How can i yank more horses out of this little b5 of mine? i hear the ecu's are sensitive to black boxes...and the safest way to raise boost levels is chipping it. my question is this, with the aid of a new turbo...no nos...how can i yank more hp out of this beast? (maybe a slightly nubish post but i'm new to audi, spare me stupid answers...i need direction)

Really depends on how much you're willing to spend. For a $500 chip you get about 50 hp and aroung 60ft/lbs of torque.

 

thx bacon. i'm lookin for a little bit more power. around the 300hp range. money isnt a concern...i have around 3570.oo to spend.

 

Ko4 with programing, Exhaust, DV, etc ..
Or go even bigger then t he Ko4

 

It's my long lost rich uncle!

To reach 300 hp, you're going to need a little more than a K04. What year B5 do you have?

 

hahaha, idk about uncle....i have a 1999 non quattro.

 

with 300hp youll be spinnin those front wheels forever with no quattro. and are you tiptronic or manual?

 

The worlds most powerful FWD had I believ 330hp tested by Top gear it was an Alfa Romeo or something. As stated 300hp will have you spinning the wheels, sell the car and put the money you have on a down payment for a B5 S4

 

Its FWD ?
OH ...

 

i'm not necessarily worried about the spinning, the only time ill be doing anything that would require the tires to spin will be a the track....and in that event..slicks..but yes,i'm aware of the slip issue, its a challenge-thus the reason for me buying a FWD 1.8T. my goal will be to get possibly high 13's, low 14's...thats all- so if less hp is needed for this, please let me know *(save my a$$ some money )*
