    The Official Unofficial FAQ for Big Turbo FSI owners.

    Not Vdub related but big turbo related. This was one of the owners cars where I dynoed. It's running mid 500whp on 93oct and built to run E85 which he said puts down mid 700. If I remember right it's a pte6262. Not a big Honda fan but the build looked well done.

    Got it hooked up for the most part. Still waiting on my intake from PPT so I can try it out. So how much clutch chatter is normal. It's worse with the a/c on. I'm just on edge about any trans noise after my last incident. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-zAzho3mIU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    Does anyone have any idea of what the tread size might be for my ebc. It's a Gizzmo IBC-R but the solenoid looks identical to most other ebc setups. I thought 1/8npt but the thread is different. I am having trouble with GizzmoUSA contact form on their website

    This is what I ended up doing. Part of me wishes that I didn't care as much as I do about a clean install. I spent more time hiding and tucking wires than I did hooking things up. It's not about show but it's gotta look clean.

    you can see mine was leaking at the turbo outlet. I tightened mine more but I didn't notice any "lean". Sometimes you can loosen the clamp and spin/readjust it to fix the leak.

    ECS filter housing

    Does anyone have one of these? I just got one and it keeps leaking. I torqued it as instructed and it leaked all over my garage. I took it off adjusted the seal and it was better but still leaked. Has anyone had this issue? The seal that came with the new filter looks ok.

    Maybe I wasn't as lucky as I thought. Best case scenario is to clean up the surfaces, check run out, and roll with what I've got. Worst case is a new flywheel and crank. I'll go with the first one for now. The crank is all metal transfer from the flywheel so either way I think it can be...

    So I found my trans/clutch noise! It doesn't look like it damaged the clutch disc or pressure plate.
