Default No tuning shops in Las Vegas

Well I guess I will have to wait for the ECU tune since there are no shops that deal with Audi's in Las Vegas. I was wondering what other mods I should be looking at besided the chip, or should I wait till the car has over a 1000 miles on it. Right now I am at 224. Just so you all know this is my first turbo car, I made the leap from american v8 power plants and I am kind of lost with all the lingo. Chef's noob info from above is helping though. Also do I need an intercooler living here in Las Vegas if I start mods.

TIA

Rob

Congrats on the ride. I think you'd be most satisfied with an ECU mod first. Huge gains for the $$$. Take a weekend ride to L.A. Mod shops galore.

Welcome!

I suggest breaking in the car properly before you start adding mods. That way, if there is any warranty issues you won't have a battle. I also suggest starting with a chip, but a CAI might not be a bad thing either considering Vegas heat. An oversized FMIC would probably help too, or just get a nitrous sprayer for those time you feel the need.

Cheers!

Surely there is a tuner in Vegas. Have you checked APR, Revo, and GIAC websites?

Thanks for the info guys,

I have checked with Revo and APR but no luck here in Vegas, I will check with GIAC though. I would have sworn there was a tuner due to the fact we have some really nice S4s and RS4's running around town but maybe they went to LA for their tunes.
