I did a c/v boot last fall, it was kinda a pain but i eventually finished. Took me about 2 days. I need my control arms done too.

But i know how ya feel about things not feeling rightabout the car,i think everyone does.Thats why i usually baby mycar, im too scared of breaking something.
lol can I get an amen! nothing like sitting with your car telling her how much you love her, letting her cool down while everyone else walks away etc(turbo timer would be awesome!), its an all love relationship, everyone must be understanding! you scratch her back shell most def scratch yours...oh and nothing like wasting half a tank in 1 days time...goodbye 20 bux

Jeff - how hard do you think it would be to do those valves?I think it would make a big difference the 2.7t. And about the TB,we canwork something out if your up for the job.

Trapped - Haha, its a love hate relationship with these cars. Theyrea pain but so much fun! If you find anything new on the N75's and MBC's
you might do some reaserch, but i think it is down next to the turbo like it is on the 1.8t, and if that is the case, you know what it takes to upgrade turbos right

Yeah I am aware, pulling engine and upgrading the torque converter. I won't do this for a while, but the money is already being saved. I hear it costs about $8000 to do the full stage 3 upgrade. I plan on doing it when the turbo's blow anyway or whenever I get bored.

Blackjac - yeah a turbo timer would be a big help for us,ha! Although i baby her most of the time, there are those days where i do burn 1/2 tank of gas, those days make it all worth while.

Jeff - I think ill wait on the N75..

Jeff-I have been wanting a 6mt for a while now... I have so many thoughts of changing my car. I really want the 2002+ because of the front grill that you can change to the Rs6 grill, but then again the 4.2 can look awsome with Rs6 upgrades. I want to keep the 2.7t because of the options to mod, but really if I could find a 2004 s-line (only come it tip...) or an 02+ 6mt I would be set, but right now they are just too much $$$$

you trade your a6 in for that.... and sell off all the upgrades... tunnning, you could easily get 350-450 out of it, and 710, 30-40 a side... drop in, 15 bucks... 00022(priceless).... more mods to go on 1.8t
