If a tuner was to utilize the additional air flow with a fuel remap, would that jump the performance any? How much more air/cold air will the Carbonio provide over stock? It was my understanding that the stock air induction system is pretty good from the factory, no?
Money better spent on chip and exhaust first, but what then?
FULL carbon fiber body? bigger turbo? or even a twin turbo? reinforce the chasis? (keep it on the ground) much bigger breaks? but sorry, i just spent 34 grand on my car, and not going to spend much more on it for a while.
unless a miracle happens and i have another 30 grand, i'd bring it to a mechanic and slap on a 420hp V8, keep the stock A3 body (low profile and keep it humble) i was wondering, by deductive reasoning, if an A3 chasis and fit a 2.0 engine, and so does the A4, and if the A4 chasis can fit the RS4's 420hp V8, THEN, shouldn't the V8 fit on the A3's chasis.....with a few mods under the hood?
have you looked underneath the engine yet? it's freakin crazy, the engine and tranny goes perpendicular to the car, not parralel with the car like the other audi models, it's so small under there, they can't fit the tranny the old school way, that shit goes sideways now, it's freakin amazing!!!!
How does the Carbonio sound? I like to stockish look of it, not too concerned about adding power, thats what chipping is for. Would like to get a bit more of the sound from the turbo to the outside, less muffled sounding.
Audinam, I thought the Neuspeed RS rear bar was going to be your "last mod". The intake, from what I have read, is not worth it.
Also, all other Audis, A4 included, have longitudinally-mounted engines, whereas the A3, because it's based on the Golf chassis, have a transverse-mounted engine. So your motor swap is not going to work out.

Cold intake from Carbonio, worth my $?
