Simple question
also please enlighten me on these little things
* and don't forget the little things like engine mounts, BPVs, blah blah blah....*
the more torque you have, the more you will accelerate the wear on the engine mounts. I upgraded to the engine mounts off the heavier 2.8 v6... about $30 x 2, so 60 for that...
you also will liekly benefit from a new snub mount (the engine mount that attaches the front of the engine into the radiator support... $50 at apr....
you will likely need a bit of minor maintenence too... any and all 1.8Ts should have the timing belt and tensioner replaced around 60,000, regardless of what teh dealer tells you (audis are direct interference engines, bend valves if the timing belt snaps...)... that is about $150 in parts and a decent amount of labor... you may also want to ensure your vacuum lines are fine, etc... hoses, little stuff... otherwise they can be bigger things down the road...
Aside from the timing belt, other stuff is kinda cheap...
I just want to be sure you don't buy all the parts at once... to ensure you have cash if you need it...
I would do chip-suspension-exhaust-rims/tires-intercooler... and save for a t28 or apr stage 3....
but if you are bent set on k04 before a standard chip... then do suspension-exhaust-turbo-rims/tires-intercooler...
But you said intercooler before the turbo kit??
so even the stock turbo is a good idea to intercool?
for suspension im going coilovers i wanna be able to pass inspection every year

Is it a bad idea to get the stuff for the turbo now before getting it? in another words the bpv and such could i get that now, my thing is i dont want to force the stock engine in anyway.
Cause i know how touchy they can be.
And chip would you recomment TAP, Witt or Giac?
Now we move to body will the S4 front bumper fit no probs on a 1999.5 - 00" audi or major mods will need to happen?
the 2 major players are APR and GAIC.... both are good unit... and REALLY close in performance.
The stock a4 turbo engine can take a lot... maintence is key... but it can handle boost pretty well...
front bumper... S4 bolts right up, no mods needed. do a search on that on the A4 forum... actually, search for the a4 forum FAQ... that has a list of all the part numbers you will need... you do NOT need new bumper shocks, regardless of what the dealer tells you.
So suspension wise i dont need anything drastic.
Whats the offset on audi rims?

And for full fascia kits im thinking the s4 front, i see it fits with no issue great but the audi sides, i noticed some kits wont cover that black part ?!?! so what can i do to eliminate that?
What kit would cover it or at least take it off to replace it with something else.
