I need to learn to TIG weld
Ron, Also figured out that my system had burped either during or before the track, causing the fluid level to drop, at resting temp it was at the min line, so topped off almost 1/4 to max which was about half a liter
Also changed my filter to a clean one and I did have that little screen in place, removed that as well
db, Good stuff man… That should help with airflow… Others have noticed drops in the coolant/water levels as well after installing… APR recommends pressurizing the system to ensure all air is out but I don’t think most do that…
Seems like a nice product from AMS… I’d love to see two cars with very similar setups hit the strip and pull IAT’s while making 3 consecutive passes and see how much better the AMS kit is? You Chicago guys could probably make that happen… Just a thought…
I’m actually about to order it right now. Guess I’ll be the guinea pig lol
I mentioned this in the 2014 thread, but I ordered one too. So, there’ll be a couple at least.
Is there anything that would cause an issue with installing this on a Q5? Do S4’s have more room under the engine bay?
Didn’t see that. Did you order yours with that extra tool?
Yes. Eric said it was needed if I was going to install it myself (which I plan to do). Not sure exactly why I need, but I figure I can sell it when done if needed.
what was the discount for the early adopters?
Gonna guess $100 and a free sticker!
Almost 4x that…
wow…that’s a good deal! 
so around $1550
wonder how many people will get that?
I just placed my order with it as well. I’m going to try and do it myself, but I am worried about myself taking the bumper off
ECS has a nice guide with their RS grille. Just grab some ramps to make life easier. I’d rate bumper removal at about 3/10 on the difficulty scale (which is always relative lol). It might take you a little while to find the bolts behind the wheel well, but other than that it’s pretty easy. Having a second person when you take it off doesn’t hurt.
guess this answers that
[quote]At the moment all the available spots for the review special are taken. I am going to edit my main post to reflect that. If you have already contacted me you are fine and safe but anyone that hasn’t will not be allowed to take advantage of that opportunity.
Thank you everyone for the overwhelming response!!! In just a few hours you have nearly sold us out of our initial run!

Taking the bumper off is super easy. There is also a DIY on Audizine. It’s much easier than you would think, and definitely nothing to be worried about compared to the rest of the install.
From what I can tell on my install: front bumper off, bend back passenger side wheel well, if not remove completely for more room. The rest is fairly simple of right parts right place. Biggest issue with mine was getting the system to burp, they had it burp once or twice, I had it burp once so hopefully that’s all.
Also I am looking at getting my stock air box out back in, dyno, then put my cai and dyno again; they want to look at some stuff that may come from that info…just gotta find where I out that stock box.
Who else here has a b8.5 tuned in Chicago? I know of an APR guy, but that’s it. If be more than happy to meet up, prolly going again tomorrow to do alone more logging and properly prepare this time ( aka remove crap from my car).
Really sick of reading Swank’s crap
[QUOTE=SwankPeRFection;10028667]Eric, let’s make a deal.
Obviously you are willing to somewhat sacrifice your retail price for those individuals looking to pick one up first and do the review. How about you do this. If that deal price does not kill your profit margin by a ton (and I don’t think that it does), make that the NEW price for the system. Give everyone in the community a completely undercut price from what everyone else has and at a MUCH HIGHER quality than ANYONE else has and let the community dictate where it goes. If you sell enough to make it profitable in the next 90 days to maintain that price, leave it at that. If you do not, then move it back up to the current price of $1899.
What’s the best that could happen? Everyone around here runs around with an AMS Boost Cooler System on their cars and their word of mouth on the street brings you even more people.
What’s the worse that can happen? You’re back to where you are now with people slightly disappointed in price and then maybe a few people pissed that they missed the opportunity in the first 90 days to pick one of these up at a price that “was subject to change” based on this deal.
The key thing here is… less for more and you will score! I know I’m asking a lot here, but do you want to sit at the same table as everyone else with just a better suit on (i.e. better product design) or do you want to turn the table upside down and own the room? We’ve all been waiting a long time to have someone come in and just reinvent the wheel. Be that innovator man! [up]
