On the way
P3 Gauge
Analog Boost Sensor
Still need to choose a boost tap! Not sure if I want to punch a hole in my manifold or go through the pain of using the spacer style.
Still looking to buy an APR Catch Can. Don't want to spend $300 on a catch can that should cost $150.

2015 Audi S3 Prestige with Performance Package and Bang & Olufsen.
Here it is in the first week of owning the car. I bought it with around 35K miles on it for a great price. 11/5/17
Bought and installed an APR intake and CF turbo inlet pipe. 2/5/18
Picked up a used lip in great condition from a forum member. With my old Ducati in the background. 3/14/18
USP Downpipe installed at 36069 3/21/18
I won a facebook giveaway for the custom emblem company Blacklabelz. Great product, and great service for custom painted OEM emblems. 3/24/18
Shopped around and went with a Unitronic Stage 2 ECU and TCU tune. Flashed using my work computer in the dock at the office. 4/2/18
Ran into some problems with the CEL's. All were cleared by John at Unitronic, except for the P0036. After doing some facebook digging, it looks like this may be due to a faulty USP oxygen harness extension. I've got a new one and will update when I get it on and the codes cleared to see if that fixes the problem!
GFB DV+ installed. Broke the OEM plastic turbo inlet during re-installation, so I rode my Harley and overnighted a CTSTurbo billet turbo inlet. Installed the APR coolant relocation hose the same night. I maimed the OEM hose getting the check valve out, and ended up breaking the check valve when trying to install it into the the APR hose. I ordered a Spullen coolant relocation hose that includes an OE style check valve to replace it. 4/17/18

Installed the Maxton Design Front Lip in Gloss Black and was able to install the front badge without pulling the front bumper! 5/4/18
Same night popped a tire on a pothole while driving at night. It made a .5inch hole in the sidewall and I changed the tire and moved on 5/4/18
Update on CEL: I checked fuses and the extension harness and saw no problems. I resistance tested the heater control circuit in the OEM O2 sensor and found nothing, meaning the connection was broken. So, somehow during the DP install the O2 sensor heater was broken. I purchased a new DP O2 sensor from audionlineparts.com for like 40% of retail. If you need an OEM part I would check them out. The parts look to be sold out of the service department of a dealer in NJ, so the site is reputable. I replaced this, flashed the CELs, and the problem was fixed.

Tinted my taillights and rear reflectors with Lamin-X "Tint" color 7/20/18
Before
After
Here is a comparison for those curious about light output. One side is tinted, one side is stock.
Also tinted the front side markers with the Lamin-X "Gunsmoke" colored tint. Not as good as E-Codes, but a hell of a lot cheaper!
