Some specs on the car:
It's a 1998 A4 with special order hibiscus pearl paint. I purchased the car nearly 10 years ago when it had an APR stage III system on it. From there it went through several different turbo/engine configurations until I got the crazy thought in my head to pull off the VR6 swap. The chassis currently has 128,000 and the VR6 swap has about 22,000 on it. It's currently tuned on E85 to about 25lbs of boost on the HTA35r which puts it somewhere in the vicinity of 500 whp. Last time I had it dyno'd it made 488 awhp/460awtq on a Mustang dyno with less timing than where it sits currently. Turning up the boost should end up somewhere around 600 awhp with the possibility to swap out the HTA3582r for a 6466 or larger turbo for more power.

Exterior condition: 8/10
1) The car is really in immaculate shape. Its been in a climate controlled garage its whole life and has barely seen rain except for in the past year when I've been DD'ing it here in Houston. Not a single door ding or major scratch on the car anywhere and I detail on the side so the paint has no swirls either.
2) No accident history.
3) The only cosmetic defects is some rust that began to form on the driver side door sill from water getting trapped in the plastic door sill cover and a small section of rust on the drivers interior door. Neither of these are visible from outside of the car.
4) Typical light wear such as small rock chips on the front bumper and side skirts.
5) The only dings that are present are small reverse dings on the hood where the engine mounts broke back in 2013 allowing the engine to contact the hood (they're barely noticeable).
Interior condition: 7/10
1)Drivers seat has some wear on the bolsters
2)Headliner is beginning to sag in the back
Items that the new owner might want to address:
1) I've been running the car with just dumping the crankcase vapors to atmosphere. It doesn't really bother me but the new owner might want a catch can to reduce the vapor load.
2) The oil cooler necessitated removing the windshield reservoir so there is currently no windshield washing function. A custom tank will need to be fabricated for the windshield reservoir to add this function back.
3) The AC compressor is currently installed in the car but new lines need to be fabricated. Otherwise I have all the components to get AC back in the car.
Tunes:
Nearly all of the miles on the swap have been on E85 but I periodically run a tank of 93 to flush any deposits that form. The car will come with both an E85 tune and a 93 octane tune (you'll need a laptop to switch the tunes) and you'll need to turn down the boost on the 93 octane tune.
