2) Noise coming from engine bay/cat when the accelerator is fairly pressed in... it gets louder when im around 5-10psi and starts going away one i pass 10-17pi... it sounds like when your blow into a fan... ( im thinking maybe i got an exhaust leak or the cat has a leak?)

Just got that fixed... it was a small leak comin from the flex pipe... driving home from work this mornin (work overnights) under hard acceleration my car suddenly sounded like it was straight piped... the whole flex pipe and sleeve broke off... paid 150 bucks to fix it... FML but at least its not my turbo lol... not yet at least...

next inline to fix is all control arms... problably going to buy the kit from FCP... and while i fix that im going to have my Tein SS coilovers installed... and I need to buy a brake kit with rotters and pads... theirs starting to make noise... and im problably going to buy 2 wheelbearings for the front...

any one know of a good deal from a brake kit?


thanks people

ECSTuning.com recently had the A8 brake kit on sale. It may still be and if not you could ask if they'd give you the sale price. Even at regular price, for the money, it's a steal. Hands down that's the kit to get. It rocks.

Get those A8 brakes - best bang for the buck you'll find.
