    chopped up lower valence blew off when approaching 140mph.

    scared the shit out of me, as loud as it was when it happened I thought I blew up the engine.

    now I have a reason to order a S4 front cover.

    zip ties are for drift cars that don't go "140'' they stay under 100 most the time, duck tape is for NASCAR they go 200 you should have used duck tape

    It was still hanging on at the passenger side end, the only end I used a zip tie on lol. Barely though, a light tug made it fall off

    35psi FTW. Can't wait for this to show up.





    Turned the boost up to 28psi last weekend. Holds it to redline, like always. A few days ago it started peaking at 25psi and settling at 23psi near redline. I noticed, while looking at old logs, that it is spooling slower than it use to. Replaced the spring in the MBC, lubed it up, serviced the recirculation valve and made sure there were no boost/vacuum leaks. After some tinkering around I decided the wastegate actuator was the culprit. Maybe the spring has weakened, or there is a small tear in the diaphragm. Either way, finally had a reason to order a High Boost canister!
