Default 500 miles with no problems on the new setup...

Well, since we got the engine all back together with the new K04/RS6 turbos and fresh gaskets, seals, timingbelt and much more the car is running great. I have changed the oil twice to make sure everything looked good and it was clean both times. I haven't even had a CEL! This is a first since going stage 3 with no cats. The anti foulers must just be working now. As for power the car is impressive, at 22psi it is faster than it was at 25psi with the K04's. My plan was to run more boost but I think after I have it tuned 22 will be plenty. I also added tracksport 600/700 stassis suspension and an awe dts at the time of the engine being out. The car is now ready for some track time. I'll be heading to Gratton in April with the ACNA for a shackdown. I still need a BBK for some of the bigger tracks but my budget is shot right now so that will have to wait. Anyway, I will drive the car another 500 miles then send an oil sample in to Blackstone to make sure we have everything back to normal. My fingers are crossed.

Default send a 1000 mile sample .. to get a better idea .. keep an eye on the coolant level

and make sure all the spots are vented (esp the 5 allen screw behind the TB on driver side coolant pipe).

When you come from heavily built I5's, stage 3 is the only way to go to feel like the car has *****.
