Yeah, but the W8 use the same kind of transmission as a 5cyl, I don't know if the W12 uses it too...

i bet it does....these cars are like legos. only vag motor that has a different pattern is the vr6.

delring control arms, aluminum subframe mounts, 80dur track diff mounts. already have the 80dur on the trans. koni adj's with eibach coils... should be hell of a ride

Good idea, I did it on my URS4, much more reliable...


I would be interested to see a W8 swap in an older Audi...

might be kinda sweet....

noob saying what?

what's a vac booster?

generally most cars have power brakes. Most brake boosters run off vacuum from the intake manifold with a one way check valve. bigger trucks and early audi's(i am sure there are other oems doing this) used the power steering pump pressure to act for power brakes with a mini 90bar nitrogen tank. The advantages of hydro assist is it always works...meaning under boost you can left foot brake and keep your right on the throttle to build boost going into corners. this way when you let off the brake...boost takes you for a ride out of the corner. audi turbo racing 101 . vac power brakes in boost do not work since the one way check valve keeps boost pressure out of the vacuum booster preventing damage.

brake master spacer - cq hydro booster - urs4 hydro booster - 80q vac booster


in this pic you can see the round 90bar "brake bomb"

oh ya, ditched the abs and hydro brake assist. converting over to vac booster. less to deal with and easier to setup traction/launch control with standalone

That video was great, and I can't wait to hear this thing revving out.
Like Needinganaudi said I would also love to do this to my b5! That would be wonderful.
Keep up the good work! Throw some itb's on there!

ITB's would be great...i have been looking in to that and some spray ....but also boost... its all a toss up. looking to rev out to 7500 then move to 8-8,250. should be fun
