So 4.7ohm is fine

If that's the required value then yes - the series connection may have been recommended to boost the wattage (two 1 watt resistors in series will allow for two watts dissipation)

OK cool hopefully it works

nice improvement. the lights on the standard avant are woeful.

which kit did you use?

It's one I got online 8000k hid I think they look good big improvement

Going to fit my new back box tomorrow had it straight piped but just to loud for me must be getting old lol gone for a 4 inch slash cut tip which some people will hate but seen a a4 b5 with one before and really liked it like to be different lol

[TonyRPH]

A straight through pipe must have been loud because I had a system fitted to my A4 (no longer own it) and even with two silencers it would drone quite a bit inside the car.

[Vw nut]

Also decat as well too loud loving your a4 shame you don't own it anymore

[TonyRPH]

My first was a standard B5 1.8, then I got a B5 2.8 Quattro (v6) and then the one above (1.8T Quattro) a then B6 3.0 Quattro (v6)

Nice cars, but I always found the BMWs to drive quieter.

But in the snow I'll have an Audi over the BMW for sure.

I have a brand new fiesta and I still think my 17 year old Audi handles better

[Vw nut]

Just though I would put a update up new exhaust fitted a lot better not so loud also got a bex manifold going to get some red Saab injectors and a bex turbo once got all them fitted with a good remap hoping for around 240bhp fingers crossed

[Vw nut]

Just some pics today after a morning detailing it

[TonyRPH]

That's looking good.

I'd prefer silver wheels but that's just a matter of taste isn't it.

[Vw nut]

Cheers bud really don't know what to do about the wheel keep them change them change the colour really don't know

[Vw nut]

Does anyone know what the best injectors to use has anyone got ant experience with saab redtops or let vauxhall injectors any advice cheers

[Vw nut]

yes i bought one it was st, just about to fit it and was fithly, loads of carbon bits. took me ages to get a refund as the seller accused me of lying.

loads of stuff is basically Chinese clones, best stick to known traders like i said before beach buggy turbos or even buy a new borg, i think the bex is 775 brand new.

[Vw nut]

Oh that's not good I look at them and think how can you sell a turbo for 150 pounds how much does it cost them to make it

housing are not complicated it is the turbines and the balance tolerance involved that makes the different, considering the rpm they spin at. A hybrid from a known seller or new would be my choice unless you know one coming off a car due to upgrade.

[Vw nut]

That's probably best think I want to go bex turbo route just need to find one

Nice to see one of these on here.

I have had a A4 1.8T B5 shape for 13 years. Changed so many bits and bobs over the years and still love the odd time I get to drive it. Feels like it is so well made and I still like that generation of Audis.

They are good cars just need mine to be a bit faster any pics of yours mate
