My diverter valve replacement and test pipe is complete!

[sean8989]

yeah.... ummm hard to find the words...
4 and half hours... well i was at work but im going to be going home late becuz my friend has to bring my car from ecode than eat and take him home then go home and sleep.

my friend waited at ecode for 5 hours starving... wow. but from what i heard... the staff was working their butt off . i understand but dam... took a looong ass time.

CANT WAIT TO TEST OUT THE CAR!!! [:

[A4TwoZeroT]

congrats

[matttl16]

tell me how that goes w/ the fwd... i wish i was able to get a quattro!!

[sean8989]

hahaha you dont think i dont wish i had quattro??? lol
i jjust got word from my friend that the car was flashed and david sarabi from ecode tuning test drove the car and showed my friend what the car can do. and from what i heard from my friend... my car FLIES! it bones out quick. i cant wait to drive it.

ill repost later when i test drive my car. hell be here at my work in about 15 minutes.

[gods_kitchen]

Damn, 4.5 hrs? What was taking so long, dv? I was planning to go down sometime next week to do TP, susp & sway. I'm scared I might have to be there all night....

[sean8989]

yeah.... from waht i heard... ecode spends time overnite till 2 am last time and stuff... i guess they are really busy... my friend said they did a real good job... although i can oversee the fact that they took 5 hours...

yeah... ummm test pipe takes 1 hour appoximately NO PROBLEM... the DV i heard it took soo long becuz its located near turbo and they had to reach their hands in to install and took a long time to do it.

i dont know. best bet is to leave your car at the shop overnight. that way you don't waste your time. Even if i knew it coming . i cant leave it overnight since i need to drive to school and work and home etc. etc.

[B7AudiA4]

Nice, don't think you need to make another thread, but cool.

Can you tell me the price of the DV and the price of installation? I plan on doing this.

[mattchow]

in before new thread about dv replacement.

[sean8989]

WOW!!! all i have to say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOWOWOW OW!
the cars performance is GREAT! the testpipe and DV makes a difference. DV makes it feel much more smooth and turbo lag dropd. Testpipe makes my car smell like a big yellow school bus tho

but yeah i could hear the diverter valve.... when i rev higher rpms of 4 to 6 ... and let go of gas i hear a deep sound... sounds like a bass drum... the thing where u push down the pedal with you feet and a big drumstick hits a plastic drum and makes bass like noise.... neways yeah testpipe sounds nice and the DV sounds nice too... all i need is carbonio and sound would be nicer [:

Thanks eurocode [:

[sean8989]

oh btw i hit 160

[INTEGRATION]

DV makes it feel much more smooth and turbo lag dropd.

That statement doesn't make any sense.

oh btw i hit 160

Please keep stuff like to yourself, I'm too drugged up on meds for my illness to care about flaming you but someone will.

[A4TwoZeroT]

x2.. the turbo lag thing is probably from the TP..
and please.. drive safe... 160mph around LA area.. is really not a safe speed.. theres a lot of drunk drivers.. a lot of crazy ppl crossing freeways and streets without looking.. etc

[AAAA4]

how much was the install

[parks853]

oh btw i hit 160

You forgot to mention that was on a race track/ closed course, right?

[killahb36]

once the testpipe goes on how do you pass emmisions testing ?? sounds cool though and who makes the dv you had installed

[A4TwoZeroT]

you dont pass the emissions test.. you have to remove it before you test it.. but we dont have to test it for a few years.. new cars dont have to get smog checked..

[roarincheetah]

what do they charge per hour there?

[A4TwoZeroT]

depends on the job

[A415]

Smell??? Will it ever go away? Damm, now you got me thinking....

[B7AudiA4]

Damnit, answer my question! LOL

BTW: Don't speed like a dumbass. Because of people like you, if anything happens... If you get caught.. we look bad as well. Keep it safe man.

[Con]

Smell??? Will it ever go away? Damm, now you got me thinking....

it goes away after like 1000 miles. Mine smells fine now.

*PS. guy above me, what question are you talking about.

[A4TwoZeroT]

he's wondering how much he paid for the part and for the installation..

