guess i just have to wait n see for sure when this guy can start to take shiet apart wednesday

 

Don't bother re-building them, put in a larger (more reliable) set of K04's in it that you can get for around 2k for both. You can also get a hell of a lot more power out of these turbos with the correct tuning if you wanted to.
Since you HAVE to pull the entire engine to get them out (30 hours of labor) you might as well throw in a set of better turbos if you catch my drift.

There are lots of sites that sells K04's, www.ecstuning.com being one of them. Shop around you might find some for cheaper.

I would still clean out the PCV system first, maybe do an engine flush during the next oil change/ timing belt replacement and see what happens first.

 

the engine has to come out to get to the turbos... cant juss cget to them from underneath the car... and if i were to upgrade to the ko4's what else would i need to upgrade... juss a chip... or more

 

Yes you have to pull the motor, no other way to get to them.
You can just run the K04's without any other supporting mods, the stock engine management will adapt. Im just saying if you wanted to a new ECM with a set of injectors could push you over 400 horse power.

 

wow so 2k+ juss for parts how much would it cost to pull da motor n swap the turbos? n juss outta curiosity how long have you been working on audis... you must be pretty good at doing all this stuff yourself huh... I wish i could do the work myself..

 

Its about 30 hours of labor to swap em out, so it depends on what the shop labor is. I would go to a good euro shop that usually has a labor rate of $90 an hour. My old shop charges $135 an hour which is mucho too much.

I've been tinkering with audis for about 5 years, and iwas a master mechanic for about 3 years.

 

so you would be able to do this yourself if it were your car.... wow thats gonna be like 5k for an upgrade then .... i would juss be worried after all the the valve gasket or head gasket n a bunch of otha shiet would f$%# up hahaha

 

I really doubt its the headgasket, im positive the valve cover gaskets and cam seals are leaking, cause they always do. Like i said, before doing anything expensive take care of the necessities first: Timing belt, water pump, thermostat, valve cover gaskets, and cam seals, which is already gonna set you back a couplea grand.

 

ok well thanks for your help it was good to talk to someone who really knows their stuff... ill get it done this week hopefully and ill repost my progress... THANKS AGAIN
