She turns on and she purrs like a kitten

Now I have to break the rings in and then see what she can do.

But I must admit that it is like driving a brand new car all over again after waiting for 5 weeks.

And the exhaust note is damn sexy.

I didnt know you were going for a small snail.

Seriously though are you going to mount a heatshield on the top and towards the engine?

[CARTEL]

Winston! That is great!

Sorry to be a pain, but could you possibly give me a couple close ups of your reservoir mounts for the motorsports?

[ewytt]

that is a busy bay.

No. The downpipe and hot side of the turbo were ceramic coated.

You're the best.

[MarkChai]

Right on, Winston! have fun being patient during the break-in !! :)

[[email protected]]

9psi is still a lot of fun

[MarkChai]

True that. Have fun. When my car's paid off (my new rule before any more mods since the transmission/clutch mod) I'll drive up there and copy you courtesy of Blitzkreig...

Now can we see a shot with the cup holder-boost controller showing, plus your Podi setup and all that CF trim? I'm curious to see how it all looks from your perspective...

[[email protected]]

Best I could do to mimic what I see with my eyes. I actually see more of the odometer and the clock than shows in the picture.

And before anyone asks... no a dual podi is not available. I gave two pods to my stereo installer, he grafted them together and texture matched the paint.

Not a perfect dual pod but it does what I need it to do.

What's throwing the CEL?

[[email protected]]

I'm getting an intermittent system too lean error when the car first starts up in the morning when the secondary air activates.

The AFR goes super lean and then goes back to normal when the secondary air turns off. The AFR didn't go that lean before so I'm not sure what changed or if an O2 is going bad.

[dougyfresh]

Get rid of the SAI. It does nothing for your car the way its set up.

I don't have SAI and am also running a high-flow cat. Have no problems.

[CARTEL]

are you getting an I/M readiness code from not having your SAI in there Doug? Or is this one of those codes that was conveniently turned off for you

[[email protected]]

I'd get rid of the SAI but how to get rid of any codes?

[badassb5]

Damn Winston! That bay is siKKKK!!!!!

[SleeperAvant]

Winston, your Avant is balls-out hardcore. I can't wait to hear what it sounds like!

[dougyfresh]

are you getting an I/M readiness code from not having your SAI in there Doug? Or is this one of those codes that was conveniently turned off for you

It is one of those codes that has been turned off for me. Agh. the beauty of a custom tune...


I heard rumors that APR will do it for you for a small fee (<$100).

[gods_kitchen]

that is one bad ass avant!

[EuroA4]

where does the air filter sit...in the lower bumper?

[[email protected]]

Air filter is in the lower bumper about 10 inches back from the lower foglight opening.

[JumboBlack1.8]

When're we gonna get some vid clips of that beast???

[[email protected]]

When?

Whenever I can get hold of someone local with a decent video camera.