[sean8989]

it depends since i bot a testpipe and dv replacement obviously theyll do it slightly cheaper... ur still looking at around 500ish tho for both... well iono now becuz the group buy for test pipe is over today.
but u no they try to work with u.

and i got the dv from eurocode if you didnt know from previous posts... and the DV sounds niiiice. cant explain how it sounds but it sounds nice.

and DONT WORRY GUYS! i live in glendale area and if you don't know ... glendale freeway the 2 is a huge 5 lane open freeway. you cant see cars for miles if driving late late night.
i just needed to test it out since i just got it and all...

I have a house out there and you are right, the 2 is huge but don't be to confident. I've seen guys get pulled over a ways down the highway. Even at night.

Don't blame you though for testing out the work to your car. I've done the same too, LOL.

[sean8989]

hahah yeah.

welll i have never been pulled over YET! *KNOCKD ON WOOD*
but yeah... im very careful.

im soo boored... i barely have gas to go to work in LA then back home at night. And i spent all my money =[
sucks working full time minimum wage.
welll pay checks in a day sooo i guess im gettting suspensions withing a month and a half... tein coilovers. then get some 18' rs4 replicas. [:

Dude, are you saying that your car was FLASHED, TP INSTALLED, and DV INSTALLED????.......If so, you would NEVER know what difference the TP & DV gave you as far as performance gains. Also, 5 HRS???!!!! LOL Thats f'in NUTS bro for a shop that installs that stuff all the time. I dont know, maybe I'm missing something here???
One more question??? How old are you??....Under 20 I take it.

You stop smelling it after 1k but its still there

Ps. Smell never gets inside

[sean8989]

hahhaa im 18 im graduating high school this year. hopefully get accepted to boston university. so ima move to boston this fall. and i can smell the nasty smog smell from TP when windows are open lol but i mean... LA air is horrible neways... what more harm can it do?

[jimmyrecluse]

I have all 3 too on my quattro. I was actually the first to get the DV. They have to run hoses so that adds to the time. Smell goes away.

the DV does hold boost better than stock but I dont know if it makes a noticeable difference in spool time. You can feel something though.

[AudiA4_20T]

Dont get teins get Stasis SS or something else believe me

[PRESSURIZEDB7]

definitely worth the $$ and the time. boost is definitely holding better with the mechanical valve. the cvt tranny keeps the engine in optimal boost so lag is almost non existant. I ran my car in the 100 oct prog. today all I can say is torque is definitely addicting. the cvt is holding up fine so far without a hickup. that's with a TP. I need an exhaust. tim hook me up bro.

[A4TwoZeroT]

you got pm

[baaudi]

go to college.

Seriously, spend some money on something that will last longer then a few years. Especially if you are truly only making minimum wage..... how do you have any Audi?!

[sean8989]

[: hahaha good question.

okay so i work 50-55 hours a week. that means around 1700 a month. 300 goes directly to car payment. brother helps pay off the other 150 a month. then insurance my mom pays for.

than... with the rest of my paycheck it goes to my chill money... gas.... car tuning... college savings.... etc etc.

its hard. but i manage [:

i get paid 7.50 an hour under the table. no tax . thats the asian way hahaha

[Con]

you work 50-55 hours and still full time student?

i find that really hard to believe..

[sean8989]

yes i go school 8 am to 2 pm everyday... senior in high school work 4-11 everyday except friday which i work 3-11. but like once every few days i have to work 3-11 also or 4-12 so it all depends.

why hard to believe lol im a workaholic [:

thats wut it takes to be succesful oneday hopefulli one day for me [:

Yeah, I know that you're a graduating senior with only a couple of months to go, but that sure doesn't leave a whole lot of time for homework... back when I was your age (you know, when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, lol) I easily had 3-4 hours per night of homework and I never got home from school until after 6pm.


BTW- planning on putting your car on a dyno so we can see the how it runs?

[A44sho]

high schools around LA are real easy. And during senior year the work is even easier. And he's asian, we can cram like crazy and get an A on the test. Well that's what I did in highschool.

7.50 under the table? You must be korean.
