Catch can was postponed again because the package was sent to 20127 instead of 20187 . The boostvalve takes forever to get adjusted right, still working on it. Plasti dipped my weeks white today and I love how it came out, anybody have any suggestions how I can use a bit of paint and paint the rings in the center of the rim and nothing else? Q-tip didnt work

Finally got the catch can installed, I decided to go with a pcv delete. For a cheap Chinese piece of crap, that catch can actually is really well built amazingly

I went with the same route. My valve cover is run to the catch can which vents to atmosphere. The pancake valve and the rest of the PCV tubing is in the **** can and the TIP is plugged with an aluminum slug I got from 034.

I did it a little differently, since I didn't want to cut the tube or buy an adapter I kept the tube and just ran the end into the catch can. The then removed the pancake valve and just plugged it like you did. Seems to be working well so far, and I was able to fit in neatly in the space the carbonio cleared up for me

Installed my FMIC, took about 7 hours. I had to cut the front end of my car in 1 place and my bumper in a whole bunch of places, turned out very well though. i want to put something where the side grills used to be up until where they clip in so you can still see the piping, any suggestions?

Nice intercooler. I think you paid a high price for your Audi, especially with that mileage but the car looks in great condition.

I got my 2.8 for 1,700 at 80k. I know its not turbo but I cant imagine having to deal with turbo problems when I have been trying to fix my CEL code for like 8 months now.

The rims didn't look bad black, its just that you have to paint over the other chrome pieces for it too blend in.

While i did pay more for my a4 then most people, the guy i bought it from is my neighbor and ive seen him take great care of all his cars. I have every receipt for everything that has been done to the car from oil changes to exhaust from a very well known dealership in town, and all the 185k miles he put on it were 100% highway miles never driven hard. Sometimes you gotta pay more for something that you know is in great condition rather then taking a risk for a much cheaper version.
If you got a great audi at a great price very good job! I just chose not to take that risk.
As far as the rims i just wasnt digging them at all, looked to "gangsta" for me. Ended up going with white

Plus the paint looks great. That's always a plus, buying a car with its original paint job. Then you can more or less tell if the car was ever damaged badly, know what I mean?

True, that picture isn't what the paint actually looks like though. But the paint is very nice, only 1 small scratch that's filled with touch up paint, other than that it looks fresh out of the factory
