76mm Europipe installed, along with a few maintenance items-

Plugs
02 sensors
Water pump
Thermostat
Few coolant hoses
4 coolant fittings pinned (that were accessible with the motor in the car)

The Europipe sounds great, very deep tone, bit of turbo spool sound.

I painted my second caliper today. I have been doing them one at a time due to not having enough time to do all four at once, and will say that you can get great results with the pelican system. My first caliper did not come out as well as I had hoped but the second is perfect, I would say its probably a 9 out of 10 where as the fist is a 7 or 8. The trick is thin coats.

-update finished them all and overall am satisfied with the refreshed look. I screwed up one of the decals as it's a bit crooked and I didn't have any extras. Make sure you are laying sideways it's much easier to get the decal centered. For some reason my rear calipers turned out better. Now my wife wants me to paint the touaregs brembo's.

My car has been in the shop for some upgrades, fixes, and preventative maintenance. Here is the list in no particular order:

Coolant pipe fix
Expansion tank
Water pump
Check valves (I thought there was only one, but there are two)
Oil pressure sending unit
Metal turbo oil feed lines checked
Waste gate vacuum lines
5 bar fuel pressure regulator
Clutch kit
Slave cylinder (found it was leaking a bit with the engine removal)
Pressure accumulator
Spark plugs
Water hoses
Fuel filter
Air filter
Crankshaft seal
Boost pressure test
Wastegate adjust
Endless brake fluid
Coolant
Throttle body seal
Precision Porsche GT2 deck lid (wing painted matte black)
GT2 deck lid wiring harness
Transponder

Pulls like a freight train again. The shop owner had fun with "test" drives.

So after all this, no more thoughts about blowing a coolant fitting at the track.
