Now I ain't gona say that doesn't look great, because it does. I just like anything that isn't the norm, different ideas, how many people run 7a's on 20vt heads? Whether its standard, polished or painted with god dam red crinkle paint, each to their own! And I hope cab9fab continues to shave away more material from anywhere he can because less is always most definately moreOriginally posted by UrS4boy View PostSee, I always wondered what it would look like without the ribs and now I know. Hate it.
IMO the ribs look great, especially when given something to make them pop, like this:

To be honest Dave I'm not sure...the kit was on the car when I brought it...Originally posted by UrS4boy View PostMike: Correct me if I wrong but I think the rubber boots on the 4 pin coil pack connectors in your photo are 4A0906102A "grommet"
I do have the receipt from the previous owner for the kit, so I'll check...

Very nice work on the machining. Have you tried the coils onto an engine yet? They dont look like they will sit down far enough to me?Originally posted by cab9fab View PostFor my URQ project, this angle (30 deg) will work on a 7A cover as well...
Machined...and kept very snug for OEM fit
...and shaved...for cleanliness
...a model based on the 7A cover used to set feature dimensions/clearances and set up the CNC programming...

Not fired it up, but the position was determined with the coils engaged onto the plugs with no cover to determine height from the head's upper sealing surface. Then the coils and things were modeled in SW, to get an idea of if there was enough material to even do it this way.Originally posted by G60Rallye View Post
It was close, but should work as is or with a bit more tweaking. They are engaged now, but the boots are snug enough that it is tough to feel any detent engagement down at the plug.
I don't believe this would work with anything but the tall 2.0t/2.5 coils; the 1.8t would require boring deeper, and there isn't much material left to do so, as shown in the cross-section above.Comment

Not wanting to tread on your toes as you have done a very thorough job with it, but did you measure it up with a gasket under the cam cover?
I had to machine a slice off the side of the round piece to let the coils sit down fully. My coils dont have the rubber boots on them so you could feel they wern't fully down.

Hmm...that is strange. I've measured and accounted for the gasket, which is roughly 3mm (prob. closer to 2.5mm torqued down). Can't say I've never made a mistake though...
And you've used the longer VAG coils? I see they are red and obviously sit lower than mine. I'll need to double check some things, I suppose.
<edit> I can only assume that the example above is using the shorter VAG coil packs, which are 14mm shorter than the ones on current models, and the ones I've chosen for my build. Here is another example of them on a cover that is nearly the same as 7A...
I've double checked mine as well and can confirm that they are also the correct height...
Anyway, carry on...Comment

Pnanassy also had to do the same as g60rallyeComment

They were 60 Euro each back in 2008 during Audi fire sale.
I bought one... should have bought 10.

Interesting. The "tell" is the direction of the (Audi) logo. This is a 7A cam cover (Sport Q cam cover under the 7A photo):Originally posted by Wolfgang View Post

coil pack conversion
This is my set up at the moment ... could you tell me what coild packs you are using with the red outline around them as they are the ones im needing to make my coils sit flush in my top cover rs4 coils are they?

This what I am currently running, the taller 115E 4.2L V8 coilpacks (no trimming required)Originally posted by betterwith4 View PostThis is my set up at the moment ... could you tell me what coild packs you are using with the red outline around them as they are the ones im needing to make my coils sit flush in my top cover rs4 coils are they?
This what they look like in place. (Note: In 2013 I got a good deal on 5 coil packs and a "professional" harness (Apikol or 034) so I abandoned my original 2005 prototype harness that was still working fine (just ugly) and installed the professionally done harness).
