Default How to make a stock A4 faster

Hey guys, I've been the proud owner of an 05' A4 1.8T Quattro for about a year now. I really want to get some info on how to speed up my A4 a little. I would really like to increase my HP and acceleration (since the a4 1.8's are very slow off the line). I do however currently have a lease with the car till next year so I don't want to do anything to radical that will void my warranty, etc. Any ideas?

Also enjoy this pic of the thousands of bugs that adorned my grill on a recent trip to Mammoth.

chipping is a good idea, slightly expensive tho, its around 500, if its a lease, and a year left on it - kinda not worth it, imo. you can also do exhaust, either buy one, minimum of 500, or have a shop weld one for you, around 2-300. other than that, i hear decals add madd hp.

Honda emblems don't add power, stupid... Type R emblems are where the power is! The "H" doesn't do anything for you at all!

Yeah, this is pretty obvious... go get your car revo'd. There are DEALERS that do it... so they won't be screwing you on warranty, if they did the flash. If you want to make it even faster, get it revo'd using their injector software... and buy the 225HP TT injectors to go with it... you'll have a totally new car.

ya I read somewhere that the ECU keeps track of how many times it's been re-flashed.
