I’ll let you slide on this due to the nature of the OT 😉 Gone like stick doesn’t even come close to describing these motors. I’ve built ALOT of five cylinder turbo motors for people across the country. RS2 clones, Audi Quattro Sport rebuilds and clones, Audi 5000 T sleepers, rally cars up north(crazy cannucks!!!) 20vT I5’s are big boost powerhouses. Talking ~40lbs+ shit at 800+whp. Dalhbach uses this motor DESTROKED to 2.1L at ~40lbs of boost from a customer made KKK spool and at one point in time made over 1100whp at ~ 9,800RPM is his Uber Golf. Detuned now down to about 900whp but now swings out to about 10,500rpm. Search Dalhbach Golf on youtube. Enjoy… ---

Jason’s leaks came from a retard previous owner, he didnt get a chance to drive it til the seals blew. Mine were just tired from years of street and then track abuse. My RMS has been leaking since last spring. ---

My RMS has been leaking since last spring. :nono Only leak I ever had was with that dipstick tube. The RMS was slightly leaking but not enough to warrant my time to pull everything, it was still my daily driver at the time. Car looks amazing btw. ---

LOL, you, mr nice guy, who never says a bad word about anyone, calls someone a retard in a thread to which the previous owner, from Santa Cruz, just happens to be in! Thats just funny as hell… classic :haha Funny. But in reality, yea, damn near every seal on that S52 is/was leaking. I ended up replacing the RMS, RMS housing seal, transmission input seal, double oring’ed the dispstick tube. Less not forget all the missing bolts from the TB, oilpan, manifold, etc that I had to source and refit. Between the underside of Jay’s and Jesse’s M3’s you’d think I had an exxon crude refinery in the driveway. Ahhhh the joys of german car ownership… Clark sorry I missed you at the house tonight. Had to make an emergency run out and ended up leaving my wallet at the shop tonight anyway so I didn’t have the $$ on me as is. I’ll be at the shop tomorrow starting early AM if you want to stop by and check out the car, as well as get some money back in your wallet there ;D ---

hahaha it’s cool guys I’ve heard it’s easier to replace the whole rear main cover as one piece. The seal is already pressed in it and it’s only like $100, vs the seal alone is ~$20 but then you need to pull the old one and press the new one in. Depends on what your time is worth and what tools you got I guess =P Damn I didn’t know there were so many things missing on that car =/ my bad. The car looks like a beast now. Keep the rubber side down.
