Default Front Mount Intercooler and extras

I won some money at my company x-mas party. About 5g's so I am doing a lot to my car in the next 2 weeks. I already got hooked up with a good place to buy a high flow cat thanks to you guys and would like to know a good place to get a FMIC. I am looking to do catback exhaust w/high flow cat, FMIC, K04 and big injectors. I know where to get most of it but I dont wanna drop a G on a FMIC. I would get one off EGAY but they suspended my Ebay ID when I listed my PS3 (bastards) [:@]anyway what are my alternatives and what else should I do with remaining cash. Thanks for all the help.

5 GRAND!!!!!!!! HOLY MOLY, You better have the sickest audi in the world after this money is spent.... but anyways dont get one off of ebay, I dont have a turbo model so I dont know too much about a good fmic for an audi, but I would suggest getting a reputable one since you have the money. Make sure you get suspension and rims with some of that money as well.. and ko4??? why not bigger if you have the cash... If you spent the money wise than you could have one rediculous whip. Congrats on the winnings and if you dont mind me asking, where do you work??

and ko4??? why not bigger if you have the cash...
because he is tip, and would have to upgrade his TC and VB to handle a load that a BT would put down.. my suggestions would be to do ko4/w GIAC/j31 file, borla exhaust with an Ecode testpipe,injectors, and a racetec FMIC (i would say EvolutionRacewerks FMIC but they won't stop perfecting that bastard and just release it).. get some suspension(coilovers or spring and strut combo) and then use the rest for repairs and all the other little odds and ends.. just start slow with one thing at a time, with these cars that 5K can be soaked up quick..

congrats on the win though

Thanks. By the way how much of a difference will that j31 file make?

a lot! you have to run a FMIC with that file because it is so aggressive.. it runs between 25-28psi...

oh and forgot to mention. get a tip chip. that would definately be worth it (to me at least)

damnnnn, 5g's

the most we could get at work was like 50 bucks and a extra paid day off, haha

but yea, k04 j31, fmic, 2.5 exhaust, injectors, hfc, forge 007, and some nice samco hoses... and you should be set

and if you have anything left over, some nice speakers...or suspension
