I'm ordering stage 3 and making a list of various parts to install while the engine is out. Here's what I have so far:
RS4 engine mounts
tranny mounts
valve cover gaskets
new coolant tank
crank seal
tranny seals
O-rings for oil return lines

I'm not doing the timing belt at this time. I'll do that later when I install better IC's. Are certain coolant hoses or pressure hoses known to go bad, besides TBB since I'm already ordering Bipipe?
thanks

Lol, i was making a list this morning too...where did you get the o-rings/seals from?

with the set I just installed. You have 4 more potential leak points with the gyrolock(or whichever fitting that is on the banjo to oil line), and 2 more potential leaks since you also disconnect the upper oil line fittings by the manifold. So 6 more spots to worry about when you restart the car. Those 4 fittings should be fixed seals, not removable.

Also the routing is problematic. The passenger side when routed appropriately kind of bangs around on the heat shield area. And the overall fitment isn't as clean as the oem stuff.

The insulation thing is very nice though.

I'd just insulate the stockers with that Napa firesleeve and call it a day. Less headache and risk.

Ding. I was going to go Induktion, but Piggie suggested wrapping the stockers.
