Well, add me to the list of Stage 3 allroaders. It's done!
Got the full meal deal installed on the daddywagon over the past few weeks, with many thanks to you all for your advice and suggestions. Took the 'ol girl into the shop for K04s, EPL fueling, 034 motor/tranny/snub mounts, RS4 clutch and HP2 brakes, and while I was in there had them do the timing belt service, all the hoses, gaskets and seals that needed tending, etc. Worked up a full EPL tune that builds to about 22-23 lbs of boost.
Was done a week ago last Weds, and took it to the track two days later (after as much driving as possible to break in the clutch)! Popped a couple hoses, namely the brake booster hose (which I guess is fairly common) and the throttle body boot, which I just replaced with a kevlar-wrapped unit courtesy of trg.
Then last night, I got the exhaust installed -- sounds fantastic! Same system as trg's... will have to race him to see who can get a sound clip up first :-)
I have tons of photos of all steps of the installation, but here's the most recent (exhaust and boost gauge):

Like the boost gauge setup - details?
Three questions:
- What's the pod you're using to seat in the vent cutout?
- How did you secure it?
- How did you route your line through the firewall?
