Hey everybody. I have been checking this forum out for about a month and getting all the info I can about the wonderful world of Audi. I was going to wait until I had the car in my posession before posting, but I found myself with a lot of down time. I will be picking my car up in the next couple of days.

A4 B7 2.0T
Sport Package
Premium Package
Tiptronic

I am in Germany with the US Army and won't be in country to enjoy driving my car all the time but I would like to do some modding so I can enjoy it on the Autobahn until my return to SoCal in 2007. What I plan is to chip it, APR or GIAC. From what I hear the APR has a better power curve. New Exhaust, thinking Borla or Milltek. I think whichever is quieter. New DV, don't know if the 710N will still work... need to research this more. K&N Filter. My question/s are: when can one expect these aftermarket parts to be available? In your opinion will the HP and torque gains from the parts listed be too much for the Tip? And is there something I left out?

Anyways, I'd say I will post pictures when I get my car, but seeing as it is all stock right now, I don't think anybody would be too interested. Oh yeah, this is a long shot, but does anyone know of a good tuner shop in Germany that has English speaking mechanics?
