    hey guys, not really sure how to explain this but keeping it short and simple when you slam the gas pedal to the floor the rpms fly up and the car goes no where. Any ideas?
    and it doesnt get any more broad than that its literally what happens. You can hear the turbos spool the exhaust get mad loud, traction control i tried both on and off, it just takes the rpms up and doesnt give the car any power thanks
    SOLVED, new clutch went in and feels great. Much better with moving into gears.


    OTHER PROBLEM needs to be solved:
    Not sure if its normal or not but my car isnt really spooling when cold. When its warm it pulls hard but doesnt do the same when its cold, like not even close, i feel like the motor is running without the turbos. I do have an oil leak and coolant leak, very small ones, and not sure if that may be part of the problem but giving you all the information i have. When the top end was rebuilt the turbos seemed to be in GREAT sheap. Literally no shaft play whats so ever so i dont think the turbos are going just yet. Any ideas? Thanks again
    SOLVED, n75 valve needed to be changed

    Definitely should have gone with a beefier clutch than the RS4 if you are thinking about going stage 3...

    i know no worries, its not happening any time soon. I am a full time college student working a full time and part time job so i dont have to pay loans. Im graduating this year so afterwards ill have more time to do the install and money to back it up

    thats really funny that you say that because i literally just replaced mine. The bearing was bad in mine. But its a quick and easy fix! So you have an s4 and a mk2 huh? Im building an mk1 right now, just got it back from paint and its mint. My little brothers car actually and he also drives the white scirocco with the rs' on them. What color is your s4 and link me to the mk2 i wanna see it
