Default Upgrade info/advice

Good Afternoon fellow memeber. I have been saving some money and have put together a list of part to upgrade my car with. I was wondering if anyone smarter then me (should be all of you ) had any changes they might make or advice.

My idea
K04 upgrade kit from AWE (standard program)
H&R sports springs and Bilstein shocks combo from AWE
borla exhaust
and the 710N DV
My goal is to have a faster daily driver. Im not looking for a monster or anything.
My A4 is a 1.8T QT if that helps.

Thanks for any advice or help.

the awe k04 kit is only a couple hundred less than what a gtrs setup would cost you and you'd be getting a lot more power.

torque is what kills trannies. a k04 is actually putting more stress on your tranny than a bigger turbo does. and yeah bigger injectors and fmic are needed. i forgot to add fmic to the totals so add 200 to all those.

brian, do those kits come with everything else, like oil lines and fuel pumps?

comes with everything you need except for software and injectors. with the elims i dont think you need a new fuel pump, but it does come with all the lines and gaskets you need

Well I asked for a quote from a local tuning shop on the above products i originally listed. They are also saying I have to have the following: FMIC, front engine snub mount, and Drive Train Stabilizer.

Is that a fair assesment or are they just trying to sell me some more upgrades?

thanks again for all the help
