Ive got a 1998 Audi A3 with a AGU enigne stock standard.. Automatic.. do you guys think this kit would be a goos idea to run on the car.. And would i be able to see 1 bar of boost with uprated fuel system and aftermarket ECU without wrecking anything?? Or would i be better off getting a kit from giac or Apr???

Audi didn't make A3's in 1998!

You aren't going to find much info here... in the U.S., A3 was not available until 2006 and this is the B5 A4 section.

That said, it looks like a comprehensive kit, but it's a t3/t4, which is a very capable turbo, but spool time isn't as quick as a GT series. Once the car spools, you'll have fun, but off the line spool will be a bit slower than a dbb GT series. $2700 actually seems like a decent price for a kit like that.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^

Well, I think they did make A3 in 1998, they just didn'ty sell them in the U.S. like they do now. I know they sold them on Europe and I have seen plenty in Mexico also.

 

I know. It was a li'l jokey-joke.

Nice A4, btw!

 

Nice A4 mate Hernandez3011.. My question still stands asking do you guys think the AGU engine will be able to handle the kit with blowing itself to pieces??? thanks,, And as for this being the B5 section i understand and i did have a B5 A4 but now own a 98 A3... That said my question is based on the engine which were similar in the A4 and A3... Any help would be highly appreciated...

 

bump..

 

Most audi auto trans can handle up to about 250 ft-lbs without many issues. t3/t4 should put you way above that, if tuned correctly. The engine can handle it, but your trans will need some help.

If you tune your t3/t4 past 300 ft-lbs, consider new connecting rods for your engine. What's nice about a non-ball bearing turbo is that it spools slower, so the torque peak isn't as hard on the rods as a GT series. Search the A4 stickies for more info.
