My volcano RS2 Avant

[Avantus]

Noo idea, got the invoice in front of me, and the first owner had them put on in 2005.
It states that the owner supplied the lenses, so no clue where they came from.

total was a whopping 367.50 GBP, done by Audi Whetstone.

Would prefer to have none, but I guess it's safer, and the shape is kinda Porsche-like, matches the mirrors
Rather those than the square common ones.

Yes they are from a Astra Mk4/G. I've had them on another one of my cars but hadn't thought to fit them to the 80!

[Avantus]

My 322mm brake discs are near their end, and I've got 2 good 330mm discs laying around.

Would they fit with using stock callipers/pads, and normal 17" RS2 rims?

thanks in advance!

[Avantus]

My fault, they are 322's allright, the boxes for transport said 330 but those are from other discs lol.

They are however in one piece, do I need to worry?..

Time for a little update:

Decided to do a little upgrade, so here's what got changed:

- K26/27 hybrid upgrade with superb help and advise from Hoffer76 (and Prj for convincing me , as Hoffer initially already did, last minute not to do a normal 7200 hybrid )
- Wagner EVO manifold with service from Carsten
- EV14 injectors with all the correct seals and connectors (thanks Prj!)
- Loba Bosch 044 pump kit

Installation of the hybrid turbo went perfect, and the oil and water feedlines only needed very slight bending to clear the inlet. All the rest also went without problems... only minor problem now is that the 044 pump provided by Loba doesn't have a check valve on it, meaning I have to keep cranking untill it builds pressure. If anyone knows the part nr. for the correct check valve, please let me know since I can't really find anything.

Prj provided me with a basic and safe run-in map, which is already a little bit stronger than the previous setup. Extra lag is about 150rpm in 6th gear on the autobahn, but it all feels very supple off boost, and very "free" at higher revs. I can't wait for the real magic to happen soon hopefully
He's been a great help so far

the good stuff...





massive clearance between wagner and turbo

You faked my keychain!

Can't wait to feel the power

I would advise replacing those injector tops on the ev14 for the finjector ones

No need, as he is running spacers, which prevent happening what happened to you.

[Avantus]

I drilled out the 2 holes from the fuelrail a few mm's, so that it all fitted nicely and sits pretty tight. Unless the bolts loosen I don't think it could start leaking.

K27/26 trend there!!

we know the results so definitely enjoy!

That's what happened to me with those spacers, one of the bolts stripped which could happen to anyone.

Most ev14 users have gone over to the finjector tops, it's a small price for a bit of extra security.

You should use loctite for "extra security" if you are so worried and use good quality bolts.
The fuel rail coming loose is not good at all.

Also Jamo, I was talking about the black spacers that are on the lower part of the injector, which allow them to sit really tight. Look closer.

what is advantage of evo manifold over the rs2?
