Well, the engine for one. I was supposed to have everything back almost a month ago.
Also, found out that the pistons I had ordered way back are not exactly what I thought they are. I thought I ordered 9.5:1 pistons for an 83.5mm bore. Turns out that they are 10.3:1 pistons for an 83.5mm bore. JE offers 9.5:1 pistons but they are a newer design that was not available when I had ordered mine. Due to the way that VW/Mahle calculated compression ratio, JE had previously incorrectly listed the CR of their FSI pistons. I'm a little annoyed since I thought I had ordered something to drop my CR atleast a full point since i'm planning on running 93 for atleast the time being. New slugs are ~$600, plus i'd have up upgrade wrist pins for another ~$100 and get them coated (dont HAVE to but I did get my old ones ceramic/teflon coated) ~$200. I'm on a time crunch now and I don't have the extra 900 for new pistons so i'm going to run these for the time being, upgrade the wrist pins to tool steel and if I want to go crazy later, either get the new pistons alone or sleeve the block and get something custom.
FYI, tool steel wrist pin part number for JE pistons is 787-2250-21-93C. They're ~$20-25 each
