anyway, still have some boost spikes, MBC goes on tomorrow, RS4 intercoolers on Monday.

Hopefully everything goes smooth before Thunderhill.

what's the proper mix of Lightweight Shockproof and MT-90 for the 6-speed????

Default BTW: I found a *local* place that sells Breeze Industrial's nice Constant Torque clamps ...

You might want to consider upgrading to better IC clamps while your doing the IC's.

<A href="http://www.breezeclamps.com/ct.htm">Breeze Constant Torque Clamps</A>

I bought mine <A href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1737900.phtml">Online</A>

Skydive got religion too, and posted the <A href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1821041.phtml">measurements</A> for RS4 hoses.

And you'll find them at <A href="http://www.rbisj.com/product.htm">Royal Brass</A> in San Jose (which is just down the road from the local Napa store which also carries them ;-)

Default I'd just run MT90. I ran straight lightweight, and although the cold shifting is better...

...and you have less friction loss, it's not worth the difference over the MT90 in terms of longevity and protection.

Keep the shockproof for the race cars.
