The first is a new OEM valve cover gasket. I noticed while researching my oil leak that my gasket is seeping out a good amount of oil. I ordered the gasket from GermanAutoParts.com They have great prices for OEM parts. A valve cover gasket at the dealer is roughly $40-50 and at other sites about $40. They had it for $19.40 plus shipping.
It can be found here:

Actual part:
If you do decide to order from them, a word of advice. They do not charge shipping right away. They try to offer the best price for shipping, so you will be charged later for the whole amount within a day or two of ordering. The shipping is quick as they use UPS Ground.
The second part to come to my door is a 36 inch braided line with -4 AN fittings at each end. This will be my new oil feed line. I got the part from a fellow VW owner on Vwvortex. I priced around the line and most sites had it for about $40. The line is a great upgrade for those who are thinking of going big turbo down the road. Am I? Well we will see.
For the oil feed line a braided line with -4 AN fittings is close to stock that you can get without naturally going stock.
This is my new shinny part: Haha
For anyone who is interested in changing out the stock oil lines for braided lines and AN fittings. Here is some help. A -4 is good for the feed and a -10 is good for the return line to the turbo. The fittings for each vary. Check out:

They have a good selection for AN fittings and the ones that best fit VW/Audi models. Such as the return line adapter for the pan. All lines to a stock turbo will require some research for the right size.
And now I'm off to bed.
