just get yourself a lil turbo kit for that thing and you will make a monster out of a stock a6.
seen it done.

i do wire tucks and that looks awesome. good job.

one thing ill add is to run the clutch cable underneath the IM.

ok...so you have a throttle cable running across your motor to where? whats with the cable in the front running parallel with the rad?
why does your rad hose look just way wrong?
your brake booster hose is 1/2 connected (flip the booster to tuck it).
tuck your clutch cable behind your manifold
turn the wires on your brake reservoir behind it so its not visible.

my guess on his rad. hoses is that they are looped so hidden coolant wouldn't leak all over?
