, avic-z2.
How much did you pay for that head unit? I hope it wasn't much as you could have bought the 2012 series for 500.00 on Amazon.com.
What speakers you have to go with the head unit,sub and amps?
Thank for the link...
