I dunno his financial status, either, but I know no one here likes paying so much money a month for a piece of metal, plastic, and rubber. I wasn’t making payments on the WRX - I sold it so I could have two cars. I grabbed the 200 because it was a great deal, and its going to be a snowmobile this winter. I enjoy buying parts/building cars more than I do watching them depreciate in value. From here on out Ill always have a DAILY.

That’s what the S4 is for. The LGT… Well I modded it a bit so it’s becoming less and less of a daily driver. Part of me wants to build it for some series and race it, but who knows. I didn’t mean to offend you in any way by the making payments statement, as I said I don’t know your financial status, I was just giving a reason why most people tend to go with a cheaper car after they sell something nice. ---

Its all good. Ive never had a car that I can just bomb around in and not be dodging cracks in the road/not being able to pull into a driveway. I really got the Audi for winter duty. After im done with school I see myself moving to the west coast where its perfect weather all the time and the roads are mint (arizona/colorado/california etc.) GENERAL LEE AUDI FTW ---

No hesitation and full boost is quick. thats awesome! what are you using for software? is it a 93 program? do u know how much boost it should be running after its all done? when mine was chipped, the shop told me that my ECU is the kind that cant take more than one program and I wanted 3, so they soldered in a diff chip. it didnt sputter relearning though. maybe its with older cars? it started up, rpms went up and down a little and that was it. it runs 14-15psi right now. what were u thinking of getting for a boost gauge? like a VDO? i would recomend the same as mine, for sure. its super nice. install was easy. theres no long lines to run. the sensor is under the hood, then u just run a thin wire to the gauge and connect its power wires. it moves super smooth and the needle doesnt shake or vibrate. edit: i noticed a difference in spooling after the exhaust went on. i dont have precats immediately after the tutrbos, its just a pipe there, so that makes a world of difference. also, when my windows are down i can hear the turbos a bit 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ugly-audi/247784.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ugly-audi/247784.md?page=5)
