A4 UltraMeow

[Jigs]

Ok so I am finally back into a euro after neglecting my POS 97 Jetta for so long I basically gave it away. Well I picked up a 2004 Dolphin Gray A4 UltraSport Quattro 1.8t 6mt, that I found down in chicago. I flew down there last saturday to check it out and I ended up buying it and driving it back that night. I had forgotten about all of the tolls on I-90 and had to blow through the I-Pass lane like 4 times so I should be getting a bill in the mail here if they happen to get a picture of my temporary plate as it was flapping in the wind.

I have always been partial to the b6 a4 as I had always thought they looked boring until I found the Ultrasport and when I found this one I somewhat fell in love.

Anyways I dont really know what else to write so on to some pics.





First things first. I need to get this little bit of dent action going on fixed. I talked to a paintless dent removal place and it looks like it will be no problem now I just have to find time to bring it in!


When I got the car home I tossed in a Green AudiUp snub mount and got rid of the tattered foam one that was in there. Honestly I didnt think it was going to do jack shit but it feels as if it idles ridiculously smooth now.

I also got out my laptop and dug my old VAG-COM cord out of a box it has been sitting in for a few years and attempted to do a little coding. First of all my cord would not fit in the port on the Audi as it was too big to fit in the slot, so I took a hammer to it and busted the casing off of my cord and it fits in there now granted it looks a little janky since its basically a chip hanging off the the cord. I fired the laptop up and the cord worked great!

What I did with VAG-COM:
- One touch lock/unlock
- Disabled seat belt chime
- Changed Xenon headlights to "Rest of World" setting so that when I flip my brights on my low beams and fogs stay on
- Remote windows
- DRL fogs


Things I plan on doing in the near future:
- Magnaflow 16601
- K&N
- Figure out if I want a high flow cat or a test pipe
- Figure out the differences and then what tune/chip I want + green giant injectors

- or if I just want to save the cash and go frankenturbo in the spring

- Swap out all interior lights with LED's

Ok, I was at work today and when I went to leave I turned my key to the on position and my fuel pump sounded like it was pumping bolts... So I turned the car on and I could hear the fuel pump still making that noise... I decided I would let the car run for a bit before I just take off and have it die on 94. Well low and behold the fuel pump shat out after about 5 minutes of idling. I didnt expect to have the fuel pump toast out at 90k...

So I called up Carousel Audi and they had the pump in stock so I ran over in the work truck and picked it up along with a new gasket. I went to replace the pump in the parking spot I was in at work and started to change it. well I got to the point where I needed to turn the lower part of the pump counter clockwise to unlock it and the bracket piece just broke... Well I started to get super pissed and I could not get the bracket to turn at all but I was able to pull the pump out. The bracket that turns and locks in the tank stayed in the tank and I took the locking bracket off of the new pump and dropped the pump in until it clicked into the bracket. I was a little relieved when I got that in but then getting the gasket back on was a whole different ball game. I finally got it on and got the top cover back on and got everything hooked back up and locked in. I primed it a couple times with the key and it fired right up.

I drove it home with no problems.

Does anyone happen to have the Audi tool for turning and unlocking the fuel pump to pull it out? I would really like to pull the fuel pump again and put the new locking bracket on and make sure that the pump is correctly seated in its housing.

The tool I need is Audi Tool#3307

well welcome to the DG B6 club! theres is no club but welcome anyway! testpipe on stock engine makes a huge difference, rai makes one with a j pipe thing for the second o2 sensor so no cel. if you want the green giants, a frankenturbo paired with motoza software will yield around 220 at the wheels. i have the frankenturbo with the Audi TT injectors, shouldve gone with the green giants instead cause they're cheaper and more power. car looks awesome, have fun with it!

[MrScary]

Might as well be a DG club, there's enough of us around now!
If I had to do it over again I would go with a Frankenturbo.

I spent a ton of time in Chicago with my old job and missed my share of tolls. Check out the link below.

Sharp looking car. I want those 06+ mirrors off that duramax

Hmm, I think I know the people you bought that from. Did they have a Golf R and a Miata or Infiniti racecar?

Is this the test pipe that your talking about:

It looks damn nice and it looks like a lot of people like them. Would this just bolt right up to my stock exhaust system? I would assume so but this is my first turbo car and I guess I am new to the ropes. Also would I have any issues running a 3" test pipe mated to the stock exhaust, or even the Magnaflow 16601 which I believe is 2.5"?

I have the 034 pipe on my otherwise stock exhaust. Fair gains, would wrap the pipe before install next time... CEL for cat can be turned off with a flash

A friend has custom 1 peice test/downpipe, not a bad way to go also.

yep i have it on my all stock exhaust right now. planning to go 2.5" downpipe in the future. i say go for it! youll notice a slight gain in mpg also on top of the performance gain.
