Default And update on the dealership calling yesterday to ask if I chipped the car or not.

They said they ran some boost tests and it came out overboosting just a little bit, but that they don't think it's chipped(uhhhh). But they said that one turbo is making a little noise and that the otherone isn't running efficient so they are replacing them. Also said the heads are leaking oil so they have to replace some seals on the engine. They replaced something so that my ashtray opens and replaced a wheel bearing and some other bearing thingy in the back that was making noise, and replaced for mrearview mirror cause I was seeing double vision with headlights.

ANYWAYS, since the engine is coming out I think I'm going to replace the water pump and timing belt. The car has 57,000 miles, sounds like a good idea right?

Does this sound right to you guys... They said they would "only" charge me an hour and a half labor to replace them for me, soooo $150 or so.

Thanks for your input guys(and girls if there are any :P)

Sweet. Yes, do the water pump, t-belt, and *all* associated rollers, tensioners, etc.

It would be a good time to do the clutch if you eventually plan on chipping...

Being on Audiworld has made me feel like replacing K03's with K03's is pointless.

Buy some strippers/hookers for the techs and leave a pair of K04's in the trunk....
