Default Paging Mark P: just curious....What are your long term plans for the beautiful avant?

Are you gonna run it till the wheels fall off? Sell it at some point? Or at some point get even more wild and do an engine rebuild and GT setup?

Just curious.....really love the car.

Default No plans on selling. Plan on keeping it how it is for now... turned 174k yesterday...

I'm not sure what I'm going to do regarding turbos. I have 112k on my K04s, and wonder how much longer they will last. Perhaps I change/rebuild them before they fail, perhaps I wait for failure then upgrade to something else (likely K04 or RS6 based).

I'll be pulling the engine this fall to do the rear main seal, so I'll inspect the turbos at that point - perhaps that will tell me what to do - not sure yet.

I haven't been to the drags in over a year, as I didn't feel I was going to go any faster and didn't want to harm my tranny again. If I upgraded turbos, I'd likely then go back.

As it is now, I just enjoy driving the car, and if it stays how it is, I'll be more than happy.

Sound like a good plan.
