I hear ya, worst part for me is half my stuff is somewhere between German and here. I start getting a little worried when it takes more than 6 weeks to get something and I have done a foreign wire transfer. &lt;crossing fingers and toes&gt;

Do some pressure testing. AWE has a document you can use to build your own cheap-o pressure tester.<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/faq/awefaq_main.cfm?FAQ=35">Please click here to see document</a></li></ul>

sure that it is still running strong.

Definitely check for boost leaks and you may want to do a FATS run with your Vag to see what kind of times you are running. You can compare your times to other stock cars.

oh man that is the worst, i had to wait four weeks for some german parts that i had to wire money for... and i wasnt sleeping well at all. ive been burned before, and am extremely leary when ppl take longer than usual, or request direct deposit.

i tried to deal with reputable vendors, or ppl who have done business with me in the past however sometimes you find those good deals that you just have to gamble on.

i dont like to charge... and here i am again, buying the engine crap... its truly a sickness. hopefully this is the end. the funny thing is ill prolly wind up selling the car within the next few months anyhow... (if the right buyer come along)
