Default I've always been square *chuckle*

but over the weekend Poppa Pig and Mr Piggie were doing some tinkering with my car *grin*

tinkering = Stage 3 with K16 hybrids, Southbend Stage 2+ clutch, new fuel pump, HUGE injectors, RS4 fuel rail, HUGE MAF housing, new cold air intake, and RS4 cams...

you know...tinkering

We're still tuning so I'll post results and pics of the buildup after its completely done...but we're shooting for basically twice a stock S4...so hence...QuaD squared

Ps...take care of Mike when he's out in Socal...he needs some major R&R. Send me the bill :P

Default $70-75 around Philly. used to be cheaper to take it Autohaus of Harisburg at $55, but I think it's

gone up since then. They also lost their p-car and gained Mitu. Since that happened, most of (if not all) the good techs left.

who pays for dealer labor rates anyway? DIY or find an independent shop.
