You're doing the Lord's work saving this V10. Kind of makes me want to suffer through fixing one myself. 😁

Those are nice looking cars! It'd be really cool to see what this can do fixed up at 15 yrs old Edit: Should try to talk to the car wizard. He might know some parts from cheaper cars that fit

As a former used Audi owner, I feel your pain. It was a humbling experience! Instantly started following your channel to see this beast back on the road 👍

I know the pain of cheap Audi’s. Glad to see you got it back together. I’m currently replacing a piston in a 2012 Q7 . I hope I can get it back together😂

I've owned an 09' Audi D3 S8 & the D3 A8L, as well 3 of the 3rd generation Escalade. Sounds like you have similar taste in rides 👊 Do miss the V10 sounds. Do yourself a favor & delete the heavy ass suitcase of a muffler. You'll love driving it 10x more, promise you! Out of the 100+ vehicles I've owned, the D3 S8 got the most compliments & started the most conversations. Even had the same color & CF trim package as yours... Don't sell it, you will regret it. Closest thing I've owned to a "super car"

The mufflers were deleted by a previous owner. I need to make a legitimate x pipe system for it.

I had a 2007 Audi S8. It was the most reliable car I've owned. Just oil changes and brakes. B&o was awesome. Gallardo brakes were very expensive. So sad it got totalled by getting t bone by semi. I walked away. I have a couple videos on my channel. I wired the exhaust baffles open to make it sound like a Lamborghini lol

being a personal owner of this car, I finally realized I have a lot of work ahead of me, I have the 2009 Audi s8, The car was previously used as an undercover police car in Miami, so I'm pretty sure it was probably beaten like crazy, watching your first clip and last clip of the Audi running, made me quickly realize I definitely have to service everything you just did because my Audi s8 right now runs the same way as the first clip, I was thinking maybe the high pressure fuel pumps were causing the lack in power, but this just confirmed what I need to do in order to restore that hidden v10 power you just brought to the light, being a bmw technician, I know for a fact this car is gonna bust my balls, but here goes to the project of building a twin turbo v10 s8 lol, thanks for the video Stapleton, you definitely earned my sub from me. cheers mate, and good work.

I loved my d3 a8 for the week I owned it. I was at the auction at the end of the week and my buddy encouraged me to get the s8 so I did. I earned a nickname of hooters breaking the power steering fuse doing doughnuts in the hooters parking lot on my birthday. I sold it later… actually was the same color 07 as yours. Years later I bought a d3 a8L that I love. I did ghost links, brakes, big wheels and a rear muffler delete. I recommend it on the s8 cause it’s the perfect sound. You’re going to be addicted to this thing cause they are lovable cars

Watching now. Good to see this format back.

So cool to see you tearing into that V-10 felt like we were in the zone with you, especially when you were rebuilding the clips foe the injectors! I was watching you on tv so had to grab the phone, hopefully that adds to the views, probably not but were here for you! V-10 in Logans car or the Rolls!! Hmmm Thanks again!

im a b7 a4 owner, these cars are a labor of love lol,, keep them nice and up to date on oil and all of the little things that they are known for and they will go forever, and audis are just so fun to drive, so all the aggravation of fixing them goes away when you drive it ..

Im excited to see this build. literally just started shopping for one of these. I hear allot of the work on these is engine out :/ so kinda scares me Curious to see your experience on this 🍻

I got one, black :) I bought with orange light shining in dashboard, went home, figured it was one injector fault and I realized why the dude sold it, it is pain in the ass to change. after fixing injector and cleaned cabon, the engine started working like a rocket :))))

Nice work man, I keep thinking of a 05-07 S6 to replace my 05 3.0 TDI A4 but seeing that mess lol

Hi Mitchell, can definitely relate to giving my Audi 2L Turbo a bootful occasionally. Not in the same sound league as your V10, but .........big smiles.

Own a S6 with the same engine. Full engine out, custom manifolds/exhaust. It is a beast to drive.

Thank you for the Audi comedy. Most of us have done this on the 4.2; this video proves that the 5.2 is just 2 more of everything. Kudos for doing the injectors - prices for them have gone crazy. You do this because it’s a solid engine. I wouldn’t have messed with the intake manifold. Leaks in the intake plastic components from cracked or missing parts are normal- most people can’t bill for the time to fix their mistakes. Audi’s are fun to work on - there’s a stamped part number on everything. What’s not to like? Great video. Thank you.

I'd have probably done the same thing as you did and then be pissed at myself for knowing better. I bought an 87 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, I loved the car, except for the fact that 2 months after we got it (private owner btw) we started having to take it to the dealer to have it fixed, computer mgnt. control issues, then a month later, something else... and the dealer visits were all things I couldn't fix on my own, and every time, it was over $1000 to fix it, and after 3 visits, that was it for me, went to a Pontiac dealer and bought a Grand Prix. That was a good car with no issues at all. You get what you pay for. But that T-Bird was a LEMON !

nice work dude , huge acceleration difference

I have a 2007 S6 and I've been through just about all this. My car was not torn apart like yours was but I had to chase down multiple stupid issues that is just part of the deal of owning the car. Get the JHM transmission tune if you haven't already. To me the TCU tune did a lot more to wake up the car than the ECU tune did.

amazing job mate. I am in NZ and still have to do this already leaking at only 90000km. Very good instructions but I probably go to put the bumper in service mode now I seen what issues you ran in with no service position regarding turning the engine and access to all those sensitive connectors.

Would be awsome if you guys just went live when you start working on the NASCAR with a camera pointing at the build while you guys are doing your thing. Great channel!

I personally prefer the older audi's over the newer or rear timing chain motors from 97 to 2004 they seem pretty good

I’ve learned through the years no matter what car or truck you get used you’re going to have to fix something that someone has jerry rigged no matter what the price is. And if they won’t let you test drive it walk away it will have more problems than you got money to fix.

I have a b9 s5 that has the 3.0 v6 turbo engine there is just something nice about audis always puts a smile on my face when i drive it

It’s like my girlfriends 2.0t might as well just save time pull the engine tear it all down and put it back together the right way. I tried the fixing stuff right once and it still wasn’t right so now I get to do it all anyways.

C’mon man!!!!!! Your on the home stretch now!!!!!! After all the work you just sis, this engine is going to run like no other! Should be a night and day difference😂🎉
