Mod or wait

[Ianxcom]

So i have my stock 2000 S4 with 93k miles and i purchased 710n's, samco f-hose and TBB, and ARP chipped ECU. I was going to install them all when i discovered both my valve cover gaskets are leaking. Now i wont be getting them fixed until 2 weeks from now when i get my next paycheck. The thing is I really want to install all my new goodies.

I am basically asking will I be running a huge risk installing the mods with my engine in this condition?

id just do it all at one when you do the vc gaskets.

I'd do the valve cover gaskets (and check everything else over) and throw in everything but the ECU.

See how everything runs for a while, save some extra coin first to be safe, then get the ECU in there a bit later on.

As far as actual direct risk with the ECU vs. valve cover gaskets, shouldn't be much of a concern if any, but still prudent to get them done first.

Thanks guys. Nice to have some good opinions. I guess Ill just wait.

man you dont necessarily have to wait on the vc gaskets.
install your tb boot and fhose and dv's and pressure test it. i wouldnt wait but i dont think it matters

[Ianxcom]

Yeah i didnt think it mattered either but oh well. Do shops pressure test for free?
