dont get that ebay dv. looks cheap and fake, never heard of a bosch made from billet and with adjustable springs. get a real one. forge, apr, baileys, etc...yes you can run a BOV, 004 is my personal recommendation, and yes that ecu will work for your car.

actually its 400 for the b5's, but that's just the chip, not the ECU you gotta solder it onto, so both for 475 is a good deal

yeah, unless you wana start misfiring and having to buy new coilpacks for way more expensive than spark plugs.

you have 2 choices- get a regapping tool from autozone, it $1 and a child could use it. or get some f6dtc's and you never have to regap them
