[urq] Parts sources

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Autohausaz.com is good for the run of the mill stuff and filters/fluids.  Great pricing, fast service.  Blau parts is pretty good for the more obscure Audi stuff.  034 is creating a few solutions for the urq stuff that is nla, but I've heard varying feedback on fitment type issues.  However, I just got adjustable upper control arms for the B5 from 034, and they are excellent.  Sunset is good too for OE stuff.

I'm sure Ben has some ideas, as he is the SuperProShopper.

Your turbo - I see 034 offers a Garret hybrid 50 trim with a Stage 2 wheel now.  That has been my favorite street sizing for years.  I put one of those on a friend's UrS about 10 years ago just as an experiment in sizing... it's still going strong, and makes about 365 whp.

Gentlemen;
Since our/my local "go to guys" (namely Tim at Import Car Parts) is gone away and merged with the higher priced and much less personal Import Parts Warehouse, where is a good source for parts. Especially the URQ specific stuff.
I'm looking for:
1) 3B head gasket (TB "while I'm in there") {this will be a quick lift and slid er in job}
2) URQ ball joint front and rear (I believe they're the same on my car)
3) Tie rod ends front and rear. (I have some spares for the rear that are the small units - no joy)
4) Oil filters for 3 different Audis
5) Spark plugs when needed.
6) Oh and lest I forget - an RS2 turbo (or equal)
 
Been a rough year. Each car wants some attention.
 
Most of the online sources don't go deep enough for the suspension parts and are not familiar with the varying URQ idiosyncrasies from early to late year builds etc.
Any good recommendations?
TIA

PSS  URQ with Hak4s is a blast in this stuff
