Jordan is a dealer for EPL, not GIAC. Josh, swing by Imola Motorsport, it just opened in Golden Valley. Kevin Tan (ktan on here) owns it and it is being built out to be a premo place to bring your car for stuff you don't feel like dealing with :) I've been around their shop here and there lending a hand, its nice.

I don't think the K03's go out as easily on the A6, there is much more room than on the S4 letting the turbos last longer :) At most, I'd consider a chip, maybe exhaust, but its gonna get expensive really fast after that. Intercoolers don't help a bunch on the K03's, but are vital if you go K04 or bigger. It sucks the K04 is 'the' upgrade to get...they're $2200 for a pair and once you push 20psi through them they're maxxed. RS6 turbos are a little over $3k but will do 420whp on pump gas and blow that auto tranny to smitherenes!

Anyways, like I said....chip, maybe exhaust....keep it comfy and simple ;) I love those cars, very good mix of comfort with a little sport and power. Great DD.

Ouch, I thought $1300 for my FP turbos was a bit steep. You get what you pay for.

My bad, it is EPL, I don't have access to MNAUDI from home and I was actually looking at chips so GIAC popped into my head.

I wouldn't mind checking out Kevin's shop at some point in time. Wasn't he working with Mo for awhile at Elite before it moved?

I've seen the k04's for a bit cheaper, but not much :(. Like I said, don't really want to chip it unless a really good deal comes along. Just can't the $500 they are for a bit more boost and some fuel/timing tweaks. I'd rather put the money into better brakes or suspension.

Kevin was using elite as a space to do work on cars for a while, now he has his own gig :)

You'd be surprised how damn torquey those things get with a chip, its kinda detarded :)

I'd like to hear your impression/experience after 6-12 months(if you still have it).

Do they have Audi's in Zimbabwe? :aikido:

I will probably still have it, I'll update this thread.

Congrats Swanny on the new whip!!! Although I only give you a year or so till you throw in some massive turbos, chip the piss out of it, and regain your Death Shake again. lol "You'll be back, sooner or later they all come back to the Diamond's"

I found a camera.

Car needs some modifications to the outside, but it is a good start.
