BiPipe is a little more challenging....but worth the effort.
Check out the BiPipe installation guide. The Samco TBB is much simpler. But the FAQ will give you an idea.
Stay away from AMS...their customer service is for ****.<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/Audi/support/bipipe_installation.pdf">http://www.goapr.com/Audi/support/bipipe_installation.pdf</a</li></ul>

One thing to remember is that if ANYTHING goes wrong with your engine/turbo, etc...
and the dealer sees a bi-pipe in there, your warranty is history. Even though you and I both know that it would be a haphazard leap for them to arrive on such a conclusion without investigating the correct cause, it is indeed going to stick, because it is CLEARLY a non-stock part.
When I was looking at a TBB alternative, this was a major concern. Sure, I would have liked to really put that TBB concern to bed, but I would have raised a much bigger one.
The AMS TBB is stock, underneath the kevlar tape, with a genuine Audi part #. So, if they do start with their warranty void talk, you have a leg to stand on. This is very important, and IMHO, a pivotal reason to get the AMS TBB.
