I would jam it, don't ask me how I know!  Or at least test it.

  because lago is pretty close to oceanic, but without the green tinge. my 
  friend has an oceanic 4kQ. the colors look relatively close when you park them 
  next to eachother.

>i bought the car 
  (listed on audifans in 2008) for $2,800. mainly because it had low miles - 
  advertised at 110k. recent timing belt, brake bomb, radiators, UFOs, 17" A4 B6 
  rims, complete records including original window sticker. the guy was honest - 
  said the shocks were shot and the bose stereo was a POS, a/c stopped working, 
  needed tires and the sunroof didn't slide back. but it was literally in my 
  back yard.

>i go to check the car out in hayward. the paint is shot. 
  roof is faded. i open the door and the mileage says 114k. not a big deal, but 
  the story behind it is sorta funny. the owner moved to hawaii and left it with 
  his uncle to store and to drive ONCE IN A WHILE to just keep the car from 
  rotting in his driveway. i guess his uncle really liked driving the 
  car.

>his original plan was to buy the car and rape it for the 3B for 
  his UR Quattro. but he said he just couldn't bring himself to kill the 
  200q20v. so he just ended up keeping it.

>the paint was a super 
  bummer - but the interior was clean and the records dictate that the mileage 
  was indeed authentic. so, i buy the car. passes smog the first time too. i 
  thought i'd be into the car about $7,500 with paint and tires. 
  BWHAHAHA!!!!!

  follows:

>- dyno tuned 034 chip - 233WHP/260 torque - so a good 
  280HP/305 torque at the crank. goes like stink. javad said he could push it 
  more - but doing so is stupid with the stock injectors.

  shocks/H&R springs (bought used from force5)

  samco hoses (bought used from a friend)

  gotta paint it though. still looks sorta ghetto with the worn lago. other than 
  that - i plan on an 034 turboback. already have the euros and V8 tails. also 
  have some good sunroof rails so the thing will finally slide back.

>i'll 
  NEVER get my money out of the car once it's done. which is fine. it will look 
  killer, hang with modern sport sedans and it will probably be my casket when i 
  die ;-)
