Default OT: No CAPS submissions in over a month? Maybe it's time I run one for higher temps

I have installed 2.8 engine mounts, a DTS, new tires, new spark plugs, S4 rear sway, and ran another 1/2 can of Seafoam in the intake since my last log. Tires *might* matter, the spark plugs could, and the Seafoam should, but I can't imagine it'll amount to much. At least I'll further secure my status as CAPS database postwhore.

Default no, the tangs compress from the front...

this relay block is slightly different from the typical ones...it has an extra purple "block" behind it, i think that is a wire cage. i could not see a way to remove it.

btw, i used very small flat head screwdrivers from the font to compress the tangs...the pin was pretty loose, and ive removed pins this way before. im pretty sure the purple piece is a cage of some sort.

Default yeah, i need more people to hype it...im thinking of putting an S4 CAPS reference line in.

perhaps that will renew interest...

the FATS method is very popular with the s4 crowd...the A4 people seem to be slow to adopt it.

Default I'm getting my vacuum lines serviced and had the BPV replaced as well... I'll do a new run soon.

Won't be a very exciting, but it's nice to see how my car measures up.

Default I thought it was interesting when you posted that 6.80 is roughly what a stock S4 would run

I figured that would draw some attention to the database. Makes me want to get a FPR and K04 software.

Default with a recent TP install..I have no reason not to do one...

I'll get out the VAG-Com one of these nights where it's in the 70's and do a new CAPS run w/APR Chip + Test Pipe. The car is definatly quicker now.
