Default Update on Audi problems...

Well Josh tore into my Audi and it looks like the Cat & maybe the downpipe were the culprits...

I am thinking about having the K04 put in while he's doing all of that. My extended warranty will cover all the stuff that broke thank goodness. So, I am thinking since Josh will be all up in there anyway, I might just splurge & go all the way and get the big K04 turbo.

He's trying to take good care of me, and Jeremy at Matrix is being totally cool w/ the software if I get the K04...

I'll have to wait &amp; see what happens...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1484504.phtml">Prior story</a></li></ul>

Default Remember to upgrade your MAF, if you get KO4 or you'll run rich at WOT especially.

You are in good hands either going with Achtuning or Matrix engineering. Good luck actually you are already if the cost is covered by extended waranty.

Oh I assume you have 97 A4, AOA updated the MAF starting 98 MY.

Default When did you move to TX? BTW, I wonder if you have rubbing..or you just on a trip there?

problem with your BBS SX. I am really thinking about getting those. Well, the reason I ask right now the upper rear control arm seems to be so close to the top of my rather worn tires so I wonder if I go to wider (18x8 in this case) and new tires I am not going to have problem, thanks.
Enjoy the dry weather while you are there, he...he...he...

Default Business Trip...Back at the end of the month...

Well the offset is 32 so the wheel is level with the fender...I had Yokohama Paradas 225/40/18 on the wheel and no problem rubbing...I then went to Bridgestone S03's 225/40/18 and yes rubbing...so I raised my coilovers...and no longer rubbing it is tight though...I will roll my fenders when I get back...probably trim the liner also...
Your clearance for the control arm will be fine...

It's tight on all wheels, thus no snow chains on our cars...

We'll have to hook up when I hit Seattle again...I was there a few weeks ago...
