[A4] Pre-chip checklist

I ran a K&N for as long as Ihad my '98 chipped - 80k miles.  No
problems.  I think the key is that when you _re-oil_ it you don't _over_
oil it.

I'm not sure--but I think I remember reading somewhere
that the K&N might not be the best option for the car.  Something about
the fact that the K&N allows larger particles through than some of the
other oem/normal non-oiled filters, which can be a problem over time for
a turbo.  Turbo's don't react very well to dirt/dust/and other
substances;-)

You might want to check on the Audi sites such as
audiworld and others.  Search a little and if you
can't find it--then ask in the forums for the car you
are interested in.
