Either way, if the car is breathing better through an aftermarket intake, you definately won't have more lag...

Off topic much?

I have to do the same thing, as one of them has gone bad. Should I go ahead and replace all 4 while I'm there?

I have one I need to replace, and when I was asking around, I was told I might as well replace all 4, because the tendency is once one goes, they all go. Of course, that's a lot more expensive, so I'm going to replace the one for now and see what happens...

Missing cover for the coil packs...

Thanks for the thread... I have an 04 Audi and noticed that I don't have the covers which are held in place by the allen screws. Obviously they were not replaced when I had the coil packs replaced or they were lost with the previous owner. Anybody know when I can get new covers with the allen screws?

if youre talking about the coils, you do not need to replace all of them. autozone has the coilds for 60 bucks a pop

if you are talking about plugs, theyre cheap anyway replace them all.
