from Champion Audi(R8 fan). Are there any inherent problems I should keep an eye out for? Secondly, what engine improvements are most common?

Hello to all

Welcome to the forum fldave!

This is a great site. We keep the dialogue friendly and the attitude positive. The info is well received by all and we are here to help anyone with the need. I hope you find it to your liking as well.

If you're not familiar with this forum, please click the START HERE! link. There you will find a forum vocab list, an Audi forum terminology list and an Audi lexicon list. They should be very helpful to you if you're not familiar with the jargon.

Please feel free to ask any question, but double check the archives first. Many questions have been archived and, quite often, the answers are comprehensive.

=============================================================

Nothing really obvious to worry about. I'd keep an eye on your front end - tie rods and control arms, though.

Engine mods on the 2.8 are limited to intake and exhaust (exhaust is most common because intake does little improvement). Of course, if you want to spend big money for a wicked supercharger, then you'll have real monster and quite an improvement in performance!

Think about brake, suspension, and wheel/tire upgrades, too.

congrats...if you wanna fork out big buck pes-tuning [http://www.pes-tuning.com/] offers a supercharger that will buy you about 100hp...if you wanna go cheap [about $200] ditch that factory air box and get a cone filter...that should get you about 10hp...but whatever you do no k&n panel filters, its not the stock filter that is restritive but the airbox...chips for the 2.8 wont get you that much but if you wanna go crazy and not pluck out your ecu you can get somthing called an sps [http://ecodetuning.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=42]...enjoy and good luck!
