Sweeeeet!

Damn, I gotta get ready with parts!

- Samco, what's the best deal out there?
- Does the same Stromung that fits the sedans fit the avant?  If no, does
the current GB that is going on for these have an avant version available?

If I _do_ upgrade the turbo I don't think I'll go RS2 because I'm cheap. 
I'd probably run one of Javad's Garrett Hybrids for bang/buck ratio (I'm
pretty happy with the k26/T04E on my 4ktq.. I'd need something with better
low end spool for this car though).

Oh boy.  This car is going to get _expensive_.

You're being dramatic, I'm consistently amazed at how cool your wife has
been about hosting all the car related madness at your house.  I'm glad I
don't currently live with my GF.. or I might have to make comprimises on
garage space.. (!)  I think it is fairly clear why I haven't gotten
married yet ;)

Right on.  If your car isn't running right to start with, adding more
boost will only make things worse.
