GabeRossi's Build Thread

**Gaberossi** · 02-16-2011 09:14 AM

just recieved a call from usp...I was told that when they opened the transmission they found a shifter screw completely broken off preventing the transmission from shifting into gear,the part should be in tomorrow or the next day...looks like we are getting rid of the BOV and putting in a diverter valve so i am not running rich between shifts..so the car will be drivable on saturday for the show but they won't release it to me until he gets the tune tweaked perfectly. so hopefully one more week and i will start posting videos

**Audi_A4_** · 02-16-2011 09:30 AM

cant wait. why is the BOV cause you to run rich in between shifts?

**Gaberossi** · 02-16-2011 09:05 PM

honestly I do not know why it is doing that...the shop said throw in a DV and it should fix it..

**Gaberossi** · 02-17-2011 12:40 PM

okay I am getting the car back but only for a day to clean her up for the show and get my gauge wired up so they can tune the car...got some pics and a very short video of it starting up before the battery died on my camera =/

My bumper was murdered to fit this intercooler setup, no rebar, no headlight washers no front grill..looks like an RS4 front might be on its way, or S4...

**Gaberossi** · 02-17-2011 12:42 PM

sorry about the blurry pics..took em without flash and i couldn't tell the difference at the time... I am getting the DV in a couple days so when i get it tonight or tmrw morning ABSOLUTELY no boost what so ever, I dont want to snap the shaft in the turbo bc the turbine spun backwards bc of not having a DV connected...also i love my new V-banded 3in custom exhaust =)

**Audi_A4_** · 02-17-2011 01:49 PM

Looks good. Like what you have done

**kpadlina** · 02-17-2011 01:54 PM

**Gaberossi** · 02-17-2011 02:48 PM

x2 bet it is fast and fun to drive.

A DV is typically used on an engine that uses a MAF. Once the air is metered, x amount of fuel is used. Using a BOV on a car with a MAF will cause a rich condition while shifting, by blowing off the already metered air. Lol to snaping the turbine shaft. Nice exhaust!

**Gaberossi** · 02-17-2011 06:24 PM

no boost even when shes done for 1000miles then i will let you know how she pulls ;)

John thanks, you will get to see it when ur at usp's bbq and we can go for a ride when I get the DV in

sxwnsx: thanks for shining some light on the subject, makes sense I am running a MAF so the DV is needed cool..and thank you

**viceprp** · 02-17-2011 07:00 PM

Very cool build. Looking forward to some exhaust clips. I would do an S4 OEM+ bumper. It's what Im doing with my build bc my bumper is jacked with the custom FMIC. Its honestly the cleanest look you can go with.

**Gaberossi** · 02-17-2011 07:27 PM

i have a forge 007 dv for it, but we need to weld some fittings and cut some piping to fit the DV first or I would just throw it in tonight lol

**Gaberossi** · 02-19-2011 03:42 PM

The Usp Motorsports BBQ/Dyno meet was awesome! I won runner up best in class audi, best was a B5 S4 Avant. Here's some pics of the event...

**naudi1.8** · 02-19-2011 04:03 PM

Lookin good man! How in the world does that intercooler fit behind the stock bumper!? Is that a 3 inch core? wow. Looks like it was a good turn out.

**Gaberossi** · 02-19-2011 04:27 PM

the bumper's paint is cracking at the stress points...the core is either 3 or 3.5in we removed all the rebar,grills, headlight washers and fog lights

**Audi_A4_** · 02-20-2011 07:19 AM

Damn dude looks good

**Gaberossi** · 02-20-2011 04:47 PM

thanks man...its kinda crazy driving with no DV or BOV im driving like a grandma haha

**viceprp** · 02-20-2011 04:57 PM

How many more miles do you have til you can crank up the boost?

Sidenote: I thought you said you could spin your tires. . lol

**Gaberossi** · 02-20-2011 05:16 PM

i need a DV first..going in tmrw and a tune..so this week is full of surprises.

i put 90 miles on the motor in 2 days going to the 2 events that went on this weekend and break in is 1000 miles

**Dan[FN]6262** · 02-21-2011 04:40 AM

beat on it. you'll never seat anything by doing that!

**Gaberossi** · 02-21-2011 05:18 AM

I cant until I get some sort of recirculating valve or the turbo will spin backwards when i let off the throttle and BOOM! I have been doing a shitload of engine braking from 2700rpm-3000rpm during all my drives, I hear engine breaking is what really breaks in the motor

**Gaberossi** · 02-21-2011 05:25 AM

EXCLUSIVE AUDIZINE PREVIEW..........lol

***needs new muffler not exhaust*** i just got 3in SS v-banded all the way back

you haven't fixed this yet?! oh, and you CAN run a BOV with a MAF. you just have to run one like the Forge 004 BOV, that stays closed at idle. whenever you shift and a DV recirculates the air, it doesn't put it back in front of the MAF sensor, so there is no way that it can somehow read it again. ANOTHER internet myth.

**Gaberossi** · 02-21-2011 05:35 AM

yea im going to try and work some fogs in there bc i need them this time of year...fog gets redic inland here

dan: hrmmmm another myth lol... we are just going to run a forge DV, im going to the shop today to get everything fab'd up for the DV setup i might make a driving video with my new suction camera mount =D

1 Video down... more to come

**Dan[FN]6262** · 02-21-2011 06:03 AM

**Gaberossi** · 02-21-2011 10:42 AM

Dropped off the car...had some problems starting it, felt like the fuel lines lose pressure if the car sits for 5 mins so its gotta be a check valve that failed...the guys at the shop are going to replace all the oem hose clamps bc im leaking coolant from them but other than that she runs very smooth
