I am going to be getting a 2000 A4 1.8t at the end of March. My buddy's got the Avant model and I've gotta be faster. I've been looking around at chips, short shifters, cold air kits, clutches, diverter valves, everything.
I'm trying to figure out what to buy for my car with $2000 to get the most performance out of my car. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
RE: I've got $2000 to put into my car. What do I do?
I could do plenty with $2k
Diode mod with a nice boost gauge and mbc (diode $0.25, mbc $45-100, boost gauge $40-60)
- $80-160
Test pipe - $160
Catback - $700 ($500 for custom with magnaflow muffler)
ebay ic - $400
upgraded pads F&R ($100-120)
ebay short shifter ($30)
bpi flow stack intake $90
That still leaves you about $250 for misc stuff if needed.

I got my IC for $189 shipped and handled. Then again, I had to do a *TON* of fabricating.
If you went my route, you can save yourself like $200 and put that in with the other $250. $450 is good for a high-flow exhaust manifold.

High flow on a stock turbo is only good for another 5whp and thats only on the spike. Not really worth the money spent.
