tranny is back in, car is on the ground shod with 2.7T S4 replica wheels on loan (Thanks Tom!). Headed to the alignment shop tomorrow morning then I'll be building a harness for some boost controllers which I suppose I'll tune on my way up to Canada!
Oh, and it turns out the B4 90 dash swap is COMPLETELY plug and play. The round brown power plug from the car harness attaches right up to the wiring for the new dash. woot!

or you had a bad fan?
No problems so far. I haven't run the fan very long but seems fine thus far.

Took the last two days off from work to get the car ready for the track this weekend at Mont Tremblant with the audi club.
Car out of the garage for the first time in a few weeks on the way to the alignment shop:
I was able to liberate the airbag from its faceplate in order to make a very nice big space to place the ECU:
All packed up, ready to roll tomorrow!

How out of alignment was the front tire anyways?
Also, decided to skip the carbon faceplate?

like 3 degrees of toe!
The carbon faceplate for the B4 dash on the passenger side is different than the one on the B3 dash.. so if I want one on there I'll need to make one.

No wonder it was so worn out
I have fall break in two weekishisis, if you still have the CF pieces I sent up I can cut them to the B3/B4 faceplates and de-marr them.
