i have a 2004 1.8t A4. what performance parts should i do to this car. i have a APR chip and evo motorsparts intake and its not enough what else should i do.</P>

 

well how much do you want to spend???? <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

 

i just looking for basic bolt ons. price doesnt matter. i dont want to upgrade the turbo or do anything big like that.

 

exhaust, dv, n75, fmic, wheels/tires, suspension

 

whats a n75 and fmic?<IMG src=smileys/smiley8.gif border="0">

 

fmic = Front Mounted InterCooler
n75 valve is a boost control valve. In most cases upgrading the n75 doesn't do much. I am not even sure if its been proven to help at all. Lots of people have had problems, and I don;t really recall anyone saying they got any performance additions. That doesn't mean no one has ever seenany though I guess.

The fmic will help you though.

you have a Borla already? How do like it? I haveb een considering it for my 1.8t.

 

Hey,I was just wondering how you have 275 HP on your 2004 1.8t. Or did you just put that on there because that's your goal.</P>


I have a 2003model which is the same, but no 6 speed, unfortunately. If you'rerunning an APR chip, you might want to get an aftermarket diverter valve. I took brrman's advice to get one, because the additional boost that the APR chip makes will wear out your stock diverter valve. Some people like the Forge Motorsport diverter valve, which you can see on the www.a4stuff.com website. Or, you can go with the Bailey's diverter valve from the www.awetuning.com website, which is what I ordered, but it's currently on backorder for our cars. I chose the Bailey's diverter valve, because AWE Tuning is a pretty well respected Audi performance company. I just have to wait for the damn thing to come in now. </P>


Also, the front mount intercooler is always a good thing to go with. I would recommend the APR one that will be coming out for the 2002 and up models soon. APR knows their stuff too. But then... You said price doesn't matter, so why not wait for the APR Stage 3 Turbo upgrade to come out for the 2002 and up models. 300+ HP is what they tell me the upgrade will be putting out. I think that that's the best you can do without goingcrazy and redoing your internals.</P>


Hey, brrman. Check out www.c3cars.com. They have some cool video clips. Oh yeah, they also have some clips of the APR guys explaining how their stuff works. It's cool!</P>

 

sweet! thanks for the link!
