It'll be interesting to see what happens when you move it to the feed side for the rail. I mean, obviously its doing something if your tuning issue is sorted. Also, thanks again for letting me stop by and borrow tools last weekend. I'll see if I can get them back to you in the next couple weeks :bigtu: |

Jesus I hope not, I believe you meant biennial? :)

I'll see if I can get them back to you in the next couple weeks :bigtu: I don't think moving it to the feed line is going to make any significant difference. I had it in there briefly when I was first testing it (to confirm that it worked before putting in the effort to mount it), and the effects at idle were the same. I couldn't drive it that way (damper was unsecured, feed line was dangling below the frame rails), but I could idle it. Glad the tools were helpful! --Ian |

<p>Remind me why you didn't simply move the referenced FPR to just downstream of the fuel rail, as in at typical referenced, return style system. </p>

--Ian Cool results though! It's your car not mine, but man I wish you had that regulator up front, referenced, and then did this test with and without the damper. Just for my own knowledge though. |
Also forgot, but for coils I run IGN1A Race coils and they are great. I run .030" gap on them at 28 PSI. I can run .040" gap on them but I have to crank the dwell to 5.0+ for them to do that. I just run them at .030" gap and 3ms dwell as running 5.0+ seemed like a bad idea for coil reliability. I could idle 19.0:1 AFRs with .040" gap, it will misfire in the 18.0:1 AFRs now but it's really not an issue.

I run a stock rail with 6AN lines, return setup, etc. It's possible, doable, and works. We run similar boost/power. I doubt I have more fittings than your setup, it's not that crazy.

One other random thing I noticed this weekend is that the transmission appears to be leaking from the seam between the main body and the tailshaft housing. Ugh.

If only somebody had just posted a wonderfully documented tailshaft housing install how-to...hmmm could be helpful :)

Rearranged some stuff in the garage and managed to get the Audi back in there! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1437445519 --Ian |
Click on them. They are full DSLR glory. (Or whatever my Dads camera takes.) Its not phone pics.
<br /> <br />God damn it. The image reuploading breaks my links to the high quality pictures. I'll relink everything tonight. |

So do they taste the same? ;)
I've always liked that color, I very nearly painted my Mustang in something similar. Good show sir. |

The paint appears to darken with age, the new car is noticeably lighter than the old one, and the same was true when I had the B6 and the B5 parked next to each other for a couple weeks while selling the B5. --Ian |

No work on the Miata this weekend, family in town. We did wander over to Levi's Stadium for some football though. Real football -- Manchester United won 3-1 over Barcelona. :)
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1437890918 Also popped the dress cover/heat shield off the S6 to take a peek. Awww, cute widdle turbos! http://www.codrus.com/audi/s6/s6-turbos.jpg --Ian |

I want all that thermal shielding material.
Vacuum actuators on the wastegates or something more ...German? |
<p>Is there an intercooler in there somewhere?</p><p> </p>

Zee Germans don't need intercoolers, they have SCIENCE! :giggle:
If I had to guess I'd say A2W, bacuseAudi |
