First they arrive from a trailer which leads me to believe they are hardly streetable. But I'll take your word for it.
How did you see the turbo from glancing under the hood? The turbo is hidden under all the black plastic you were looking at. Was the turbo KO3 or K04? Would you be able to visually recognize the difference between the two?
How does something shiny under the hood signify a performance mod?
Then you go on to say you did hear a BOV. A blow off valve may sound cool but it doesn't provide you with more horsepower. Maybe a DV is what you're referring to?
Yes, APR is a big player in the chip wars. They make one of the best chips with upgradeable software. But where on their site does it mention cars running 13's with just an APR chip? So what am I supposed to believe? Until you can prove to me that a MK4, A4, or TT can turn 13 seconds in the quarter mile with JUST a chip upgrade, I'm sorry, I do not believe you. That's my point with all this, bro. I'm not trying to pick an argument here, but it seems to me that you are misinformed about quarter mile times and chipped 1.8T's. I was only trying to set it straight.
