That's very kind of you. It truly means a lot when I'm able to get these wonderful comments from great fellow enthusiasts like yourself. Should have a few more things for the gen 1 soon.
Thanks for taking the time to film. I really like your slow and methodical explanations on why your doing what your doing. This will be a great asset when I goto install my kit tonight. Looking forward to your HPFP rebuild video. I'm having a tough time deciding to rebuild or upgrage or simply replace the whole HPFP unit, as I won't go beyond APR stage 3.
Josh thank you so very much. On this video I tried to be helpful but not too wordy. Get to the point but make it detailed enough that you knew how to go about it. I'll be honest this low pressure line upgrade is the single biggest bang for the dollar. I WOULD never now that I know even stage 2 an S8 or RS7 without it. I'll be getting the HPFP video out here shortly. I'll add a bit more commentary to that in hopes of helping more there.
This will be a super popular video. I personally just can’t bring myself to run lines like this. I’d much prefer an upgraded factory-style setup. My teen will drive my car and I don’t want any increased fire risk.
When it's all finished the fuel lines overlap the OEM path.. So other then perhaps the argument for conversion to AN fuel fittings. I didn't see an argument for any increase in fire risk over the OEM lines. While the cross over line that's in the front of the motor isn't under the oil separator. There's nothing outside the normal pathway other than that. Given the huge improvement and safety to the motor with the increased fuel supply and lower demand on the LPFP. I'd suggest taking a second look at what you see as a fire risk and see if it's really that, (keep in mind your replacing rubber OEM lines in some spots with much stronger lines with the kit) as I agree it's smart to think twice about anything fuel or line related but I find it hard to justify calling this a increased fire risk to any degree. To help add a bit more perspective. The JHM turbo oil filter lines sit less than an inch away from the manifolds and there's not even a hint of heat stress sitting right there on it after several years. So obviously each individual needs to set the standards for their beliefs. My .02 is thinking this might be an increased fire risk is a bit unfounded given the quality of available components out there and how the fuel line path way is run there's no scenarios where the fuel lines could ever come into contact or be in a situation they're compromised. This was a JHM Fuel line kit and it's fitment was very specific and built to what seemed to be close tolerances that with the quality of the fuel lines adds to my end conclusion. I can't speak for all kits. So yes there's a chance other kits might be built in a way that's more subject to concern. As always buyer beware. If it's of any value. I put this kit on about 8 months ago on both cars (ZERO ISSUES) I tend to drive the car hard when I drive it. My buddy drives his RS7 like he stole it and the A8 is my wifes car that my teen daughter drives (with me or the wife) and my wife drives our 4 children in one of them a still a baby..... ANYWAYS.. Thanks for the watch thanks for the comments and thanks for your feedback.
I wonder what the issue is for this with Audi. This is the same issue with the 3.0T when wanting to us E85. All fuel system related. However, this is a great informational video.
Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words. If I had to really give it thought. I think our plans for the fuel system go beyond Audi's requirement as stock they both (3.0T and 4.0T) seem to be good enough
I look forward to more 4.0T content from you! Your videos are thorough, informative, and truly DIY friendly! 👍
