That's pretty nice and not too expensive considering it's a show and go upgrade (looks and power).
What kind of power ups are we talking though?
Let us know how the install is and show us some more pics!

From what the guy said there is 0% heatsoak unlike other intakes and its modified for more airflow through it. So im expecting maaaybe 5hp im not really looking for power out of it i just want the dv sound brought out and turbo sound as well. I think its going to sound awesome but well see.

RE: Looky at what i just ordered!
I just got it two days ago and ive been running around havent posted anything on it. Its pretty much the same thing as giac. Raised rev limitor to 7000k even instead of 7100 top speed governer is raised. A/F ratios to match the raised boost pressure as well as ignition timing and alll that he did some other stuff to the chip because i have a 3 inch downpipe and straight thru exhaust i dunno im no expert on chipping but he said on 93 oct ill be at 207hp/ 238ft lbs.

Yeah you can feel it its pretty much what i expected. I had a quattro that was chipped i guess thats why im not all excited about it anymore im still trying to get the new audi to where my old one was. But yeah you can def tell and feel and hear the difference. It feels alittle quicker under load that when i get my quattro done. I guess because its only a 15% loss on the drivetrain but its fun. Just not enough for me.
