Hell that's a hell of a way to spend your free time. That's it for the union breaks though or I'll send Hiwords back here.

I'm looking at pulling one of these swaps with a 2001 A4 Quattro. How easy is this to do really?

FINALLY!!!!!! ok now i want a snow drift video. it looks like you have to flip the radiator upside down. how does it feel? any bad vibrations? the car sounds like pure muscle. it's just waiting to scream at anybody who gives it a weird look lol.

yeah the outlets have to be on the passenger side, and it actually works out ok... the drain valve is up top now so i used it to bleed the system lol... and as far as vibrations, everything is perfect... keep in mind... that video was only at like 20% throttle

only 20%? your neighbors probably have their phone in their hands waiting for you to floor it so they can call the cops on you lol. it's still straight pipped right? you should do an electronic exhaust dump at 30% throttle and put a muffler on lol. oh and you have to change your sig. you want to do another swap? i have an offer on the table for an 04 A8L engine will everything for 900 bux. i'd buy it but i don't have the skills to fab the mounts like you do. so what's next for that monster? you should completely the monster with a couple of SC sticking out of the hood lol
