Project A4 complete.-->
just gave her a start and she runs nice and smooth.
Left my RS4 mounts loose and revved it up a couple times to seat them, tightened them up. No leaks...EXCEPT FOR ONE!! The coolant return hose (the long one from the steel line to the left side of the turbo has a small "drip drip" leak. From under the car I can KINDA get a 19mm wrench on it. Only option I have to to try and hit it from up top. I'll worry about it tomorrow..I need to go out and celebrate!!!
(any ideas on how to tighten this thing BTW?) Suggestions? Yippers? WJM? Ray?

remove your headlight...
you can get some access that way. you sure you have all the crush washers on there?
i left the banjo washer off when i first installed my stage 3 kit, and a mechanic i know helped replace it in like 30 min from below with a S shapped box end wrench from below

Will, I took out my "custom" intake (lol) and was able to
stuff a 19mm box end on it from up top. I thought this bish was tight. I got almost another full revolution out of it( and yes it has to brand new crush washers on it). Let it run for a couple minutes and checked for leaks, nothing. So now we go for a test drive and hope for tegh best (BTW..it's 10:30 am) I just didn't have the energy or motivation to do anything else last night. Coming home from work at 9 and working till 11 only to find a leak, kinda bums you out.
