Default I should be OK w/ fogs.

I'm looking into creating addition louver venting at the bottom of the bumper valence.

I'm hoping for about 500 crank hp on pump gas but driveability and monster torque are more important to me since I want it to be reliable for daily driving.

$$$$$$$? I'm just putting my head in the sand and going for it. I did get the intercoolers brand new off ebay for 200 bucks though and that was a score.

Default Morgan Hill, CA?

If so, I hope you'll bring the finished product to a GTG or two. Sounds very sweet. I thought about RS6 IC's, but the price (including f & r shrouds) and fear of the unknown put me off them. Got AWEs instead. Do your plastic fender liners have lots of slots in them for the IC air to escape through? The allroad does not, but the RS6 fender liners do, and they're only $35 a side.

Default Everyone tells me not to bother upgrading my coolers.

I have an rs4 set....but everyone I talk to who has stage 3 says not to do it. I've yet to have any real reason...mod bug. I've also been tossing around the idea of CO2 injection or aquaqmist.. What do you think?

How can you tell that they fit? There's no engine, transmission or bodywork?!??

Default Last time I checked...The engine went in the middle of the car.

......and the bumper went on the front.

Default Seems to me you could do a lot to improve airflow to the coolers before....

... upgrading coolers. Anyone ever try NACA ducts on the fenders? It might look cool too.
