That would be my other major argument, look where you work, it makes ZERO sense to go 'out of the family'

The oil-feed line for the turbo gets farked up easily at times, replacement of the oil feed line is required, judging from a quick read of things turbo-related. Just go to google for "wrx turbo oil failure" and reall all the crap that pops up...

gotcha... Ive always liked em but for the $$$ i always look a different direction for reasons idk...
Ive found myself even just eyeing the 08 3.2 A4's a bit small for my taste but i still like em... I know maintenance is what most ppl jump at but thats why anybody would recommend a warranty on any newer car

2nd. Is the rear valve cover clearance. You can use a 3.5 cover but you will battle a few oil leaks. Your best bet is to use your dek valve cover and shave it down flat then use 3.5 coil packs because the "stem" is shorter to compensate for the shaving.

Am I going to shave a 4th gen VC or 5th gen VC?
