I just bought my 98 audi a4 1.8t awd and I was wanting to do some small things to it. Could you please tell me the best intake and diverter valve for this car. thanks!

 

get a forge Diverter Valve (search the classifieds on audizine) or 710N also search. BOV will break your car. and intake is no good turbo is too hot and the intake on your car is pretty efficient already. look into airbox mod (sticky at the top of the page) get a chip ($500). how much money are you working with? and always use the search button at the top.

 

best intake is carbino but its pricey (not worth it) best DV is forge 007 or bailey's both pricey you can get a 710N off the TT for $30. def. get an ECU chip.

 

BOV = bad for Audi turbos.

Get a chip...and for god's sake, use the search button before asking "which chip should I get," as it's been discussed many times before. I thik there's a "sticky" about chips right under the airbox thread posted at the top of the page.

Welcome! Post up some pics!

 

Lets see your ride [sm=ttiwwp.gif]

 

forget about the intake, the stock intake is more efficient than any aftermarket companies have managed to produce for the !4. Get a Diverter Valve like the 710N or the Forge 007 if you're willing to spend a little more (still under $130).

Definitely get a chip, I suggest either APR or GIAC, theyre both perfectly good so whichever is more accessible from your location is what you should go for. I have found that GIAC is easier to obtian unless you feel like pulling your chip out of your car and mailing it to Alabama to get flashed by APR like i did..

I also suggest an aftermarket snub mount if you get chipped, because the stock engine mount doesnt hold up very well with the 90lbs of added trq the chip produces.

 

I just ordered a new 007pa, but what kind of sound could i expect out of this....thanks for your help everyone.

 

if you do the box mod or CAI you'll hear the psssssh and louder turbo spool. otherwise nothing.

 

should i just get the filter, or should i get the pipe also? what filter would be the best?

 

huh? pipe? I think you are smoking the pipe.... jk. get a drop in K&N (controversial) then follow the directions for the box mod found at the top of the page. it requires some skills like using a dremel tool oh and nun chuck skills and bow hunting skills (napoloean dynamite).

I see what pipe you're talking about. you can do either I wouldn't recommend a cold air intake cause the turbo is so hot you'll get heat soak without a phat heatshield.
