Hey guys! Yeah, the drain under the blower box was completely clogged. Leav=

e=2E Whew! Hopefully the ECU is OK; I drove 50 miles today and it seemed to=
 function fine. Will probably take some time to dry out despite my persiste=
nt shop vaccing; a hot day would be good right bout now. As far as the TAP =
mod, it sounds like a stage 1; I looked into it more deeply and I also seem=
 to have an adjustable wastegate due to a presence of a screw right on top =

that setup, comments would be appreciated. Thanks again for all your help!

  Wow, it's like these cars talk to each other and decide to gang up on a n=
umber of us at once.  Got a call from my wife this morning and she is whini=
ng about her feet are getting wet and water seems to be pouring into her ca=
r (1995 A6Q).  I figured it was one of the drains clogged up.  She got home=
.  I pulled the plastic cover off that covers the wiopers and heater blower=
, etc.  Sure enough about 3" of standing water.  Groped around with my hand=
 just to the passenger side of the centerline of the car (almost under the =
blower) and yep the drain was clogged with leaves.  A few pokes and all the=
 detritus comes out with a gallon of water.  All is well now.  Suggest you =
check accordingly.
