umm... its pretty much self explanatory... now ive never done one on an audi, but ive done many on dsm's, wrx's, etc...

its probably the easiest DIY outside of putting on an intake or debadging your rear, lol...

look under your hood, locate the stock DV, unbolt the bolts that are holding it on, take off the hose going to the intake, bolt the new one in place, and connect the hose back to the intake...

its pretty self explanatory, just make sure you put the new one on nice and tight so you dont have a nasty boost leak

Dude you have to jack the car up, take the skid plate off and then rplace it from underneath the car, if you don't have a lift it's kinda hard to do..

It's real easy....
1. Jack up the passenger side of the car and take off the skid plate.
2. Loosen the hose clamps and twist the dv side to side (to break the seal)while pulling it off the hose.
3. Replace the hose clamps and press the new dv into hoses. Tighten the clamps and replace the skid plate.

Never get under a car that is supported by a jack. Use a ramp or a stand.
