The wiring's finally done, just tidying things up:

A little snag - the central plastic engine cover Paul (my client) ordered is off an earlier car, so the "V8" section is broader than mine, and fouls the expansion tank:



Will be carefully trimmed tomorrow.

Picture showing the 1,8T airbox, with forward facing intake, where it would normally go to the turbocharger's cold side:



Will be replaced with a V6 item, as I'm loath to fit an induction kit. The ignition amplifiers and evap. purge valve can then be mounted on the upper cover. The S8's MAF sits within the airbox, pretty much like an AEB, but I'll be fitting it in a conventional manner, in series with the throttle body and airbox.

Both catalysts fitted - it involved removing the subframe, grinding off the I4 left-hand tranny mount, and welding in a regular V6 item. The V6 item allows the V6 bracket to be used, and is on a lower level, same as the right-hand side.

The raised I4 set-up doesn't allow a catalyst / down pipe to fit, as the distance between the floow and bracket's way too tight. Catalysts now fit perfectly, just need to fab up a Y-piece to link both catalysts to the 2.5" single Milltek.

Pictures will be up later.

This seems to be a trend of Sienas on Audi forums. Thought I would post it here as I nearly had work done from Siena and I would hate to see anyone else ripped of.

Just read the thread too - not good. Really glad we have people like Ben at AVP and that nobody here went to Delta.
I reckon Ben should start selling performance parts too: looking at these threads, there's a big market for fast Audis.
