I guess I bent a valve very slightly but according to Jose @ Eurotech, a minor bend will often fix itself. Anyway, it should be no big deal for now and I'll have it looked at closer when I need the engine pulled for Stage 3. Thanks to everyone here who put up with my nonsense, helped out or talked ****. Got new tires over the weekend too so I'm going to chill and enjoy my car for a while now. Shout out to Eurotech, GMG, Wicked, Torque Factory and all the quality Audi Techs around here (LA) that help keep our cars on the road.

Default LOL, yeah, I was pretty worried especially after talking to Jose on the phone...

He was saying I'd probably need a new timing belt (just did it around 1000mi. ago), clutch & heads. I was preparing myself for a huge bill and thinking about upgrades at the same time but now I can relax. Car is still misfiring a little and I hope it reduces more but I'm very relieved.
