Default Thanks for getting all the parts to me, still need to do the RS4 fuel pump, not sure

when I will get to that. From what I've been told there is no rush.

Install went really well, actually the hardest things were getting the accordian hose to fit between the MAF Housing and the Y-Pipe

And freeing my stock theroswitch (not related to the kit of course). Damn thing was stuck in there.

Default We could list these instances but it would take up the entire forum

Too much of that actually. Can understand sometimes but when people take someones money (business transaction right?!) then can't get their ego's out of the way to solve the problem, that's a huge issue.

Fine it's the car, now refund me all my god damn money, since you sold me **** and I have proven time and time again that it's not the components. However I did go out of my way and spent an extra $500.00 replacing everything that you said would be the cause of your crappy code/kit making my car run like ***.

Default I'm in the Irvine area too....Haven't really met local S4'ers since I haven't had my car for months

BUT,

I have it back now and it'd be cool to meet more local ppl.

I'll post a full car update one Monday.

Default I give up.. what brand of software did you have?

So you had upgrade software with stock turbos? Believe me, after I spend $6k+ on power upgrades I will have no problem stating the company's name and exact problems I have. I'm still deciding between single program AWE stage 3 kit and APR. The reason I'm still considering AWE is because their custom AMM replaces the troublesome '00 bosch unit. With APR I would probably never use the stock software setting but the 100 octane setting would be nice.
thanks

Default We met when you brought your car to my house, KentL came over as well and

we took a look at your car. I think you had a cracked exhaust manifold.

Glad your car is back, hopefully it stays that way for awhile.
