I am new to euro cars and tunning them but recently I got intrested in buying on for weekend racing and daily driving I always respected audi espically after racing s4 in my previous car a mitsubishi eclipse gs-t wich comes with a stock turbo and 4g63 engine if your not fimiliar these engines have a big problem technical phrase is "crank walk" which is when car was particaly design by americans and well you know .... its like a red neck cookin shrimp low mein but the bottom end of car lack of oil flowage which wore out crank bearing ( am sure you guys love jap cars) past but back to the topic are a4 good for tunning for a couple races in weekend and daily driving also is tuning them going to be a problem since these car are more sophisticated?? any help would be very help ful and apreiciated.

 

welcome to the forums, dreamz. there will be quite a few guys flaming you shortly, don't let them discourage you.

that being said..yes, audis are one of the most modable german cars out there...the 1.8T A4 has pretty much anything you could've gotten for your dsm...there probably aren't as many options as dsms, only a handful of tuners out there making serious turbo kits and drivetrain parts...browse the forum for a while and you'll find all kinds of info...at the top of this forum there's a 'sticky thread' (stays at the top of the forum) called "Audi Links"...most of the popular tuners are listed there

 

the a4 is a very tunable car i dont think you would be dissapointed, with a few grand it could put your old car to shame

 

ya you can tune the a4 a bit

 

The Quattro 1.8T A4 is very moddable, especially for your purposes. There aren't the extreme race A4s like there are Eclipses; the fastest A4 ET is 11.1 @ 124mph, but for daily driving+trackdays there aren't very many competing affordable solutions, IMO. They're very, very nice to drive daily, and sporty enough to really enjoy at the track. There are plenty of turbo kits, plenty of supporting aftermarket companies, and plenty of enthusiasts.

 

nice yea i didnt expect that many options since i know the guy who beat me with his s4 he told me it be hard to find and compare parts well that is comparing it to dsm but i think its worth it oh yea and how hard would it be to tune it would i actaully need to take to tuners shop or could i do most of work my self, the first thing i noticed that euro engines all have plastic covering all over and am sure ecu are more delicate when tunning them for a lack of better words also what year/sub model should i look out for ?

-thnx for warning bentframe

 

well since your going to tune get teh 1.8t becuase you can do so much to it. the 2.8 sucks for moding so dont get it

 

...and expect to pay more for every mod you get...

you're not touching a decent exaust for under $800 (and that's cat-back)
the only intake worth getting is about "tree-fiddy"

...oh, and it's smart to keep a grand in the kitty with these cars too..

 

yea i kinda expected that too how much would i have to pay average to get car around 300 hp ??
with some mods like 2.5 exhaust and ram/cold air intake and turbo exhaust manifold fuel pump some like 600cc injectors and upgraded fuel rail spark park plugs and wires wait do 99 come with coil packs ?? sorry if am not mentiond brands am not to firmilair with them yet

 

for 300whp your lookin at about 3400 turbo kit and a 800 exhaust at least but you wouldnt be dissapointed with that
