Also, to put back oil and cooler lines - is it just torquing them down again and nothing else is needed? Will you buy new clamps for ones you cut?

Good Questions.

1) No one makes replacement wastegate arms/valves for the S63 Turbos. Turbo Lab America has been working with another company and my turbos to prototype a wastegate arm fix. They said it would take another month, which I don't have so Austin is going to fabricate a fix using a S63TU Arm and a different valve since it will fit. I should have them next week and be able to start the install the following weekend.

2) I looked up and ordered all the possible gaskets/O-rings that I will need on realoem.com and also ordered some extra bolts in case I loose a couple in the process. I will have a list when I complete the install DIY.

3) I have replacement crush washers for the oil lines and plan on simply hand torqueing the difficult to reach ones. There are a few companies that make special tiny torque wrenches, but the cost is significant.

4) Several hoses will require new clamps. I plan on using generic hose clamps that I already have on hand to replace them instead of the stock style clamps.
