Small update :

I redid the timing on the car, cuz when I did the timing belt I was off by 2 teeth. Not enough to do any damage to the valves, thankfully. So I got that corrected (with out removing the whole front of the car, cuz I'm awesome like that) and now all I have to left to do is replace an o-ring on the coolant flange, and put a new chunk of vacuum line in to fix my leak.

I drove the beast around the block about 20 minutes ago, and she hits full boost with no issues, and even sounds pretty damn good. I'm not complaining one bit! lol

So I've been driving the car for about a week now and she's running stronger than ever. Compression is almost spot on at 190 on all cylinders. My single mass flywheel has a slightly different feel to it, but I love it. I definitely noticed that it revs a little easier than before. But that's what happens when you shed rotational mass.

Next step might actually be to get the ECU flashed, cuz I want a little bit more power and I want it right now. lol.

Since I enjoy being obnoxious, I couldn't pass up the chance to pick up a free, but slightly damaged, Imola S4 bumper. There's a kid here in town who is, well, far from knowledgeable who owns a B5 S4, and had a this bumper just hanging out in his back yard. Sadly, he didn't have an extra set of bumper grills or the filler plate, but for the price I won't complain.

Nice Justin, good score. I think the grilles are more $$ than the bumper :beer: Maybe something will pop up on Audizine for you.
