You would think, and that is ultimately the goal of this summer, but there is more to come beyond this

Dude, how much do you spend a month bribing the HOA? It must exceed your parts budget!

I think I get away with it because no one lives across the street from me, and my neighbors on both sides are very cool. There's also more of my people around here than one would expect There are three houses on my block with project cars in the garage, and one national champion autocrosser. Then there are a handful of kids with Evo's, STI's M3's and and a 1M in the hood as well. I seem to be the only Audi asshole though :dur:

Well I dropped the car off at the body shop today. This is the first time I have left in the hands of someone else in over 10 years. It's going to be OK, it's going to be OK..

fingers crossed

You either didn't leave the keys, or programmed in a limp mode?

Did the body shop guy look like this???



"...You fellas have nothin' to worry about...I'm a professional..."

He looked just like that guy, but with curly hair! Greg, there were measures taken to limit power. The car actually has no turbo at the moment

no turbo really kills teh I5 fun factor by about a 9.7on the sphincter scale

I saw a pic of the 'neutered' comet LOL I might be able to actually beat it right now ;o]

LOL, it is pathetic.

Pic?

It's far too private, where's your modesty lol

As Chris said, the pinnacle of the car.

Enjoy

Looks like an 034 gimmick part "Turbo Delete Pipe"

How many clamps does it take to hold an air filter on?!?!? :wink:

What is more frightening is the box of silicone hose adapters and hose I have collected over the years.

wouldn't it have just been easier to set the rev limit to 3200 rpms? or were you afraid of theft?

I didn't pull the turbo off just to go to the body shop, but I was concerned about people joy riding the car so this works well. I am having Hank modify my other header with a different flange to open up turbo options.

Do you have a 2.5" 45 degree elbow you want to donate to my cause?
