Man it sounds like I was really lucky to have only snapped that one big vent tube and the stem coming off the main coolant pipe. Then again, my car only has around 70k miles. Maybe we should work on a kit to replace all these buggers with silicone lines? JHM what do you think? I would definitely buy something like that for preventative maintenance.
did you find one that is damaged? If so post a picture of the area around it.
So thru all the hell I am finished and she is running great. Even had time to give her a nice detail before it gets too dark. Last night I got some starting fluid and hit the hoses with it to check for leaks, as Count said, I had quite a few in the old, brittle, gay hoses… Lol I ended up buying about 5 feet of hose to replace almost all of the lines. I left maybe one or two pieces untouched as they seamed to be fine. I ran into a few problems with matching the hoses up with the right connections as I didn’t do the smart thing of replacing as I went but all is squared away and leak free… For now…
I wanted to scream like a girl when I turned it over and it idled and drove normal, but my ego got the best of me. Thanks for all you guys help and if anyone runs into this problem, as I’m sure they will feel free to hit me up and I can troubleshoot with you.
She is all purty and ready to make the trip down to Tampa, thanks guys!
such a happy ending. I was about to start asking if you dropped some rocks in your intake valves.
I was about to drop a boulder on the entire car. Lol
Know that feeling
see I tend towards the dousing it in gasoline and letting it burn thoughts
I would do it ngng style and key the entire car-from the roof to the doorblades to get insurance to total it.
The frustration makes you learn but is always a painful learning experience. Glad shes up and running man.
Now that it runs, how are the intake temps? how you liking them?
When everything was out back together and running it was great. I now have an evap leak and I was running almost 17s lol
Fixxfest was pretty tight though, looking forward to next year with some more power 
Dang, it never ends with the audis eh 
I wanna see someone run 14s with just the tune(s)
You are telling me lol
Well all the lines are replaced with new fittings so maybe that’s what was holding it back before…? Lol the biggest problems hold up for my car is the 60 ft. Back at the track a few weeks ago and previously my best was 2.4, at Fixxfest it was 2.7, 2.8, and 2.9. That’s when I found the leak and I shut her down for the day. If we can get that 60 ft down we should be good
