I have the BBK 80 mm on my 00 ws6 a4 good seat of the pants feel. Also has a cool hissing sound at idle. And when you get on it you can really hear the air suck into the intake. I think It was a good mod and would tell anyone to get one. any questions just pm me or post up

Did you have to swap out the return spring and thorottle cable holder from the stock one onto the bbk one?

Personally, I thought the 'cool hissing sound' was pretty irritating- but that was easily fixed. I don't know about a '98 but it is a direct bolt on. The kit includes a new TB cable bracket and the manifold adapter. I don't know that I felt much of a gain. It does, however, have the pretty BBK logo on top .

I like the hissing sound but just curious how did you eliminate it?

The gasket between the throttle body and the adapter (in several areas) was protruding ever so slightly into the neck of the throttle body. It was seemingly minimal but it was enough to create a sharp edge for the air to tumble over. The sharp edge of the adapter may have also contributed to the hissing sound. Regardless, I used a fine sanding barrel to smooth the transition from throttle body to gasket to adapter. I have little or no hissing sound now- and mine was pretty loud initially.
