The rod inside the turbo has been known to melt and fail at increased temperatures. On my K04 A4, I had never experienced it, but have read some cases of people who had. I highly doubt the previous owner swapped out the K04 for a GT25 or GT28 as the engine compartment looks pretty stock, and it does not have the FMIC which is a part of the APR 3+ kit.

With the GIAC and APR chips, power is around 260hp/260tq, and theres no way the car is a low to mid 12 second car.

Personally, I would try to stay away from a chipped or modified Audi, especially if you dont know whom the previous owner is. Audi parts and service can get very pricey.

We had a member here named Jenner who had a seriously modified TT.. if you can pm him, im sure he'd be able to help you out.. then again, he's not in a 911TT Cab so he may not check these forums at all anymore

Post on audiworld's TT forum and maybe you'll find the previous owner.

The K04-01 and -015 (A4's and upgrades) will die out at 18psi-ish, where as the 020/023 (won't fit anything other than the 225) can handle a good 21-24 psi. As I noted above, 27psit is it's limits of efficiency.

Some people take out one or both of the center air vents and replace with a gauge or two. Check Audiworld.com for some other photos.

That reminds me, the seat heater switches broke several times and would not stay pushed in. Certainly a fun car and I love the design of the coupe. I dont care for the convertible one as much.

Ah... cool... thanks for the heads up. That fits quite nicely with the car. You guys keep bringing down the TT... I wish I could drive a stock one to see the difference because this was far from slow.

I drove my first S2k today. I only hit vtec once and the owner basically told me to take it easy (private seller) so I did. I was (obviously) not impressed. I might go to the dealer next week and see if I can test the 05 they have on the lot.
