if you cant afford it, i wouldnt do it yet. swapping ECU’s can be an issue. depending on the model, because later ones had the immobilizer that you have to program out. my 98 wasnt one that had that, so when i did it i bought a complete ecu for it and just swapped it, then sold it when i sold the car. ---

Few pics of the naudi. I recently bought a mint set of s4 wood trim off audizine (pics up soon) & in the mail is a new silicon throttle body hose. old 1 is just dirty & I can see a few cracks. Once that’s in, I’m unsure what i’ll do. right now it’s looking like the plan is drive her til next summer & maybe upgrade to a urs6? :dunno ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/yup017.jpg](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/yup017.jpg) ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/yup016.jpg](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/yup016.jpg) ---

Well after 164k, I’m pretty sure my original k03 is shot. So before I’m back to school at good old HVCC, the Naudi is getting overhauled. I picked up a slightly used k03 locally the other day as well as a hfc (sick of that check engine light from the tp). I also have new hid fogs (3k) & new hid headlights (6k) coming from DDM Tuning thanks to some jack wagon who stole my hid fogs in crossgates parking lot. The other thing that is coming for the Naudi is a full Samco silicone intercooler piping kit. And to top off the overhaul, I have an APR chipped ECU coming in the mail. Next weekend (19-20) she’s getting blown apart. Hoping to get 15 psi out of her. I’ll post pics of the tear down & rebuild for sure. Can’t wait to have her running like a top. :excited ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/newk03.jpg](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/newk03.jpg) New to me k03. 60k on it, barely any shaft play. Hopefully better than the current 1. ---

its likely. before ripping it apart, you should check the boost requested/actual measuring block with a vag-com will tell ya whats going on. either the N75 is shot or the WGA is no good. even with a bad actuator my A4 would make 2-3psi just from being so small and so responsive ---
