Default So, we have decided that the ESCtuning 30v ultimate kit is the best right??.....

Cause it has everything that my little heart desires. I should prolly wait to start before I open up the front of the car to make sure I get all the right parts. Gotta pick up some G-12 too. Anyone ever buy one of their pulleys? prolly just a waste for my sunday driver.Oh, Im ordering a snub mount too, I figure everything will take 5-7 to get here. Any comments, forewarnings, last requests?

Default A comment or two...

ECS's kit is very good, but stipulate the Geba(OEM) pump in the kit , not a Graf. Graf's castings are not always exact and that can lead to real headaches. If your keeping the car for the long term, think about replacing the serp belt tensioners and motor mounts while your there. Its far easier then when you have access.
Comment on the snub mount, make sure you loosen all 3 mounting bolts(rad side) and let the engine settle before tightening them, this will get rid of the vibration at idle that some people get.
Set some time aside, the job takes awhile.

Default THNX- I have some xtra loot I can put into it, should I spring for the S4 mounts I hear about?...

Also can I get a Geba pump from ecs? By letting the engine settle you mean run it for a bit before closing it all up?

Default definelty pick up a snub mount. s4 mounts are the 2.8 mounts

If your mounts are still good there's really no reason to change them. The rs4 mounts are stiffer then the s4/2.8 ones.

My kit from ECS was great. No complaints. The snub mount is essential as well!
