The_Brice,
Thank you very much for the offer! I may call on that favor! haha
Well, I stepped on the AC condenser connector this morning and now theres a leak in the condenser, so I'll wait for a few weeks to do the timing belt and weld and recharge the condenser at the same time. ARGGG. HAHA
Tomorrow morning I'll torque all the axle bolts to spec, put the wheels back on, put on the rad support and bumper, and I'll be finished! WOW.... TONS of work went into this project, by far the biggest I've ever done. More pics later as well as a write up.

Re: Stage 3 swap in progress!

I thought with new turbo's you are just supposed to get in, warm up, aqd give'er!

Im anxious to see how the APR code holds up...

Re: Stage 3 swap in progress!

haha i think most people do the break in as they install a new clutch at the same time..

[The_Jerbel]

Re: Stage 3 swap in progress!

Yup true story. The break in is for the clutch, not the turbos.

Re: Stage 3 swap in progress!

forgot about installing that thing..... thats a painful 1000miles!

[The_Jerbel]

Re: Stage 3 swap in progress!

LOL, Mike @ VAST says that the ceramic organic hybrid clutch breaks in quickly maybe one tank of gas. That is still going to be a painful tank of gas (I might even give it 2 tanks for good measure).

Re: Stage 3 swap in progress!

Re: Stage 3 swap in progress!

UPDATE:
So I finally got the whore finished this morning. She fired right up and idled smoooth. I VAG'd it and only got one code:
1 Fault Found:

18057 - Powertrain Data Bus: Missing Message from ABS Controller

P1649 - 35-00 - -
WTH is that supposed to mean?

Anyways I was surprised and fortunate to have only one code LOL.

And yes, I know I kind of mangled the AC condenser, I was just mad cuz I broke it. hehe
I'll break her in for a week and then see what she can do.
