Default Performance on a 2.8L B5???

Hi guys, I've got a 99.5 A4 with the 2.8L 5spd, and am having a hard time finding bolt on power. The only thing I am solid on is the full Milltek Cat back. I am waivering on the GIAC chip,as it's only really good for 5hp. Last is an intake...who really makes the most effective? Will I see a better gain from the GIAC after doing the intake and exhaust? Opinions? Idea's?

Has anyone ever put No2 on thier cars? Especially the 1.8T? THat would be sick!!!

Oh yeah and +1 for the supercharger unless you want to attempt a remote turbo app. But good luck with that.

Well, in a perfect world, the PES S/C would be the way to go, but considering I have not purchased the car yet, and that a S/C would cost well over $5k installed,it would probabl be money better spent to go with an S4..

well if you havent purchased the car yet, then i would advise you to rethink your decesion on the 2.8, if you want mods..

the 1.8 is much more equppied to be modded
