A4 funky instrument cluster display

[Grant Lenahan]

I tried dismantling. Fuggeddabowdit.

Taka's right on on TB (duh). 75k probably OK, btu beware the h20  
pump. $900 is a very good price.

I missed the tranny problem.  Well, no, not like the v8 or even the  
D1/d2 A8, but the tips are fragile especially if you choose to chip  
up your boost. unless you need a tip, get an MT6.
