Eric… thanks again for the good eyes on the Audi forums! The car is all stock, never chipped and timing belt just done. Just put four tires on the car. > > Lee… thanks… and haha, the car is made for the weather. that junk in the garage is TT and RWD… so it has a little more amusment when throwing parts at it… at least for now. 🙂 > > and i think i said “i’d rather walk than drive a BMW”… but at the time they had no manual twin turbo models. No problem. Glad to help. Indeed, the 135i seems like a better place to start considering it has 300hp vs. 250hp for the stock B5 S4. I’ve lost touch with the 3.0L TT BMW motor so how does the chip tuning look these days? Power? Turbo reliability? ---

If you don’t mind what do one of these usually run $ wise. Wanted to pick on up but am having trouble finding what I want without a \*\*\*\* load of miles. Plus I am way way to fed up with dealerships anymore. Would like to pick on up when I come home in early Feb. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-winter-beater/200727.md?page=1)
