Any news?

Any news?

Mike is a queer.

[Max@034]

All I know is I sold Mike a leakdown tester, so things have got to be moving pretty good!

Of course, its Mike, so even if the motor is completely finished, you know he'll take 4 weeks just to fab up some inlet pipes so they are 110% beyond perfect...

[TweetsS4Estate]

Merry Christmas Mike!

2nd, I figured by this time you'd be tearing it back down for even more.

You didn't see my point about him buying a leakdown tester for his brand new rebuilt motor??!?!?!?!?

Basically the same thing.... =)

Who needs a leakdown tester.. Throw 30+ psi boost on it and go from there.:)

[gearhead1186]

motor is pretty much done aside from plumbing the turbos/WGs and some other small odds and ends. starting to rebuild/relocate the engine wiring harness due to 4 wire rs6 coils and elimination of n80, n249, egt, and rear o2 connectors. also waiting on a TDI box from Scotty @ AA.

been lazy with the camera so no up to date photos but here are the most recents.

AMD 19 row ICs.

[nefkntym]

I just the re-read of your whole build thread from post one. Such great info and pictures, but I am at the end and I need a fix. We need updates buddy.

[Evilevo]

Mike's POS

[2380S4]

Very nice!

Wish I would of had my block/small parts blasted and coated like this!

[AudiSportB5S4]

Looks crazy, can't wait to see how it performs for him next season.. Should certainly do the trick!

[Burningcoals]

You going to run pump/meth or just go for race? Don't break my records pls.. just kidding :P Looks amazing! And go get a VBOX NOW!

Tentative plan is to get a pump/meth tune and get it to the track before it starts getting too warm. I suppose I can get c16 now or later but I definitely want to wring it out on pump/meth first to see what times I can muster. I've always wanted a vbox so its definitely on the list.

This is an excellent update.
