Alright! So work on the project is kind of tough right now since we're about 3000 miles apart. The car remains in Mass, while I'm fully moved on to Seattle. Worry not though, the rally car will soon be following.

I'll be setting up an auto transport for my BRZ and the non-driving Audi CQ for the ...

Was great meeting you today Dave, can't wait to see this thing in person!

Yes! you too Alex. Hopefully you'll get to see it turn some laps in Anger sometime soon.

Quick project/life update - I'm now pretty settled into Seattle, have a job and a place.

2 big project blockers:
I need a workshop ...

I would check the hose temp near the sensor with an IR gun. Should read ~5-10C lower than the actual temp I would think.

I'm starting to look at some spaces in the Seattle region where I can keep the project car and wrench on it. Looking for private garages, corner of a warehouse, hanger, whatever.

Requirements are minimal:
Decent Price
Power (110, 220 optional)
Hard smooth-ish floor
Able to lock or secure somehow ...

Looking more and more like it! It's soon to be my east coast Audi...

Drop to $1995 to match the MY. I'll probably just keep it if it doesn't go at this price.

What is $1000 is the overall cost of a project really?

That's 50% of my original target budget for this project!

(which has been long-since blown...)

preaching to the choir over here!

Something we all go through... sigh...

You know this car would wheel really well with a stock turbo TDI swapped in....with a smokestack.

Bump for any offers?

Alright so I still don't have a job in Seattle and I'm still moving to Seattle and now it looks like it will be without the project car. Womp womp I guess but that doesn't mean I'm giving it up! not by a long shot. I'll have to come back for at least 2 work trips, 4 weddings, 1 bachelor party, 1 or ...

Couldn't advise on the pegasus one, I'm using the 034 ones.

Damn! Very nice!

Drop to 2395 without RS2s

I got the front brake lines routed. I had to sort of guess where a good spot for the bulkhead fitting would be... we'll see how that goes later when its time to order the last few feet of brake line to the caliper.

Bump for price drop to 2995, need to get it sold!

So as it turns out, I don't have a secured job in Seattle, but we're going for it anyway. So... if there's anyone who knows of someone looking for a mechanical engineer in the greater Seattle region... let me know!

But anyway, who cares about the serious stuff, let's look at the project.

I've been ...

Where are they?

Awesome! I'm excited to see how this all goes down. It'll be great to be in another old Audi enthusiast environment - I'm sure I'll need the support at some point!

Oh, I guess I didn't make that clear. I'm actually moving to Seattle at the end of June. GF and I are ready for some different scenery, and seeing as I'm a diehard Seahawks fan and we both love the outdoors and have internal transfer opportunities, it just makes sense!

Ok so I've been going at it hard while I can. but the clock is officially ticking. Seattle is about 80% certain at this point, which means I have 7 weeks to make this thing look and maybe even drive like a car. In that time, 5 weekends are booked up with weddings, and stuff so it'll be a lot of late ...

0ooo, gotcha!

thanks for this little pseudo-drawing of the adapters! For the o-rings from the adapter to the fuel rail, I just ordered those straight from 034, fitment is nice and they were cheap (since I was ordering other stuff too...)

got the amazon o rings in last night but didn't have a ...

Bump for price drop - $3750

Thanks for Varia, but I need 14mm OD, 8mm ID. I really think the one's I ordered off Amazon will work well, they come in tomorrow.

Going to try these out:

You used to be able to contact 034 for replacements. Don't know if you still can though.

Makes a lot of sense really... maybe I'll give them a call for info.

What I found tonight is that the

ID of the boss on the IM is ~13.9mm

OD of the O-ring I've been trying to shove in there is 15mm.
