RE: What to do with 1k?
OK, you're also going to need a new dv. Get a nice one, around a100 or so.
Drop in panel k&n filter - 50
Change up to some nice ceramic pads, save the ones on there now for if you ever need to switch back to stock, like selling it or turning in lease vehicle - another 100.
I'd honestly invest the other 250 towards a better chip. The dealer doesn't have to know........
If you dont want to do that though, another 50 or so for a decent boost guage.
Spend another 100 on a decent code reader, or toward a vag-com and cable.
Take the last hundred, buy 2 cases of oil, and four Mann oilfilters.
There ya go, see how easy it is to burn through a grand????

I have 1k to spend on my '05 1.8t a4 (certified, so don't want to mess around that much...and I only have 1k) Plus, I'm 16.
It is silver, has black leather, and the "spoiler."
Right now, I am thinking about doing a tint ($160 quoted) and a chip ($299 quote from neuspeed. Yes, I read that this isnt the best, but they are the cheapest by far for me and the dealership said neuspeed is the only company that wont void the certification because it is the least agressive)
So, that is about $500. What else should I do with the remaining $500? Any suggestions? I don't even know what I could do with that little
EDIT: oh yeah, the HIDs are on the way

how are you judging me when you don't even know me?

As long as you truly know how lucky you are, its cool.
He's not "judging you", just humor at your expense.
