Congrats on the Audi, nice car. Going off that link you provided earlier stage 1+ (tune and pulley kit) Revo would be awesome. That's the way I'd go, 450hp and 610nm would be an animal!

Revo is one of the biggest VAG tuning companies. I was new to it all 18 months ago when I got MK7R and ended up going APR tune, quite amazing the gains off tune alone!

Correct. It's a money making scam. If they throw it in for free, you might get some benefit out of it (if you happen to fail one of the few items that is actually covered by the warranty). However, you're better off getting them to knock a couple hundy off the purchase price instead.

Why do you say you wish you saw this sooner?

The pick out of those three would've gone to Lexus, in the industry that would've been the move to make...if the vehicle is a short term thing enjoy the Audi and move it along within a few yrs and while the kms are nice and low

Unlikely to keep it more than 1-2 years, I figure will still be sub 50k kms max

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
