I'm having everything checked to make sure the deck and head are flat, then I'll reassemble once again. After that, I should be on the dyno and commencing my testing in depth.

Headgaskets are on backorder from the dealer right now, so I don't know when I'll have it back together, hopefully by the end of the week.

I just restarted it this evening and drove it around the parking lot. Everything appears to be OK now, so tomorrow I will finish a few minor things. I'll be @ H2O in OC, MD this weekend reflashing Audi's/VW's for Unitronic, but afterward, the car will be in the paint booth for a couple of weeks.

Can't wait as well. This is one of the few obstacles holding back the high powered evo's and forcing them to go with a stand-alone. My IAT sensor should come in the mail within the week
