Default RE: What to do with 1k?

I can order something online I guess...

I'll probably just stop here:

HIDs, Tint (in california its 70% front, anything back... how much to i have to hold to that?), REVO Chip and which DV that has the best price/performance ratio (staying decently cheap)

$200 (not included in 1k, already bought these)
$160
$500

I will try the 5 hour chip trial. Seems like a good idea.

For switching the ecu software back to stock, is there any tool I need? (anything else to buy?)

Also, would a boost gauge be something good for me to invest in? It seems really cool... thats the 16 year old talking right there

yea, im suprised no one has mentioned a boost gauge.. that should always be one of the first things, and no its not just the 16 year old talking, it can be great for diagnosing a boost leak, which could cause premature turbo failure.

can you point me in the direction of a good gauge/DV? I guess I will have the REVO dealer install both.

ok I thought we were done being dicks, but I guess not.

You think I'm bad? My friend has a NEW G35 coupe...doesn't pay **** for it.

I baby mine because I know how lucky I am and I actually appreciate it. I work hard in school and at work so I can make some money to make my car (and my brothers....) mine.

Oh dont feel bad. I still get **** and I am 20 with a 1997 A4. My roomate is 19 with an 2000 A6 and they are both modded. Just keep working hard, modding your car and then when you are their age, buy a brand new S4

is the neuspeed chip that much worse than the APR, GIAC, or REVO? (for the $200 increase?)
yes, your car will explode. seriously.

and that **** about "they wont void your warranty because ours is less agressive" in the first post is complete BS.

your warranty wont be void either way. you would have to be a complete jackass to the audi team for any warranty to be void.

Your car is perfect and save it for maintenance. Audi's aren't cheap to fix. =)
