Hey guys, new to the forum. I've got an early 05 1.8t fwd. I've had my audi for a while. I haven't done too much to it.. it was base model so i stuck in leather seats from a wrecked audi off ebay, lowered with tein, put some AT italia wheels and powdercoated them a satin black. Blacked out windows. I cut out the resonators and thats about it. Obviously i like to do the cheap ways! I work at STS Turbo and plan on putting a remote mount kit on this summer. One quick question.. anybody have any experience with these HID replacements? these

 

they are a bit cheap.. i understand you wanting to save money, but you would get a gaurantee if you went with someone like visionbulbs.com
along with a discount for audiforum members you can get the kit for 200 bucks

the car looks great so far, just a shame you didnt get quattro

and as far as putting the sts system on, what is the purpous for this on an already turbo charged car ? aside from the killer deal you are probably getting

would you remove the stock turbo ? and run the remote system ?
i wouldnt imagine an engine with a turbo would creat enough constant pressure for another turbo to be run with it ?

 

car looks really nice. did you lower it with the new tein luxuary line that are designed to work with OEM struts?

 

Yeah basically its the deal im getting.. plus im a pretty firm believer in the system after riding in a bunch of the cars and trucks. Thanks for the tip on the lights!

 

i got tein s line which said worked with my stock struts. It rides much better than i thought.. close to stock with no body roll. Best investment on the car. and to the previous, yeah the stock turbo will be removed. sorry i didn't answer that in the first reply.

 

You weren't kidding when you said it was blacked out. Looks really really good.[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

Thanks skunk! Looks like i'll be going with vision bulbs. What temp are a4's with HID? Another question, not sure if i should put it in a new thread. How much hp can the stock internals take?

 

wow! nice! beautifull car man!

 

safe zone for internals is about 300 horses

and the hid;s in audi's are 4300k

 

the car looks sweet.
quesetion about the sts turbo system. y do it when you could just put a bt where the one now is? because that will require lots less piping. and some weigh savings
