Happened about 2 hours ago. Only took Jeff 2.5 days to figure it out

I do already miss my "ultimate AF member" tag

haha...well, since you are a mod I guess you could give it to me

good stuff tho, for the last couple months I kept askin myself why you weren't already a "turbo certified" Mod, or something along those lines

I figured that was a pretty new title, good stuff

Well the A4 I just bought has 65k miles but I doubt the previous owner took care of it so I'm expecting it to go out within 15k. My A6 has 122k on stock k03's and tuned at 75k. And everyone questions 2.7's reliability but that machi has been deriven hard for 2 years and not one hiccup. As for my A4 which is 2 1/2 weeks of ownership n I've had a boatload of problems. Still love it tho.

I think if I was the original owner I would still be on original turbo...damn previous owners not knowing how to let their **** cool off[:@]

audi should start installing turbo timers as a factory option

dude, I got my upper control arms today, I also have a set of tie-rod ends, but I think mine are still good....oh well

so u down for a sunday install?...what are you up to on sat?....or maybe friday night?

May as well install it all while we're in there. I'm pretty sure I'll be up at my grampas on saturday, I think friday night would work actually. Lets do it friday, I'll come over when I get off out of school.
