I dont know much about fab work but do you think the 90 degree turns on the exhaust side will be restrictive at all? I just heard you want to avoid bends and turns as much as you can. Seeing as how we dont have much room in our bays im sure you have to make do with what you got.
I don’t think they will be restrictive, but they may decrease gas velocity. How much they affect overall performance can only be judged oncebi get it running and tuned
I think snowtrooper asked about that a few posts back
He was asking about the increase from 2.5-3", just before the turbo
sorry i may have missed that post if it answered my question but hope you can get it done soon cant wait to see some clips of her up and running…always love seeing a single build tht is different from everyone else’s.
I have absolutely no progress to report. I haven’t touched the car since May 28 2012, everything is exactly as it was in the last pic I posted.
This is a project car, not my daily, not even my weekend car, just a project. When it is finished I will let you (FAW) know, then you can head up to Calgary Alberta Canada and run me, fuck it, why don’t you head up now and run me in my S4 or fuck it again, even my Allroad should do the trick.
If I wasn’t doing this myself, it would have been done ages ago. I just can’t find the time to work on it, I have too many other hobbies (yes, I know, crazy as it is my life doesn’t revolve around my 2001 A6) Perhaps once snowboarding season is done, nah fuck it, perhaps I will continue to stick to a timetable that suits me, not you
I expect it to be done by the end of March for my birthday. Get on it!! 
Subscribed. Didn’t know you were from AB, I’ll have to make a drive over to see it when it’s running ;D
what’s left to do? any major fab work?
It’s a shame that such a cool car is so complicated to work on. If it were a Camaro, you’d have been done a long time ago. But I guess that’s part of what makes owning these cars so interesting. You rarely see one. I bought mine at the beginning of last April and I’ve seen it 5 days.
Yes faw is a hater because you know how to weld and have a legit set-up not some hacked together hellen keller welds.
Your single turbo kit is the best period im amazed at how sick it is… the turbo placement is in the most legit spot. The only other person with a good single turbo is jared his is nice i just prefer where yours sits. They both have nice merge collector manifolds. Just get a used Rs4 intake manifold and put a bigger plenum and you will be fine with a RS4 throttle body!
