Picked up some good replacement k03 turbos since my fins are chewed up. They have almost no shaft play so I’ll just throw them on. They’ll clean up nicely. Old valve cover gaskets had TONS of silicone (facepalm). I fixed that. I love the smell of fresh gaskets. I got the auto-tragic trans back in the donor along with the subframe that had to be dropped. My friend also grabbed the front brakes for his B6 😎. Some 30v action. (5 valves per cylinder glory) Cleaned, prepped, and painted driver side VC today, and cured it in the oven! Passenger is removed and cleaned, but it was too cold tonight to paint it. Also gapped sparkplugs to .028” and installed all six. I decided I liked the blue enough to keep it after testing on something else.
Tonight I painted and baked the passenger side valve cover. Hopefully the difference in temperature and dry time don’t affect the color match/quality too much. The old turbos are also removed, and the lines on both sides have been cleaned.
Oh and I pulled the power steering line I need from the donor and put the front wheels back on the B5 and put the whole thing down (off the jackstands).
