Sorry for the confusion, just got out of work earlier after a busy ass day!. Congrats Majer!! On both the baby and a new ride to go with it!.

My bad VNA, lol my kids are halfway there (16 & 9). I can only imagine starting back to square one. One day I can get my dream car when they are out of the house (S6).

I wish on sq5 but can't afford it for now, meanwhile I'll keep my a5 and wife to hold on her accord for until lease is over. And thanks

One question I have for all the k04 owners:
Today I abused the shiet out of my car for the first time since I got the k04 installed...parked it for 6 hours left work...drove it and when I punched it..it felt like quick, aggressive.
Was driving it aggressively trigger a point where the k04 woke up and got used to the car or its me and my fantasy going Loco?

It makes sense, remember the car has a computer that learn from the driver the way we drive our cars, new set up new way to drive, it does makes sense.

Hey Guys,

Been away for a bit, few things happened. Long story short, Injector 1 and possibly 5th injector went bad, Cylinder 1 is ok after boroscope and compression test (150..), Alternator pulley and belt went to shit, so did'nt have a car for about a week or so (New A3 loaner was nice, but too fitted and then got a little boring). Got the car back today and she road like new!, Fluidamper is in along with New Black Viton Seals and replaced the remaining injectors (my MY 2013 had the older injectors, Audi came out with newer injectors for the 2014+). ANywho, Ko4 running strong and smooth, still puts a smile on my face when I gun it!. As for the Fluidampr, low end feels the same, minimal to no lag at all BUT car feels ultra smooth, especially when cruising 60+ mph and up it feels as if the engine is working less. Butt Dyno feels the same UNTIL top end, especially WOT around 75+ mph all the way to 110 (where I stopped). Power feels more pronounced with a bit more Oompf. Overall happy with the Fluidampr. Hopefully save some cash to get Dynoed then hit the Track with some E85. Overall I am still in love my K04, not one regret.

Congrats and glad you got ur car back!

From my experience it is, incremental upgrade but again performance wise Im maxing out my potential, next summer maybe going water-meth. Im very happy with where my car is right now, especially going Ko4, drivability and performance is top notch! Only kind of wish I kept the stock look of the car, getting revved at isn't fun at times especially with my family in the car.

I got fluidampr installed yesterday afternoon and I went last night to homestead speedway, ran 3 times weather was HOT. Best run on a 1/8 of a mile was 8.2
Before fluidampr I was getting 8.3 more or less, but when I went to PBIR for a 1/4 mile I was doing 7.7 to 7.9 time for 1/8 mile and this was without fluidampr, it feel somehow smoother but I have not run it 100+mph.
It could be slower on a 1/8 but might be faster on high end.

Keep in mind this fluidampr is heavier than oem pulley. So I believe you can see some gains on high end.
Anyway when I get home I'll post the slip.
Oh and BTW I purchased the fluidampr 350$ no tax and free shipping. Website is www.ultrarev.com

Honestly PBIR is known for giving insanely, if not impossibly good slips. No idea how they do it, but everyone who runs there does way better than they do everywhere else. So I wouldn't compare PBIR times to non-PBIR times.

[majerrahim]

My bad, on PBIR I did 1/8 at 7.9

And I also changed oil yesterday to motu 300v power. I guess the best way to compare is to run dyno. I will dyno but it's summer too hot in miami

Thanks for the review Majer,

I agree that more of the power/benefits of the Fluidampr seems to be in the late mid to higher end of the RPM range along with engine protection from increasing vibrations. Low end feels much smoother with a touch more lag, but nothing I regret. Hopefully you can dyno to see if there are any differences in numbers from your previous runs.

