so everyone always asks about stuff from ebay, and as far as i recall, no one has one on their b5 a4... here are pix of my ebay tp and fmic

hope you enjoy


please forgive the bumper, i will be getting a s4 one soon


here are the new pix as promised:


custom made thrust sensor bung:

ebay test pipe:

apr turbo inlet pipe:



here is a crapy video of the tp with magnaflow and apr 91 octane, i put the 91, cause i am not 93

and ask kyle.... there is a difference on the 1.8 at least

What did you have to take apart to be able to install it?

 

you can get to it by removing the airbox and pulling the passanger side wheel


but since my nuts were rusted on, i had a shop take off my rusty nuts

yes someone can make that their sig..... and insert all the jokes you want


plus it was at the shop getting the ic pipes welded.... so it didn't cost much to do

 

how do you like that APR hose?

 

i think it helps hold boost more.... but was a pita to get on the airbox...... i never thought i would get it on


it defenatly is more sturdy

 

where did you buy the APR hose? ive seen several for $150 or so but it seems like its a lot for that hose. does it come with the clamps and everything?

would i be able to hook up a cone filter or a mushroom style filter to that hose? does the MAF go right into the end of it? do you have pics of it with the air box top off? id like to see it if possible. im kind of skeptical but i want to do something other then swiss cheese my air box and fender liner because i live in iowa. plus that carbonio just makes me wanna throw up.

thanks!

 

i got it off purems, when i bought my tb/wp......


i was ready to get my car back together, and i shoved the madd in there, and it fits nicely..... so that won't be a problem, right now i con't have any pix like that

and yes it comes with everything

i would look into purems for it

 

I'm glad you got your FMIC installed, it looks great. Get a better video of your testpipe/exhaust setup though!

 

I was going to ask how much a difference the tp made, but I guess it's hard to determine due to the upgrade on the intercooler as well. I'm looking to buy the same test pipe off ebay as well. How well made does it look to you? Good welds? thick walls? any info appreciated. I want one, but I'm worried about it cracking from poor construction when I go BT.

 

Testpipes make a difference, definitely a worthwhile investment.
