John @ AWE was nice enough to give mr the ITG panel filter instead of the free pedal set:-D

So far so good, just some minor adjustments of the DP rattling against the cross member.

What's the best way to get it free from the down pipe?

LPS74

That was a tip from another AW member. But my car only has 20k miles so all the bolts were in pretty good shape.

Please keep us posted on how you like the kit, I am interested in getting it too (when it becomes available for the 2002's).

I have had the GT28rs for about 40,000 miles and ran with stk exhaust manifold, Nuespeeds manifold, (which cracked) and now using ATP's. With larger injectors and a lot more boost, (I'm running 24 psi) stk exhaust manifold really doesn't handle extra exhaust to the turbo well. It develops "scavaging" within.
I assume your have a FMIC or DSMIC. Increasing boost and timing and then doing your data logs will wake up this system. So many send software that is too mild for car and they need to be adjusted.

Very nice, such a sweet kit!

Noticed the studs for the turbine housing to manifold joint, ATP has had much grief using bolts.

Since I had my 02 b6. Been bugging Mike at AWE when it's gonna come out and was told that this kit is gonna be in stages but all modular. Acording to AWE, for this kit the stock exhaust mani is enough.

So far so good. Engine fired right up no cel/check engine light. Just got the DP adjusted for fitment and I will be out enjoying this kit today;-D
