Perhaps I'll hook it back up then. I have a jeep I can drive most of the time but sometimes I'll have to drive the Audi. Oil lines were replaced 25k ago by previous owner (he replaced literally everything, very rich dude). I just figure it will be better to go ahead and replace the turbo and get the tune/fpr/maf/injectors in a month or two.

I'd just buy everything at once. If you have a jeep, I'd park the audi until you have the bare minimum to install the frankenturbo. Just start it up everyweek for a few minutes

I make minimum wage lol, it could be a little bit until I can afford a $600 tune and $200 injectors while saving enough for college. The jeep isn't mine, and the owner (my step-dad) doesn't exactly like me using it for some odd reason. I'll figure out something to do

Just out of curiosity, why would you say I should wait? The franken will act like a k03 until I throw in everything else

I say that because you will get into boost, inadvertently at the least. As long as you aren't really on throttle, it will work out.

Ya...cart pusher at a local grocery store, stupid companies thinking teenagers don't need money.
And I have a boost valve mbc that I can set up in parallel to eliminate over boosting, and I don't drive a 1/4 mile at a time anyway, but Ill be extra careful not to hit it hard.

I'd say you are good till next time. Before that, though, look for another job. Minimum wage is for teenage mothers.