I don't mind dyno the car but last time I dyno it was around 80 real feel degrees , and right now it's about 95 real feel, if I dyno now it will not give me accurate reading to compare to last dyno without fluidampr, if a rainy day comes with 80 degree f. I'll dyno, I'll keep you updated. And like you said benefit comes mid to high rpm. I did noticed minimal lag, but I don't mind either, compared to the less vibration on the engine

back in the shop after the car was "studerring " no boost ". I unplugged the air flow sensor and was able to drive to the shop. They found oil in the air filter and apparently spread somewhere else . Not sure where I'd have to ask them again but they strongly recommend going back to stock air filter.

Afe pro dry S not working for me, ever since I went k04 seems like the car is not happy with it. Will give more update later today

Hopefully its nothing serious and you can upgrade to the ECS one like I did! Loving everyminute of it this far! Sounds nasty.

So the problem started after the air filter was installed? That's like blaming the headlights for burning oil. In now way should an air filter cause any issues with blowby on the turbo.

Air filter was installed a while ago, before the k04.
On a different note....Funny thing is that I drove the car super aggressively the day before the issue took place, so I wonder if it's due to that or just a coincidence...
Now the question is can a damage/dirty MAF cause a rough idle

It would have to be disgusting dirty to cause any major issues. Sound like they are blaming it on causing an issue.

[Rollin Thunder]

I was running an AfE pro dry flow filter and eurocode silicone inlet pipe. After. My K04 install
Never experienced anything like that. I went with the ECS full intake kit shortly after just because. I will say this, after the intake install, the turbo is so much louder. It may be louder than my exhaust. The flow sound is insane and the diverter valve quite loud now. Still running the stock diverter valve . I was shocked at how much the stock I take box muffles and mutes the turbo noise.

[VNA4]

The oil in the air filter caused the MAF to be "dirty" that's why it was throwing the codes. I'm waiting for the stock airfilter and in the meantime I took the car for a ride and push the shiet out of it and no problem

Maybe the turbo hose went loose, it happened to me, that bracket won't hold the hose with all the power. I then installed tclamp

VNA, it's interesting that you're having this issue with the aFe dry filter. I remember the day after I installed mine on the stock turbo, I had a HUGE hesitation when I floored it in the morning. I am not sure if the car/turbo was not warmed up, but I never once had it happen on the stock filter. What's also strange is, it's suppose to be a "DRY", so I wonder where the oil is coming from. Now above, you posted that you took it for another drive. Was the second time AFTER they shop cleaned the MAF?

@Dub_prime 8 days and a wake up.

[Dub_prime]

@Dub_prime 8 days and a wake up.

I would be giddy like a school girl lol.

I have a AFE dry on my car with no issues at all. May try a TBA and see if that helps? Would be pretty important to see how the oil got on the filter, which I would assume would be blow by from the turbo.

[VNA4]

MAF is disconnected for now from air intake

Exactly. The turbo sucking and diverter blower off noise are beyond noticeable now. Wasn't going for either noise at all but I'm beyond happy with the end result. I know it has been mentioned before but I do not experience any of the annoying whistle or intake drone common with the K&N kit. The sound of the intake flows actually interesting.

Just the other day I was at a light, windows half way down and went to take off from the light. 2 cars ahead of me to the right of me a guy has all 4 windows down. When we all accelerated the guy whipped his head around so fast and I saw him say "holy sh!t". For a 4cyl it def sounds very aggressive. Grabs quite a bit of attention. Again, wasn't going for that, only went with an intake to get the most possible out of the K04 upgrade. Def beyond pleased with the end result of everything.

The Video will definitely not do it justice, I posted one on another thread and did not really sound the same. In real life it is sweet, cant decide which I like better now; my AWE or my ECS intake.

I'll try and get a video or 2 tomorrow. I tried capturing the sound of the intake once before but it was difficult while driving .

majeerahim, you are totally desensitized to the sound. Of the videos that you post ripping cars in the 1/4, what I remember most, is the incredible turbo noises. Truthfully, it sounds like a damn jet taking off when you launch!

[OzeyeruZ]

Yea Majer! You are so insensitive now to your intake! Lol. Looking back your car does sound like a jet taking off!.
