Today marked the departure of the Silver B5 S4 that I’ve been working on for close to four months.

The car arrived nearly stock and left as a K04 charged Stage 3 car .

I never got to the wheel bearings as the driver side rear axle bolt proved to be very stuck and I concluded that a shop with an impact wrench would be the most likely place to get it removed.

Tuning was on the third revision, with the remainder to be carried out by the S4s owner when it was driven away.

In the meantime a backlog of turbochargers has grown in the corner of my garage.

Between the turbochargers and completing this engine build,

and trying out the Mamba Wastegates, I have a number of options for future projects to tackle.
