Heavy Duty Lemforder updated all metal "B" version Tie Rod End, part # 8E0419811B $50 (Do yourself a favor and get high quality TRE's, you'll thank me later!!)
I ended up keeping the gates kit, I've put about 8k miles on it so far.
I've got an Audi A4 Quattro that I DD, Autocross and teach HPDE ( Track Days ). Originally I tried the TT carrier / A8 rotor (312mm ) upgrade. I later switched to Porsche Boxster calipers because I was getting pad taper on Track Days.
There is no way to know without removing the cylinder head and posting pictures. Best case you can just replace the timing belt and any bent valves.
GREAT in the snow and they are quiet, comfortable and handle well in all other conditions.
The longitudinal 1.8T's runs out of injector pretty quick so if you start pushing your current turbo you may need them anyway - hopefully you can log your injector duty cycles (or have already) to see where you're at.
For whatever it's worth, I had these on my B7 A4 and then S4...I had no issues with the brakes on the S4. Felt great and definitely an improvement. I definitely felt a difference when I had a full car of people and did a complete stop with everyone inside the car. Car just stopped.
Denso iridium are great for turbo cars
NGK are also good, but in experience denso iridium works better when running more than 1 bar of presseure
i drove on the OEM Dunlop SP8000's that came on my old B5 A4 years ago and they were just average.
I used clear silicon around the whole housing and i still get some moisture problems...
