I have a read a few times that they will work well if you replace all the hardware (nuts and bolts) and use washers to take up some slop in the linkage.

I saw a set in person maybe 6 months back. The linkage set up is terrible and the springs they use are to weak to set the throttle plates back from wot back down to idle. Basically from what I looked at the car will never idle correctly with them and they are small for itb's anyways.

well that the other plan but I was hoping for 240whp and I think the biggest is still too small. Boring is an option but then the price gets closer to just buying something.

PBT sponcership? lol

residual pressure valves caused nothing but grief.

talked to wilwood techs this morning, turns out there is a goofy way to bleed a brake system with balance bars on the masters. spent a good while doing that today, seems to be doing better. Gonna road test it tmrw once i can figure out why the fuel pump circuit is blowing fuses randomly now...ugh stupid car, i just want it out of my shop. :(

The only reason anyone should go NA is if some nog stole their turbo. Or they're swapping in a J-series.

Personally after doing the whole rhmt itb thing years ago, it was a really fun project but i gathered that it really wasn't worth it in the end unless your doing it for the sole purpose of fucking around and building shit. and buying a prebuilt set of itb's kinda defeats the purpose , right?

Although this winter i'm temped to build a custom set of 38mm or so itb's for the a6 with a custom plenum.(turbo is staying of course) might be fun, idk.
