Default quick horsepower

I have an audi a4 1999 2.8 quattro and i am looking for a mod to give me like 20-50 hp gain. Does anyone know of anything that would do that other than a super or turbo charger?

negative, You can buy a chip to raise the HP something like 10-15, an exhaust may help with another 10 if you are lucky. The 2.8 30 valve just isn't that tunable (except the S.C.)

yes, supercharger (PES brand)

http://www.giacusa.com makes the chip, but you have to find a distributor. It's really not that great of a value for the price. They have a listing of retailers on there website.

Chip + Exhaust...heck..while your at the bank, might as well get the supercharger.

The chip is like $300 and exhaust will run ya $6-800 + installation.
So we're talkin like $1500 for about 20 pony's.

haha flyboy, Spray 'n Pay [8D]
