APR bipipes vs Throttle body boot?
Owning my 2001 a6 2.7T AWD Q tiptronic for 2 weeks I am ready for mods....
The first upgrade I already know i am getting is the APR ECU.....
( http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/e...ade_a627t.html)
Second upgrade I know I am going to get Hyperboost CORE Diverter Valve....
( http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/h...o-p-46240.html)
My third mod option is vary hard for me... I have called APR talked with two different people and still can't make my mind up between these two products. I am wondering if the extra 200 dollars for the bipipes would be worth the upgrade ( http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/bipipe.html).. and that is where i turn to you guys... Is it worth the 200 dollars over the Samco Throttle Body Boot ( http://www.avalonmotorsports.com/ind...roducts_id=171) ? Please help me out I am looking to do all these mods in a week after I come back from a business trip.
Thanks so much,
P.S. I am in love with audis now haha

Wammy18 - Looks like we are both looking at similar upgrades. I just bought an 03 A6 2.7T Tip about a week ago, so let me know how everything works out for you. That will def help me decide on which brands to go with and who to contact.
Thanks!
Thanks!

RE: APR bipipes vs Throttle body boot?
In my reading about the TBB, it seems that the aftermarket boot is bigger than the stock boot. Does the front engine cover still fit when using the VAST TBB?
(BTW, I have an appointment at 12 noon to get my APR ECU update. I simply cannot wait!)
