That front bar is a monster! On an awd car, shouldn't the rear be the same size or close to it? Audi's might be different with how far forward they like their engines....
Evos dog leg in slow sharp turns without stiffer suspension, and from the factory cars are designed to understeer and not oversteer.

Holy crap nice! Glad you're abiding by the 2-week rule for the cruise ;) Looks like an easy install though, good work.

Haha I figured there was no tuning or fluids to spill and leak out, so the 2 week rule could be altered to two days. :P lol

The front bar was cake, the rear bar took some effort to try and remove without dropping the entire exhaust. Had to pry it out of there like a puzzle.

You have to install both bars with the car on the ground, so that made things trickier.

Well ive been having part throttle drivability and boost loss issues at high RPM during long pulls, so I did some research and bought a PCV revamp kit.

It eliminates some of the emissions and puts a cap on the intake manifold for the PCV piping going to a stock plastic contraption that usually leaks.

Before with the old parts sitting removed:

After:

It fixed my low drivability issues, as well as made the car feel alot stronger in the low end. So I eliminated a few leaks that way, but the high RPM boost issue is still there. So Ill be picking this up tonight:

Def looks cleaner! But you cant see it anyway because the engine cover sheilds all that. haha

I dunno if Ill find a buyer easily with the mods. Id probably take all those parts off though, and sell them on owdee forums to gain money back. Cant sell the chip though.
