I elected to go with a less drastic change than Francois. I just wanted a Eurosports cam, TAP chip, cone K&N air filter, Scorpion exhaust and some suspension changes. My problem is too rich fuel/air mix. I've asked Ivor for the spec sheet on the chip. He continues to ignore me.

Hello,

I've been lurking around for a while and reading this post really got me fired
up.  A few months ago I decided to opt for the stage 6 conversion from TAP
for my '98 A4 and to put it bluntly I've had nothing but problems in dealing
with them!  To cut it short, the "bolt on" kit required so much modifications
that it might as well be called "my" custom kit now.  However my main
concern is in the "customer relations" department.  The feeling I got from
them is that once the product is paid for, it's "see ya later."

On a different note, does anyone have any suggestions regarding
performance clutch kits for the A4?  I read Neuspeed is coming out with
a beefier one.
