I am new to the Audi word but not to tuner cars, I have traded my 97GST for this Avant wagon, I know the second owner that has had a majority of the work done. Well i got it running very poorly and not wanting to move only pushing 10lbs of boost. Car was bored and stroked by MTM. Previos owner installed a front mount intercooler. I installed a kO4 turbo and had it tuned at ECS Tunning here in ohio and currently it is running 25lbs of boost putting out 333hp.... Car was pushed in the front and a goofy muffler installed, i have the exhaust fixed but still needs some more love but all and all the car is great.

Mod List
Engine Stroked and Bored to a 2.0
Front Mount Intercooler
Test pipe
Tinted Windows
Manual Boost Control
H&R coil over
Aftermarket Black Projector Headlights
Pink HIDs
RS4 grille

 

Slap the previous owner for the front mount and the exhaust. >_<

 

haha i plan on re-doing it all but right now the funds are not there, i have the car sitting in the garage getting the turbo re-built it started to burn oil out of the exhaust, the guy that owned it right before me was a total tool... He put the wrong plugs in it, messed with the intercooler, pushed it with a truck, put that tacky a** muffler on, cut the rear bumper to make the muffler fit, Just beat the car into the ground and im trying to bring it back to life....

 

x2!!!

PO was obviously blind, those are horrible installs

 

Nice numbers. 333 awhp or bhp? Good thing you can drive really fast everywhere so no one sees that exhaust! Some aesthetic adjustments and you could have a super bad-*** avant. Congrats on the acquisition!

 

The exhaust is some what fixed, But yeah it is AWHP :-)

I'm glad you're trying to save this one! MTM is a rare car, do it justice!

 

i try to save a lot of cars..... I hate seeing beautiful cars destroyed.... Just she is a little expensive, Only other thing is that the car is Auto :-(... Any of you guys re-built a KO4 before???

 

With a 2.0, I'd skip the K04 completely and go bigger. Hopefully when the current issues are sorted (exhaust, FMIC, door decals), and funds free up, we'll hear about a 3076r install

 

Oh, and talk to member Meloman about the manual conversion - he did it on his car and it turned out very nicely.
