PSA : Audi's Aluminum crush washers are junk ! Copper is best for Turbo banjo bolts
Just finished reassembling my B5 with big fat juicy Turbo's - this time I used all copper washers (I got cheap from ECS) on the banjo bolts instead of the Audi OE Alum crap. After assembly and torquing I heat-cycled with a torch as usual, and yet I did not have to re-tighten a single one.
Ran the beast for an hour and still perfect.
Copper is better. Lesson learned.
