but for anything around the turbo,
stick with what the factory had there.  I'm not sure
what the studs on the EM and turbo are made out of,
but I haven't been able to find anything that comes
close to resisting corrosion like they do.  
I must agree. I have never seen any material by any manufacturer stand up to 
exhaust abuse like the Audi turbo and header hardware.
I have often told people that ask why I like Audis, that _one_ of their 
attributes is their choice of materials for interiors, metals etc. I challenge 
anyone to find another builder whose dashes and exhaust hardware stand up to the 
elements for 20 years as well as Audi. There are probably some as good, but 
none better for my money.
