Default $400 + 5 Hours = New Project...

Last week a couple of my buddies came over and we finally knocked out the FMIC install.

It was a completely custom install - no instructions and no kit - it turned out pretty well for having completed in 5 hours and just kinda throwing stuff on. Keep in mind any project on the S4 takes one billion hours so 5 hours wasnt too bad.

Heres a peek at what all went on - i've got like 15 photos of the whole thing but im just throwing up a few for you guys to see.

That day we also installed my GIAC X chip and tomorrow my MBC is going in - VAG cable comes in this week which allows me to run my race gas program so this piggy should run pretty well in the next few days.

Enjoy:

Sorry for sounding stupid, but why are there two charge pipes on each side? I've only ever seen it on one other Audi. Looks good BTW

whats that sound i hear? oh yea....crunch.


good luck in a crash, cause it will really fuck some stuff up. please tell me you have some form of crash beam in there (cause that is what takes up most of that bumper assy. on them things!)

other than that,
