New update, Bits for my daily Audi A4 B5 1.8Tq and something that has happened to W201 as well

So i blew the exhaust on Audi... sick stuff..

^look at the way it broke completely off the turbo flange.. HUUUUGE back pressure to make that happen.. so what caused that?

well that is the "emission control"... catalytic converter looked like this..


After while i was strugling to get that exhaust off the car...



I had enough considering i was planning to redo the exhaust on my vacation... soo...



Aaaaand off to work...

New catalysator and downpipe...

And new exhaust up until the rear muffler.. using the spring "clamps?" what i made before..



AAAAnd W201 stuffs

One front wheel was leaking, so i had to reseal it.


M50 Intake cam modified to fit as exhaust cam


Engine prettymuch done, cams in, cams timed, missing couple bolts and its there. next up is to mount this engine (after clutch test) and start wiring engine.


One last test fit with spare block and head.


Disassembly


Everything out.


And how it sits
