Default Doing the timing belt

Anyone know of cheaper kits? Blauparts and ECS look good. Also, what all should I change? I'd like to keep costs down, and I dont think I need the accessory belts, those are good condition, as is the TB. Better to change now?

Had radiator/condensor damage thats why I'm changing. Also changing out the A/C compressor, anyone know of a place to rebuild, rather than buying new or already rebuilt. Maybe someone I could see my broken one to who will rebuild and sell?

Also need a new core support. I could try to find a used one online, no junkyards have them around here. Anywhere I could get a good deal?

Finally, what else should I do while I'm in there. Water pump, thermostat, changing all vacuum lines, snub mount, radiator, A/C Condensor and Compressor, spark plugs, what else? Catch can? Whats a good setup and where does it mount?


Thanks in advance, I ask a lot of questions I know. I just need these parts to be on their way so i can get back to enjoying my audi.

I didn't check pricing on this but Above All Motorwerks has been pretty cheap for parts I've ordered. I find they beat ECS and other online dealers sometimes and other times they don't. I believe they have a warehouse in SoCal and I've found shipping to me in San Diego has only taken a day or two. Plus, the guys there are extremely helpful.
