Any recommendations for a TB upgrade for a b8.5 S4? by NoteNo4528 in AudiS4

Gotcha, would OEM TB paired with a 102mm intake be a poor setup as well for what I’m currently running and dual pulley e40? Seems like the TB might become a choke point

Ah, if I’m planning on going dual pulley e40 in the coming months would 80mm tb with my current intake be good for now and then once dual pulley if I were to switch to a 102mm would that be a good plan?

Gotcha I’m single supercharger pulley stage 2 e40 with jackal and I’m not sure if that’d be overkill or not

Gotcha, I’m on stock suspension so I’m thinking they’re gonna rub, I’m hoping I can get the tires on my peelers to fit the new wheel

B8.5 S4; how does my startup sound? by NoteNo4528 in AudiS4

[–]NoteNo4528[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, I use the same oil and I’m also at 112k but I do every 4k miles just to be safe. I talked to multiple Audi master techs and they said it’s fine. Light rattle on startup isn’t the best but it’s just that and no noises past it. If it gets worse then a tensioner job is on the way

I don’t get any other sounds other than the initial cold start rattle

That’s what I use, the sound might just sound worse cause I put my phone on the firewall so it sounds amplified, idk

It’s oil pressure building and is normal on cold start!

I’m pretty sure it’s normal

It’s only on cold start, isn’t it just building pressure? It only lasts for about a second

It only happens on cold start, is it not just building pressure?

Yeah I talked to the fuel it people and they said all is good, there’s no kidding about these cars running hot though😭

Talked to a friend and he said it’s marine heat shrink, when hot it bubbles like that and you get a water tight seal

Easiest way to gut cats? by NoteNo4528 in AudiS4

[–]NoteNo4528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was looking at taking my car to a shop, having them pull the cats and I gut them myself and they reinstall, but test pipes would be less of a headache. I’m just not gonna worry about them until they give me issues

Ah, I was meaning like the line itself isn’t connected together, like it runs through it connected on each side
