It’s the little things that add up and make it a big thing. Already in discussions with my shop about a 4.0 swap next year

Now that I can attest to which is why I don’t do extreme add on with my Audi, subtle to me wins every time.

Make sure they document it so I can do the swap in 10 years when I can afford it

Now, THAT will be nice!! I'd like to know what it entails to make the various coupe modules think they are a wagon. :)

couple undercarriage upgrades. getting an annoying click/pop when turning at slow speeds, going to replace the steering rack and hopefully that solves the issue. control arms, tie rods, coilovers, joints, etc are all fine so were thinking the rack its finally going bad (it has 150k miles on it)

[shreddykrueger]

headed to Houston tonight for TX2K with the boys at Sittin Pretty

Awesome build! I really need to get my RS4 spoiler fitting better.

Do you have an Instagram to follow too?

Edit: Where'd you get the CF rear diffuser?

it took a bit to get mine dialed. lots of adhesive and some 25lb weight plates sitting on it for 24hrs seemed to do the trick.

I got the CF diffuser from ECS.

Thanks for the spoiler tip!

getting the custom 3.0 tune dialed in (thank you VPS tuning). swapped out the center console trim to piano black to match the a5 cluster trim

Love the interior, looks so fresh! With that RS Nav screen and the new wheel, it looks bang up to date

It really does! I have the standalone RSNAV using the OEM screen, and I'm still debating if the upgrade to touchscreen is worth the $$$. I've heard of more issues with the TS versions, and the standalone version seems much simpler to use. It just works with no apps needed

[shreddykrueger]

so I will say it takes a bit to get dialed (setup, running a DAC, adjusting EQ, updates, etc) but the way it modernizes the interior, the ability to have touchscreen CarPlay, and just overall aesthetic it adds was worth it for me

[DRKNESS65]

It would seem that patience is your friend, a job well done sir.

It’s been a loooooong build with continual tweaks in to get it dialed exactly how I want. Finishing up some revisions on a custom 3.0 tune currently and just ordered a sports diff

Cartilage?

Whoops, that was a bizarre autocorrect mishap. I think it was supposed to say "It just works"

[shreddykrueger]

Sports diff: acquired. Probably install sometime this summer

[shreddykrueger]

Summer mode: engaged.

Custom 3.0 tune by VPS is dialed after 9 revisions, driveshaft replaced and running like a bad bitch

[shreddykrueger]

[shreddykrueger]

Was driving to the trails for a quick pedal Sunday night and the hood was dumpin smoke…valve cover gasket shot and was burnin up oil. Replaced both sides and she’s runnin like a champ // raising the rear 1/4in so the back isn’t so squatted (even tho front & rear is same FTG)

[coopster23]

That's a quick turnover on the repair! Good work

[shreddykrueger]

recently installed water/meth. hid the reservoir in the firewall cover and sprays right before the TB. set the controller to being spraying at 8lbs boost and progressively spraying more until 20lbs.

Very nice!!! Any more details or pics on the meth installation!?? I’d love to see how you mounted the tank. I was thinking of doing it in a similar location. Where did you place the pump?

…and finally - how is the system working for you? Looks like the cap of the snow performance kit - which one.

Congrats on a gorgeous build!

[shreddykrueger]

shoutout to Eddie @ getyourwheels for helping with the new set. gotta get rid of the red center cap then we gucci. new wrap, wheels, coilovers coming early Nov

[shreddykrueger]

ceramic coated

[shreddykrueger]

installed new vogtland coilovers + Klassen F53R metallic gloss black wheels. LPFP upgrade going in tomorrow

[Rewagon]

Amazing build! The car is incredible but also thanks for sharing your progress. Definitely an inspiration.

How are you feeling about the RSNAV? Curious if you would want to upgrade after having it for a while now or still happy with the stand alone?

Also interested in your thoughts on the Vogtlands?

yo yo! I love it. I have the s3 RSNAV and have no intention of upgrading to the s4. It was a bit buggy at first and took a bit to get dialed in, but now that it is it runs flawless. Would definitely recommend adding to your avant to modernize it.

I’m super happy with the vogtlands, super hard to beat for the price. I ran my last set for ~70k miles and just replaced with the exact same setup. The drop is pretty ideal, my front FTG is 25.75 and rear is 26. Ride feels like a slightly stiffer sport suspension

[shreddykrueger]

lpfp upgrade: aem secondary pump that kicks on at 15psi via hobb switch tapped into the vac line. Been throwing a cel for fuel rail pressure when really hammering it, this should solve that. Shout out to shorty & Christian at Sittin Pretty for gettin me dialed in. Next up: Macan fronts
