No matter which Uni dealer you deal with the ECU must go to Uni for the BT tune, this means the customer must ship it to Uni or the dealer has to ship it. Price of the BT tune includes the price of shipping back from Uni.

**** if it were in quebec i could just drive up there and get it tuned. I live right in Maine. Ive got a 2000 a4 quattro. Its an ATW. Just for future reference. I sent pagparts an email a few minutes ago so ill see what he can do for a price on the tune, i also asked him about injectors and a fuel pump, maybe he'll give me a deal on all 3. So i was definately thinking of a full 3" exhaust, no cat, but i will have the 02 sensors in so its looks as close to stock as possible. Which isnt very possible but thats ok... Is that too big or am i ok there? Also im not worried about what MAF sensor i have to use as im going to have the exhaust shop who does my exhaust help me fab up the TIP. Whats good to use as a resonator. I've heard of people using glass packs, does this work? Also where can i find a muffler with a freaking 3 in. inlet? Havent been able to find one except for fart cans... Id like the nicest deep tone possible. Dont want that high pitched honda sound.

3" is what you want.

Glass packs die fast, just get a long one from a repitable muffer company. Also you can get a nice magnaflow or borla with a 3" in/out, just make sure its a strait through and not a chambered for best results. With these you will be far from a fart can

So go with a muffler and just go with a 3 in. pipe from there to the back. Id like to have somewhat of a nice tip ya know? Like i've seen some nice magnaflow exhausts with nice dual tips but they were only 2.5" inlets at the most. Ill have to keep looking around. Truthfully though, i dont really care what the outside looks like. As long as it sounds good and has some major *****. I wouldnt mind actually keeping the outside stock and making it a sleeper, maybe a little bit of a drop and some rims. Thats it. no paint or body kit, stock bumpers. Everyone puts drops and puts rims on their cars, doesnt mean their throwin out 350 awhp though lol.

You want a 3" piping from the turbo all the way to the rear. If you want a nice tip, go to Jegs or Summit and pick one out, it doesnt have to be on the muffler.

Yeah. Also for when i connect my turbo to the manifold and then go to connect the wastegate. Am i going to have a custom pipe fabbed up with two flanges on it so i can connect the wastegate to the turbo and then to the manifold or does someone premake these somewhere?

your exhaust manifold has the flange and tube for the wastegate and a seperate flange for the turbo... you will be running an "external wastegate"

If you go with an external wastegate, you definitely won't be a sleeper. I kind of like the sound of an open wastegate on some cars tho.

Is is that loud? I dont really care though. I just want the horsepower basically. But im defiantely going to keep the outside of the car basically stock. Also in looking at manifolds i see that there is one from ATP for a 20v 1.8t. Will this fit my car? Also in speaking with arnold from pagparts he offers a manifold with an elbow to clear a mount. Will the manifold from atp clear this mount with the turbo on it? Also i know ill need a vband adapter. Instead of using the clamp associated with this can i weld right to the adapter? Or is that not a good idea. Im definately going with the external wastegate. Is the "dump tube" the tube that connects from the manifold to the wastegate?
