it is true
in order for your audi to run you have to throw massive amounts of money into it.... anyways i have this problem, an electrical problem. my car is getting no power basically i had it on a charger and i started it tried to give it gas and nothing happened, it idled pretty rough, then it started sputtering and my abs check engine ect ect lights came on, i could put it into 1st and reverse to move it a little bit but i had no throttle control if i floored it NOTHING happened. wtf help
if you have a 2.8 its alot harder to make poewr for it then the 1.8ts but it can be done... and yea audis are fuckn money pits... u need to get it scan'd and post up the codes and im not a big fan of k and n with our cars especaily on my 1.8t that pre oil' filter killed my maf sensor
when i found out there were virtually no parts to make the 2.8 go fast (without that $3000 supercharger) i almost lost it... that is all i wanted to do to it was make it fast and sound awesome... and i have came to terms that it will never be really fast. but its still pretty fast i guess
That's the passenger side cam sensor (which is the easy one to change). Not sure about the processor fault. First thing to do is clear the codes and see if they come back. If not, they were glitches or transient faults. If they come back, they'll have to be dealt with.
I'm all for mods, trust me. I mean, I bought a set of wheels before I even bought replacement parts to get my car running again. But you really need to make sure you know your priorities. I'm not trying to get on your case, just dropping some advice off. You sound like you're more anxious to get the exhaust on the car than you are about getting the car running right and running well. Trust me man, spend the extra time, the extra cash and the extra Blood Sweat and Tears to get that baby perfect. Otherwise you'll be back under the hood. These cars are german, they expect the best. 
But when you do get that work done, go slap that exhaust on a post up some vids!
