perhaps you should learn.. and not buy a modded car
mod it yourself, that way you know how its treated.. and know how to fix it when stuff breaks

$8k to mod a car?????????????????????????? I think Arif spent less than $3k to get damn near 300whp. A stalled turbo is a broken turbo. Saying its "stalled" makes it not sound so bad. I say find a stockish A4 and mod it when you have the money. The learning experience is priceless, and youll appreciate it a lot more.

I think he spent very close to $3k for his entire setup, excluding exhaust and brakes. He can correct me if Im wrong. How are you figuring that a BT setup will cost $8k?

Ive decided to sell my 2000 A4 andd I lookin to buy another one. Does this car look somewhat decent? What problems do you think it could have. Also how much of a problem is it that it has a stalled turbo, how much to fix?

Uhhhhh.. What car??? There's no link or anything?

I should get in touch with Arif if I do do a bt conversion then. To my knowlegde(and this is all approximate) this is the prices ive found.

APR Big Turbo Upgrade with everything ~ $4500
Stage III Clutch w/ flywheel ~ $750
Exaust ~ $1000
Boost Controller ~ $300
FMIC ~ $200
Intake ~ $300?
Big brake if wanted ~$1500

I really do want to mod my own but I just dont have the money
