So I have been reluctant to post pictures of my car on here due to a hit and run that happened a few days after I bought it here from Audi Las Vegas. I will have to say after I got my technician job at Audi and was driving these cars on the daily I fell in love with them immediately. So I set out to buy a Audi and sure enough I finally got one. I have to say I lucked out with this car as it came with a good amount of things done to it that I was already going to do. Here is a list of some of the current mods and future mods for the car

Current mods

Britalman exhaust
GIAC tune
K&N drop in filter
Hawk HPS brake pads with slotted rotors
Aux input

Future mods (for now)

Front mount intercooler
High flow cat
Forge diverter valve
CC mod

and now pictures

at the dealership/work right before I signed paperwork

the car goes to the body shop to fix the hit and run tomorrow morning. When it comes back first thing that will be done is the CC markers and possibly the diverter valve, depending on how money is looking. more updates are soon to come!

So I got my car back about two weeks ago from the body shop finally. The body shop did a great job, you would never know my car was hit. Also did a couple of mods once I got it back. Decided to go stage 2 and put a down pipe on, and went to my GIAC dealer and got the stage 2 file put in.

Coming together finally

My down pipe.

Back from the body shop. While it was there I also got the grill painted to match. In the end the passenger door, the front passenger fender, and bumper cover were replaced. But you wouldn't know.

Big thanks to David at cars for updating my tune after I installed the down pipe so quickly. Decide to get the stage 2 file, next is a high pressure fuel pump upgrade and front mount. Should be looking at plenty of power for what I'm looking to do.

Kind of a terrible picture. I'll get a better one later. But got the down pipe installed, and I do have to say. I love it. My car is at a good level of sound, you can hear the turbo more. I'm very happy with it. Already thinking about possible getting a KO4. Replaced my diverted valve since I came across a whole KO3 setup from work and that had a good DV. When I took my old one out it completely fell apart the second I pulled it out. The piston just popped right out. So I'm glad I got that replaced. Swapped out my cam follower for good maintenance since I didn't know how old the one I bought the car with was. Turns out it wasn't too bad, but I swapped it anyways for good maintenance.

I was having fuel cut out issues and a low fuel rail pressure fault. Changed to fuel filter and now no more issues. Great 30 bucks spent! Now I'm getting ready to do my timing belt and the clear corner mod.

I'll post more pictures of all the other things I did recently too later.

2 Saints, very clean, Love the Phantom Black - S Line - Titanium look. Go figure, it is pretty much the identical twin of my car.

Thanks for the compliments! I definitely love this car! As far as a big turbo goes I probably won't do one. I'm pretty happy with my K03, but if I did decide to swap it I would get a K04. Its enough power for me. Once I went to stage 2 it has been nothing but fun since I got it. Sadly though I have to put doing mods to my car on hold for now. With the holidays coming up I have to save for that. But I will definitely have a front mount installed by March once it starts to heat back up. Older, you are right, our cars are pretty much twins! Great minds think alike!
