Jim,

I am certain that is not it.  I was very careful, followed diagrams and
tested the operation.  Also it kind of verified itself the way it would
blow off any hoses not clamped tightly in the relief side of the valve when
I'd be on a hard run and shift - I had some minor embarrassing moments in
traffic as I'd get under the car and find the section that blew.

I probably got a lot of gawkers commenting on those POS AUDIs always
breaking down.

Of course, I will double check.  I'll also post pics soon.  I just have
been somewhat reluctant to do any writup or posting without the "success" I
was expecting.

Although I am proud of my thouroughness, at this point I'd be tickled to
have someone point out something silly or even stupid that I may have
missed.

Ben
