The rubber couplers fo rthe tank cross-over tube are junk....new odered but yet another delay.

Hadn't been here for a while. Great progress Mark. Any guesses as to when you'll fire it up?

It has been a while, good hear from you!

It will be ready to try soon.....New year's give or take I guess. Little things can take a long time....soon though.

The fuel rail is finished. I damaged an o-ring and looked through the shop for an hour trying to find the spare I know I have before giving up and finding something that will work at NAPA. The only good news from the adventure is I found a connector for the ducati throttle position sensor I didn't know I had so yay.

Then on the re-making the fuel sub-harnesses. They are done but I forgot to get the right heat-shrink to go with the new 8pin connectors That's on order but won't delay installing the TBs although Christmas probably will. We'll see.

Ooooh, nice and neat.

Thanks.....hopefully I can figure out how to actually assemble everything. First I realized the wires can't go under the fuel rail because they'll hit the coolant pipe., but that's ok because I run then between the TBs to get up. Great! now to actually get both intakes, injectors and fuel rail all in the V at the same time.........I did it way back by installing the rail last but those o-rings are hard to seat so I'd like to have the injectors in the rial but that hasn't worked so far.

I made a little pigtail for the coolant temp sensor to bring the connection out of the V and that works fine....so that is 1 success today.

Mark what you have done up to this point is unbelievable ,I've been lucky to work on and driven some very nice car's in my time but you are a true inspiration..Merry Christmas .

I've done a powertrain-out torque converter replacement on my Ex's 2002 C5 A6. I had to think really hard about whether the 3.0 V6 would go back in or if I'd go find a W12.

DO they make hp? I keep thinking about doing a project with one but haven't dug around enough to know what I'd be in for to get decent hp out of it......and I'd prefer not to lean the hard way like I did on this project

Thanks....didn't you do the carbon fiber stuff for your 308? I wish I could do work like that!
