It's all good Fae, just some typical MT ribbing. Relax brother, you have come a long way with the work you have done on your car, you just digress once in a while. Remember, you can only only have 2 of the 3; cheap, fast, reliable. Fast and reliable cost $$$ no way around it.

I concur. Cheap then has to be substituted for "fab skills and fab tools", "knowledge", "time". As is proven on this forum, if you can weld, you can make your own manifolds, exhaust, IC piping. That plus ebay intercooler + used turbo + injectors + fuel pump + MS + rubber not AN hoses = sweet turbo rig for around $2000 unless you weld like a horse.

wait what's wrong with the DIY/mcmaster ball/spring MBC? FM sold them at one point. I just screwed one together but haven't installed it yet.
Links I got from brain:

I drilled a tiny bleeder hole into the 90deg bend, didn't see that mentioned in the above links. Like JimB! muhaha

Thoughts?

Special announcement:
I'm going to track my car this summer.
15x9 6UL will be in the mail next week
I snoozed and loosed. RS3 are sold out nationwide. Considering full tread Toyo RA1 instead.
I'm undecided about the BBK. 949 11" kit or TSE 11.75" kit? 4 pot or 6 pot?
Will do all the ducting stuff sometime prior to track fun.

I'm sure they don't make much money if any off the calipers anyways, so I'm sure you could email him and ask for $250 off the 11.75" kit and then give summit racing $500 for the 6 pots, if that's what you really desire.
P.S. keep in mind pad price as well, I haven't looked it up, but I'd imagine they're more expensive and harder to find than the equivalent 4 pot pad. 4 pot pads can be found easily just about anywhere, FM, Goodwin, TSE, summit, etc. It's an incredibly common caliper.
