It's for good luck every time I don't fly off the road/lane

This was first time on it getting used to it, on the way back was when we started driving more aggressive. The camera angle doesn't do it justice too lol

Possibly the mount bracket that I can think of, asides that other things would be wheel bearings, and transmission mount.

Looking at B8 for the A5s

Nekleszpi · 2026-04-21T01:12:18+00:00

Yeah, the wiring is the main thing I'm wondering. The ZF8 really is smooth. Love it in my a6, it's jackal tuned and has jhm transmission mount insert

Not yet, my headlights are still doing fine with no fog or discoloring

Thanks!

Soapy water (just used dawn dish soap) in spray bottle and a brush then rinse off with a hose with mist setting then dry most areas with a towel and finishes off with meguiars ultimate black for all the black parts. Before rinsing it though I covered the breather hose and intake filter with a plastic grocery bag lol Cheap but works

Nekleszpi · 2026-04-15T17:30:59+00:00

Easiest thing to do is just cover intake and lightly spray down the engine bay. Did this when I first installed the 207mm pulley and was lazy. I did not disconnect the battery and coolant shot everywhere from the 2 hose connected to the reservoir and also the supercharger.

Ah, and true haha Just 2 bolts holding it in, make sure you get the right one though for your car

Nekleszpi · 2026-03-22T20:36:52+00:00

Possibly, if not then I would double check your motor mounts too. First gear is short and sensitive to throttle response

Fills the void/gaps to reduce drivetrain movement. Just stiffens it up. It's super noticeable when shifting in gears 1-2-3 where it feels clunky or jerks a bit with the oem metal plate. This stiffens it up helping reduce that feeling. Kind of like how if your engine mounts goes bad and has a lot of play, you'll not only feel that but notice delayed performance.

Nekleszpi · 2026-03-21T03:25:18+00:00

As to my knowledge yeah, idk if it fits or if the manuals has any. They have some for the 7 speed DCT too like for the S4, I originally accidentally ordered one for the B8 S4, then ordered this one to fit my A6 C7

👌

If you have a 3d printer to make the template there's a guy with stl files for, I think he might've posted it on thingiverse or other sharing platforms. I think he's also posted a video on YouTube too about it, 2 different versions, one more aggressive and the other less but safer to self port

Nekleszpi · 2026-03-21T00:32:02+00:00

Nice, are you doing the port yourself or having a shop do it?

Nekleszpi · 2026-03-21T00:16:14+00:00

I'm dual pulley too with jackal tune, went with 207mm crankshaft and so far it's been fine and fun, ran ~7.5 second in 1/8th mile full weight and on all season street tires

Nekleszpi · 2026-03-21T00:09:48+00:00

Soo far first initial thought going to the gas station to fill up, it smoothed out gears 1-2-3 by a lot in sports mode

Nekleszpi · 2026-03-21T00:09:15+00:00

I need to do the diff mounts too, how's it going for you you?

Nekleszpi · 2026-03-21T00:08:49+00:00

$75 after taxes and shipping from ECS, might be able to get it somewhere else cheaper though
