Default 96 Audi A4 2.8 L V6 Quattro aftermarket?

just bought my first audi... looking for suggestions from knowledgeable audi A4 owners on what upgrades are available and suggestions on what I should do first to it...


the car is well set visually...but i want power more than that.....it has the 5 spd manual tranny...but i know im goin to need more torque in lower gears..im willing to sacrifice top speeds to lower the 0-60...


hit me with your best suggestions for a audi newbie!

Hi A4NightRider, welcome to the forums.

There are many options depending on how much you want to spend

Exhaust
Velocity Stack
Bored MAF
Ported/polished throttle body
Cams
Electric fan kit

I don't know, it hasnt been tested on yours. It's specifically designed for the 12V.

i'm not so concerned about power, but from what i understand that electric fan kit puts less strain on the motor, is that right?

yea thats what i have been hearing too. It makes sense the fan is run off the engine and one less thing running of the engine frees up more power

This is not economical in the least bit.
