Default First mod ideas for my 99 A4 1.8T

Well i got a used 99 A4 1.8T auto with the tiptronic this weekend, and im just wondering what are some mods i should look into. Right now its stock, im thinking about a new intake but after that im not sure what else i should look into, maybe a bov and a chip. im not really looking for exterior mods mainly engine mods. Thanks

Yep, and possibly a tiptornic chip if youd like faster and firmer shifts

Panda I dont think he was talking about going for BT setup, or even a ko4.

You should start with an ECU flash and get a new diverter valve.
Then look into a GIAC tipchip to make the shifts quicker.

Things sure have calmed down around here. I remember the days when ppl would get flamed badly for statements like this.

Oh yeah and always search before you ask questions. This gets asked almost everyday. Don't waste your money on intake, it will do nothing for you. Put that money towards a chip from GIAC or APR.
