RE: My A4 1.8T
One of my friends was seriously considering buying that car on ebay. It's real nice, sorry to hear about the piston ring though. Since you are going to be working in the internals, any plans to replace the crank and pistons with stronger ones? Or maybe updated tails? I know you have enough on your plate with the blown piston ring, but its just an idea.

RE: My A4 1.8T
So today I installed a the boost controller just so i could run less boost for now because I just don't want to take any chance with that piston in the shape its in. I also removed those audi decals on the sides. I must say it looks a lot better =) It takes that shotty look away from the car. It REALLY REALLY needs rims though. The Stock 16's with snow tires are gonna have to last but definetly don't look that great.

Stock 16's + Snow Tires + Quattro + ABS = Owned Winter...
I will be getting new rims in the spring most likely.. but being that I live in colorado, 18's and low pro's don't work very well.
It actually snowed today and the audi did AMAZING in the snow.
