Default Can't feel boost

I just recently switched from an 89 Toyota Supra Turbo to a 98 Audi A4 1.8T.

Thing is I'm not feeling or hearing boost hitting, is the car supposed to be like this? Is it just me?

^^ Nice, you're in the Chicago burbs? I'm in Glendale Heights.

Yeah... I guess you're right..lol. The reason I sold my Supra was to get out of the "modding game"... and here I am, looking to mod my 1.8T. Sheesh.

Wow, great tastes! I just bought a 2001 A4 1.8t to be my sports car. Then I realized that although 1.8t's have lots of mods, they can't really be made into dragsters without serious cash. Anyhow, I decided the best way to satisfy my lust for performance would just be to buy an 80's beater sports car. A Trans Am or a Z28 would be fast but I deffinetly like the coolness of a turbocharger in a Supra or an RX7.

I live just up Rt. 64 in St. Charles BTW

Have you ever been to the Mod Shop right off of Army Trail and Gary? Theres always at least 5 supras there

O yea, and to answer your question, get your self a chip. $400 will get you like 70lb of torque which amounts to a lot less turbo lag. Im just waiting for my 1 month warrenty to expire.
