i dont really need much power and im usually only driving in the mountains as this is where i will be living with the car for the next 3 years (school).
but i was thinking intake/exhaust and a new ecu for maps and to take off the limiter. i will be getting suspension, wheels/tires and brake upgrades for safety and handling but is there anything i can do to just give it a bit more power?
im not asking for an S4 maybe just 200bhp. i believe i should port and polish to get sum more hp, but does anyone know where i can get it done and how much will they charge me?

http://forums.audiworld.com/12v/ do a search at this forum, you will come up with a lot of answers, search throttle body bore and Mass air flow housing bore or hacksaw, things along those lines, good luck, let me know if you have more questions

Port and polish the heads will be around 2K then you'll need to extrudehoned the intake manifold and get a short ram intake. After that you'll need headers and an exhaust , but you should be able to pick up 25hp for about 3-4K [&:]

F!@#!!! hm, maybe i will just stick to suspension and the downhills what about an ecu upgrade? would that be less expensive?

port and polish is only part of it if your going to push for power, water tracks, oil tracks, skimming the cylinder heads to the max plus heaps more

Light weight wheels among other LW parts like a carbon hood/trunk

Intake and exhaust are the cheapest way to make power other than the silly gas
