if the TB skipped would it take out only one cylinder's valves? The 1,2, and 4 have good compression and leak down.

i've learned to never say never when it comes to these ------- engines.

i woundn't even worry about the motor, JB Weld will fix it... 0 compression? pshh thats just less resistance on the motor... makes more power that way... but what you do need is new wheels.... so that way you can sell me one of your stock centercaps lol >:D

+1

Also sinner, you should be aware if you replace the motor, that longitudinal 1.8t's have a diff. length crank on a manual than auto. Make sure yours comes from a slushomatic. One of the techs here busted the ear off one ala 1/2" impact because of this.

damn good info about the crank...

I had to pull the front end off the car to get to the head... Honda FTW, Audi FTMFL

Re: project: AWD turbo Audi A4 (picture update 2)
 

well it seems it wasnt a valve leak, there is a hole in the piston.. Ahhh


Now I gotta figure out why the hell it went lean on a stock turbo with the factory EBC bypassed only running the wastegate boost.

Pics are on the way

hahaha please tell me you're kidding about wondering why it went lean?

Re: project: AWD turbo Audi A4 (picture update 2)
 

Here are my options

A. replace short block
B. replace single piston and rering all pistons
C. replace single piston and rering one piston


I would like to do B and C with the block still in the car. I know I can do it with my previous cars, so I'm guess I can do it with an Audi..
