New to the forum. Hello

[Bryan W]

Hello everyone. Ive been stalking this forum for about 2 weeks before i picked up my new ride. Excellent helpful info from the majority.
I purchased a 2011 DSG Ibis S4 with black/magma/CF interior. All options. I got it used with 6500kms so it pretty much brand new. This is an amazing car. My only complaint is the amount of money I've been spending at the carwash.
Ive only had it a month but my upgrades are as follows.....

APR 91 tune installed
APR pulley installed
RS5 front grille installed
Passport 9500ci installed (an absolute must have)
APR stage 1 intake ordered
AWE instake ordered
AWE boost tap ordered
AWE exhaust w(res/dp) ordered
BBS CH-R 19s in the garage but not installed yet
Autometer 15psi boost gauge yet to be installed in custom A pillar

Ill post some pics up when I get a chance but it pretty much looks like Rabbit222 s ride.
You really have to see the RS5 grille in person to appreciate it.
Custom subwoofer and amplifier install down the road.
Any and all comments welcome.
Has anyone had problems with AWE shipping to Canada? I live in Calgary Alberta and they want me to purchase through a local shop. But friends and myself have had nothing but problems with the local shop. A friend of mine who owns an airride/wheel shop is trying to become an AWE dealer because of this.
Thanks

Nice pick-up! congratz

I don't know about problems of AWE shipping to Canada (would guess not tho?) but you will have to wait long for the AWE exhaust, but I'm sure you already know that lol

And wash the car yourself plz!!

Just out of curiosity why did you order the APR stage 1 intake and the AWE intake? The APR stage 1 and 2 would have been less money and the AWE and APR stage 1 both come with replacement air filters.

That's what I was wondering

Hey, I got the RS5 Grille. How much modification did you have to go through to get it installed?
Did they have to do body work to make it fit?

I like the look of the APR stage 1 and I also like the AWE red flex tube (stage 2)
I think the red compliments the other red components. So Im goimg to combine them and have some extra parts.

The mods for the bumper were minor. However im not a picky person and dont mind it not fitting 100%. As is shown on rabbit222 s car. I have the exact same problem with the top corners being the same radius. But its hard to tell unless you point it out. It only took 30 mins to attach/mod. Not including bumper removal and reinstall. For a perfect fit some bodywork and repainting would be nessessary. Im estimating about 400 plus paint. But I could be wrong.
O ya.... and the grille/rad shroud doesnt fit anymore. Im working on that this week. Pics soon

Bryan who did your pulley upgrade?
I am waiting for my 2012 to arrive at the end of the month here in Calgary, PM if you want to meet up for coffee sometime.
Btw my old neighbor is a tech at glen more and I have been trying get in touch to get him to do some work
when mine arrives.
