did the kit come from? Audi or a non OEM source ?Any way of finding out?

Presumably BR M/Sport can get them,so there must be a _way_  My drinking partner 
is a Bosch agent,maybe I'll have to ply him with drink tomorrow night... Wish the 
wife had never bought this damned thing now.At least with electronic injection

Thanks for your help.
