You refering to the big solid boost pipe that runs along the left handside of the head ? If so, yes they changed to plastic later on to try and keep the intake temps down a bit.
Mine's plastic too.

aahh........i understand. thanks again jas you have been a great help, no doubt there will be many more question that i will have to ask.
the most important thing at the moment after actually taxing the car is to have a brake upgrade, i haven't made my mind up yet but it will probably be dictated by what i can get hold of at that moment in time.looking to start buying in next couple of weeks!

Porsche 996 C2 (or Boxster "S") monoblock calipers, A8 314mm or 323mm discs, RS2 carriers (or machined Seat Cupra "R" carriers) RS2 caliper and carrier bolts and some brake lines will set you back around the £450/£500 mark.
I can seriously recommend this route

Sorry, maybe not specifically to the Avant but the S2. Jas and Paul BOTH have standard cars and BOTH have RS2 FARB's on
Well these must of been fitted after production as S2 front anti roll bars are readily available. Not only that but the S2 front anti roll bar is fitted to quite a few different coupe/avant models.
They both came with the RS2 brake shields aswell and AFAIK, both vehicle came out of the box like that. (Jas' also had a standard factory 'chipped' ECU)

The brake shields for the S2 and RS2 are very different in terms of shape. Next time you see an S2 and RS2 side by side, take a look
As for the factory 'chipped' ECU, well I hate to say this but there is no such thing. There are only 2 different part numbers for an S2 ECU with engine code ABY. One is for cars that use a transponder chip in the key (later), the other is for cars that do not (earlier). This change took place for 1995 model year cars.

The RS2 ones are tiny, I know as i've seen them, taken off the part number and ran them through the FA.. There are quite a few owners up here and there bits ARE RS2, ask JAS

Please explain "chipped", do you mean it has sockets?

Well these parts would of been fitted after production as this is not something that Audi would do themselves. Also, bear in mind that these cars are now 10+ years old each, and as such, they may well of had quite a few different owners who could of at some point fitted these parts.
Please explain "chipped", do you mean it has sockets?
Some ECU's came from the factory with the main chip soldered directly to the circuit board whilst others came with a socket which the main chip was fitted to.
The term 'chipped' however generaly refers to a different chip being fitted to the ECU
