well, since my car already has a fmic, atp exhaust mani, HFC, DP, exhaust, upgraded clutch, intake, apr TIP, GIAC pc16 file etc...

all i figure ill need to buy is :
1)http://www.ctsturbo.com/products/B5_...Kit-236-1.html
=$1400

2) the bt upgrade for my ecu = ~$200

3) injectors ~$200

4) maf and other random stuff ~$200
Yeah, if you already have that stuff, I guess going BT would be pretty easy, but if you're going to go with an Elim, I'd get a GT2871R Elim... it's not that much more expensive, but a lot more power. That's what I plan on doing anyway... It's an upgrade on that link you posted...

i dont think its really much of an upgrade in power to tell you the truth... according to mike hood atleast pretty much all elims and even the NON elim version of the gt28xx series will have the same track times. actually he posted a video where the elim cas faster than the other two non elim cars! so i think it will have enough power for me (i have never owned a fast car so i am sure i will be happy)

and even if it does throw down a lot more power, i wouldnt want that because i would be afraid about rods.

who knows though, for only an extra $95 i can upgrade to that... maybe worth a try?

^ I know at the end you'll keep wanting more and more.

That's always the case.

Mike suggested to me the 2871 with full exhaust manifold to I can upgrade even more in the future, but I think I'm going to go with the elim because it's cheaper, and looks stock...

ok heres a little update. went to the audi dealer, grabbed 3 of those little lights ($6.00 a copy! wtf audi now i see they are $.79 online HA!) whatever, gauges look nice again! took a couple pics of the interior (used to be the tan color, but was swapped out with black it seems, looks cool though)

i also decided to hook up my old amp and a sub my friend gave me... it sounds fking awesome, REALLY surprised how deep it hits and loud. (i am makign a custom box for the little cubby on the left side of the trubk and am moving the amp somehwere else, probably attached to the rear deck top

sorry for a ton of pics, just getting all the interior out of the way.
