Car is almost finished

I got KW clubsports with linear swift springs, poly urethane engine and transmission mounts, 42 DD catch can, EGR delete, might opt for a 3.91 diff when we test drive the car, full car triple layer paint + paint protection and I discovered that i had a 2 psi boost leak and a problem with the brakes like I stated earlier indeed, there was boost leak inside the brake servo due to the wrong install of the ESS supercharger by my mechanic making me loose proper ABS function and power brakes, the fact that I modulated brakes meant almost no braking power.

After putting the car on the scanner I had a ton of DSC codes, ABS errors and such.
Even after brake bleeding, all kinds of shit got out, especially from the rear lines.

Glad everything is being solved piece by piece.

damn hood cost 2500$ to get here

great news buddy!! great news!!

Maybe it's time to look for a more capable mechanic?!? (or do it yourself?)
Regularly (and properly) bleeding brakes is really basic stuff

Although I think that the brake/dsc codes issue might be a result of the crash.
If you have a 2psi leak towards your vacuum that means you'd have no vacuum at all, and that's something you would notice the minute you'd drive out of your garage; not at the moment you'd make an emergency brake....
So what you're suggesting doesn't sound plausible to me at all.

I have a boost leak into the atmosphere and the boost leaking into the brake servo is intermittent so it can not always be spotted. Sometimes i feel brakes are weak sometimes i felt they were strong.

Knowing that i didn't drive the car more than 500 km between the supercharger install and the crash i didnt get to build a case on whats happening to the car.

Just to clarify one thing for your next posts guidok, if you come here to bash and disprove theories, i'm not interested in your or anyone else's bullshit as this is for my friends who have z4M cars like beedub for example.

Ps: i got vorshlag camber caster plates as well

If you're not interested in discussions that may rule out factoids, you shouldn't post your stories on a forum......

Whether you agree or not, forums are also a gathering place for friends, especially this forum. I gave you an explanation for your previous factoid in all cases.

today is paint day , they're using this paint brand called ICI, they say it's very good and on par with glasurit the OEM paint, not cheap at all if anyone's concerned :P

Yes, you said "Sometimes i feel brakes are weak sometimes i felt they were strong."
Why or how is not clarified.
Nor whether it's kind of unresponsible to go out on the public road, knowing(as it turns out) your brakes are not working correctly for that matter (that's the only way I can interpret your statements).

All it matters now is that OP and rest of the public are safe. OP's car is fixed better than new and he is back to enjoying it. OP got a valuable lesson in car control and knowing his car's limit.

Man I don't know what to say to make you understand that I'm posting in here to make myself feel better and share news with multiple friends, how about:

"We're crazy like that over here ..."
or
"Oh, I didn't know that I should check my brakes, my last silver car never had these problems"
or maybe this
"If i promise that I never do that again, will you leave me in peace?"


I don't need advise on what to do with my car, please understand. no offense.

At the end of the day, Tikamak ws not hurt, his car is properly repaired, and because he had the stones to tell us all about this, we ALL have a reminder of the need to be careful and to expect unusual road conditions that can affect a car's handling.

I'm happy that this worked out for you Tikamak, and I wish you safe motoring in the coming months and years.

Cheers!
