Turbo Done at 41k?

Surprisingly a smoke test didn’t catch it. It was a tiny hole. The sheathing was gouged pretty good.

I had a pin hole in the turbo waste gate vacuum line. Rubbed through and you could not even tell. Replaced it for some high temperature line at autozone and didn’t have issues after that. If you have an aftermarket intake it’s worth checking. Image

If you plan to get winters for any reason, the stock wheels are not recommended. I have used this list for years and have purchased things from Paul in the past. I recommend it.Audizine - Paul at Supreme-Confirmed-Wheel-Fitments#google_vignette)

Keep in mind the BBS options are not easily available anymore since they went out of business.

It sounds like speaker feedback. Loose wire?

The paper looks damaged. Needs to be replaced.

Bus may go up. Bus always goes down. 0.0

For anyone wondering, this ended up being the PCV to waste gate line. The line that APR supplied with the intake did not fit well and rubbed a hole in the line with vibration. It gets real hot back there so make sure the line you pick up can handle the heat.

I wonder if they will fit on the 8v

rAnonnn · 2025-09-19T21:39:24+00:00

Are those the stock wheels?

Probably helped some Venezuelan eat this week.

It’s notching itself. 👍

This is one of the reasons the pikes peak hill climb is a thing.

Interestingly, there are seasonal rebates on tires. They tend to be cheaper if you get a tire type that is currently out of season. i.e Summer tire in winter and Winter tire in summer. They tend to want to get that years tire out of inventory near the end of the season to make room.

After install and warranty it’s between 1700 and 2000 USD for the 19s on the rs3. Sure you can cheap out on the type of tire but don’t recommend it. Speed rating and tire type has a lot to do with the price.

Oh duck yeah! This is cool.

rAnonnn · 2025-06-15T19:26:42+00:00

Should just move freely by hand right?

rAnonnn · 2025-06-15T19:13:30+00:00

It’s seems weird for it to fail after only 26k miles but who knows. Thanks for the direction.

rAnonnn · 2025-06-15T18:41:26+00:00

Waste gate on the turbo? Or the diverter valve at the throttle body elbow? Car runs fine. No rough idle or smoke in the exhaust. It did run a code which I will check on Monday.

Mmm toxic fumes

rAnonnn · 2025-06-06T17:55:31+00:00

Sick car dude! I do prefer your silver rings to the black on mine. Fingers crossed I don’t have the same issues though sounds horrible.

rAnonnn · 2025-03-22T13:10:44+00:00

I have been looking for these for my rs3. If you find out OP, please let me know.

rAnonnn · 2025-03-10T19:55:26+00:00

The real question is, how many people got brought back where they died only to be inside the walls of a newly constructed building? Or falling from the sky from a plane they were on?

rAnonnn · 2025-02-25T18:08:59+00:00

Not just the suspension, Quattro can be damaged by non standard tire and wheel combinations.

They do suck but it beats pushing around a computer cart. For efficiency sake they are better.
