Thanks dude!

Are you documenting your build??

I recently finished up my 5557-BB build. Good luck with yours!

[fr3nz33]

Are you documenting your build??

Sadly not really. Really just using the same turbo, SPA manifold, and a homologation of stuff. It's an AEB with rods etc. and a PTE 5857 with maestro file. Biggest problem with the build is the inlet for the turbo has to go down instead of like the picture above because of the location of the turbo. It will hopefully be done in the next couple of weeks. H20 puts a cramp on the build.

Yours looks to be a beast with FWD, your gonna be fighting that thing down the road for sure!

[Gaberossi]

Damn dude do you have a pic of your intake setup?....Yea this car is going to be lucky if it catches traction with street tires...i might just order some slicks and throw them on my Stock wheels for Fixx Fest, and hope for good times/traps..

[Gaberossi]

just got word that Usp has the turbo..sweet

[Gaberossi]

[Gaberossi]

you are making me anxious now...haha i really cant wait im stoked, you might not be able to tell but i am

[Gaberossi]

went to the track for a before time and the car runs a 15.3 that's soft launching...i hope to be in the low 12's with the next setup

[Gaberossi]

here's a pic of the Turbo

[Gaberossi]

I went by the shop to say whats up and wish them luck before they went to the track...i saw my turbo sitting there waiting to go in my car...hopefully all the parts are here from pagparts this week and the build can start

Since you couldn't post in the Tech Forums any longer due to your 2 Infractions, I moved the build thread back to the main forum and merged the threads.

[Gaberossi]

thank you

[Gaberossi]

~2-3 weeks until its finished, fresh re-built transmission as well..pics coming soon!

[euroazfck]

looks good man!

[doubleu8]

love the build.... now please fix your power wire for your audio system. It looks like hell and is unsafe to be running thru a door jam. Details my friend.

[Gaberossi]

Thanks guys....Oh trust me that wire has been dealt with lol...That picture of my old setup is from 2 years ago when the CF engine cover was black not green and red from heat haha. I have just been driving with a crappy tune and exhaust leaks with the old k04 setup for 2 years prior to starting the build.

[B5_t]

Super nice setup man !! i hope to one day build something this nice .. also if your getting rid of the carbonio pm me a price as i maybe willing to take it off your hands

[Gaberossi]

one day you will, it has been my goal to get something like this for 3 years now...the carbonio needs a new filter this one works but its a little torn up and the CF is tinted green now from the heat

[A4Rob]

CF absorbs heat more than plastic. Your setup is pretty nice though. Keep it up!

[Gaberossi]

thanks rob

[Lowdaily]

Looking good man...

[Dan[FN]6262]

just wait until you launch with a BT setup...... its a glorious thing.

[Gaberossi]

oh man, I cant wait until I can use the Maestro Launch Control =)

[lowandslow4now]

Driving a BT A4 is alot of fun. When I get my coupe built up we will hit the track.

[B5_t]

one day you will, it has been my goal to get something like this for 3 years now...the carbonio needs a new filter this one works but its a little torn up and the CF is tinted green now from the heat

well since its tinted gene and needs a new filter that means ur gonna let me have it for cost of shipping then ? ;) hehe ... also cant wait to see this done be sure to post up some ids with that lauch control

[Gaberossi]

cmon you dont want a custom color CF intake? it still does its purpose =P If you buy a new one it will get discolored within a year, It was my first upgrade to the car and it still turned green even on stock setup no chip just carbonio intake. I might let it go for $100 shipped bc I did pay 370 for it new and its still functional.

John are you getting a coupe quattro? or M coupe? or do you already have one or the other?

[B5_t]

pm'd

[lowandslow4now]

I picked up a civic. Luckily it was free because I wouldn't have paid for it.lol

[Gaberossi]

oh nice! cant argue with free...let me know when you start building it

[lowandslow4now]

Definetely. I have to get it healthy before I do any real modding.

[Gaberossi]

let me know if u need an extra hand

[lowandslow4now]

Will do I will let you know.

[Gaberossi]

John..are you guys planning another trip to the drag strip soon?

[naudi1.8]

here's a pic of the Turbo

Agh so this is your turbo sitting at the bottom of that display case! I saw it a couple of weeks ago when I stopped by USP. compared to the 28rs they have in the display by the front desk the 5857 is HUGE! Good luck with your build man!

[Gaberossi]

Haha yep that's the Turbo..Thanks, I dropped the car off a couple weeks ago bc of a broken transmission so they are rebuilding that and doing the engine/turbo build. When Chris Green builds a car its one of a kind, which is why I had him build it.

[Gaberossi]

What are you guys doing about keeping the oil cool with these setups? I'm in south FL so it can get pretty hot here

[lowandslow4now]

I never had an issue with my oil temps going above the norm. It seems like it went higher with the K03 then it did with my BT. I will also talk to coach to see when everyone wants to do another track day.

[Gaberossi]

alright sweet thanks
