There are a lot of front mount kits for your car as well as DIY fmic's as well. Make sure you know what your needs and future mod plans are as you could end up replacing an expensive fmic because you did not plan right the first time.

A few companies of hand:

Racetec
Evolution Racewerks
GReddy

Just depends on who you know. Most of the people I know and that post on other forums run Racetec or ER.

But godspeed is another good choice. As for the ebay one, a lot of people do it but I would not.

i hope your NOTthinking about bolting one on right off the bat, dont think thats how it works, you need to do several other mods for a front mount to work on an A4

chip, exhaust, dv, and a boost gauge should be your first mods. are you planning on going with a big turbo setup anytime soon?

keep the stock turbo, wasting that kind of money on a 97 is silly to put it nicely.
