Hey Everyone,

The ol' 2001 Audi A6 was gonna need about $1500 in parts and a couple weekends of my spare time, so the wife and I decided it was time to move on.

Was looking for something fun, pretty roomy, pretty reliable and DIY-firendly. After a bunch of research on the 2 "renn" forums and 6speed, I decided on a 2004 CTT with 120k miles.

Before you laugh at me getting a Porsche for reliability, I come from the DIY Land Rover world and consider an old Discovery a reliable vehicle

Anyway, the new ride has had the coolant pipes and fuel pump done. Have to do the front rotors and pads and deal with a brake booster fault (pedal feels fine, so hopefully just a cracked hose), but other than that she seems pretty solid.

Just wanted to say hi and happy to be here!

 

Congrats and welcome, i'm a newbie to Cayenne's too ('06 CTTS) and i know what you mean about Landrover, had a P38 Range Rover a little while back, yikes, my weekends were always busy.

You planning any mods to release the full potential of the Turbos?

 

No, at least not at first.

Gonna give it a few months to a year to see what issues rear their head before gettin a little nutty.

 

I would like to read about this, is there a post dedicated to this?

 

Nothing specific, just the usual upgrades that help turbos. The small things make a greater difference on forced induction:
Diverter Valves
Upgraded filters
Rear Cat delete
ECU remap

My CTTS is knocking on the door of 600hp with those mods. The OP is probably wise to see if there are any issues first before resorting to nuttiness.

 

Welcome and lets see some pics. Jeez OP!!!

 

Haha patience!

I gotta give 'er a wash first. And before that I gotta do the front brakes and get the title in the mail (PO had a bank loan) so I can register it.
