Timing belts definately suck on audis, they are not easy to change..

Front mounts are not cheap at all for vw/audis. $1K is the going price really. And most of the time you have to cut your bumper to even fit it properly(that is for Jettas and GTI's, I dont know about audi's)

If I dont buy another 1.8T my forge 007 dv may be for sale. I have three springs for it for different levels of boost too.
