I had them laying around but they were about 1" tall, so I cut them down to that size with the dremel. I've been too busy to get over to Grainger or Olander, or I guess just Lowes to find something off the shelf that will work so far, but when I find the right part to go there I will post a part number. I need to get a shorter, stainless or plated screw to go in there too.
Checked the oil Sat and it was a quart low, so the leak is pretty significant. Topped it off after that and this morning taking it in to Mann I got a big puff of white smoke again, but no boost warning light. Hoping it is not something serious, but it sounds like the oil lines to the turbo might be leaking.

Got car back and good thing is, it isn't the turbo. Bad thing is, parts were special order to repair it. So I will have to take it easy until next week. PCV gaskets are basically old so it is leaking oil, which likes to drip right onto the up pipe. The PCV hoses were also borderline about to crack, so they ordered everything and will replace all of them at the same time with silicone ones. So it is good, but I have to baby it around for now and keep an eye on the oil because it went through a quart of oil in about 2 weeks like this. Couple hundred instead of a couple grand.
Having them throw this guy on too while it is in there though

^Nice!
Hmmm I may want to look at those gaskets as well. And I KNOW that my hoses (at least a couple) are basically rock hard. How much were was the silicone set?
thats sweet. I could really use one of those haha. Where/how much did you get it?

Unfortunately, one of the hoses that WASN'T included in that kit decided to leak right after those got replaced so I had to get that fixed too, late Friday.

I wonder what it would look like if the colors were flipped on the fog covers. Black where the silver is and silver where the black is. Make it connect to that black plastic piece in the middle grill opening.
Side note. I had a few problems with perrin endlinks. LOL! Whiteline mo beta.

I originally got the idea since they sell black ones, but then there's a member on here who just sprayed theirs all black too and I saw him in SJ. With them all black it looks OK too, but kind of just looks Audi like too, like they are big openings. I figured if I didn't like it with the strip at the top, I could just paint the whole thing after, but I kinda like them that way.
