my 5kcstq and Linda @ Carlsen

[Ken Keith]

I just wanted to mention that for OEM parts, Linda @ Carlsen as 
listed in the vendor list is very reasonable!  

I just ordered the fuel hose that I've been plagued with since I 
screwed it up while swapping out my fuel sender (why are half of 
my repairs needed to fix stuff I break while doing repairs? :-)  ).

Scottsdale Audi quoted me $63.72 for the fuel line, it was $37 at 
from Linda.  For the lower intercooler pressure hose, it was 
$168.50 at the local dealer, and $115 from Linda.

Usually I get parts from Rod at TPC, but these are dealer-only.  I 
was going to try Clair, but they are farther away from me than 
Carlsen.

Anyhow, I thought I'd throw some positive feedback out there.

On a separate topic, I was imagining how quick a 4kq must really 
be with a chipped MC.  I drove the EC mag one back when Duane 
H. picked it up from 2B, but I don't remember it being even as fast 
as my 5kcstq is now.  Boost is very addicting, isn't it?

Later,

Ken, '88 5kcstq and others
