I personally would not, no. After Javad insulted me years ago I wouldn't 
have bought from him in the first place. The cars owner I do not believe 
would, but I cannot speak for him. After the first issues we had with the 
turbo parts the owner was looking for other places to buy some stuff, but 
none existed. We were going to do the 1.8t coil conversion, but the owner 
doe not like getting his hands dirty and didn't want to get involved in 
making a wire harness, so he went to 034 and found that they had issues with 
the 1.8t coils so he opted for thier more expensive option.

It is my personal belief, backed up by some recent finding on the Audifans 
S-car list, that 034 was buying cheap coils from some place other then Audi. 
A recent post on the S-car list noted that one or two of his 034-supplied 
1.8t coils failed, so he replaced them with OEM units from the dealership 
and found that the operating temps of the 034 coils was significantly 
higher, posibly leading to thier failure. Instead of offering the better, 
OEM coils at a slightly higher price, 034 decided to pull them from thier 
offerings in what I believe as an attempt to sell more of thier higher 
priced remote mounted coil kits. Now in the event of an (admitted unlikely) 
failure we are bound to purchasing replacements from across the country and 
waiting days for shipping, instead of being able to stop in any Audi dealer 
to pick up an emergency replacement.
