How many sponges in the Q7 seats?...

[tim510]

sounds like an awesome plan.

If only....

All the harness sections are built. I just need to finalise testing and phase 1 of the wiring is done.

Phase 2 will be getting all of the functions working within the ECU.

God...

Its a youtube channel you'd absolutely hate, with flat brim dudes making bulk horsepower from K2x Honda stuff

Cal have you started watching boostedbois yet?...

I don't know either, it does seem hit and miss. Perhaps its a genuine Vs fake issue, its a weird one.

TB48. awwww yeah.

Was the failure of the original turbo and the replacement for the same reason? IE oil contamination. It might be worth looking into that also. a blocked oil supply will ruin turbo #3

I've worked on plenty of VQ engines. Its not fun, but doable. You'd have it apart in under a day and back together in another 2 at most. WAY less with a hoist. Everything will have already been undone,...

Turbo reco would have been $2500 max?

For a throttle stop, it has a small metal section, an adjuster could easily be added or something at the top can be added.

Worn, sticking, leaking components...
