This would be my 1st that i would be able to mod. I dont think id so to much. Chip, intake blow-off valve... stuff like that. thats where the volvo lacks is the aftermarket... and i like the audi over the BMW. Does it take alot of money to make these things run a ok 1/4 miles.... like a low 14????
first thing is there's no blow-off valve in audi's. audi's use whats called a diverter valve. it reciriculates the air instead of blowing it into the atmosphere. this is crucial since audi's use a close loop turbo system. a BOV will ruin it. after chipping it tho some people have been able to use hybrid BOV's with no problems. as long as u take car of the 1.8T it will last u well into the 100k range and i've seen some hit 200k. a4's really aren't quarter horses and are much faster on the highway. chip and intake should get you into the high 14's if it's a manual. another couple hundred bucks should get you down into the low 14's.

I getting a car so that i can keep up with my friends. lol So im up against a 2004 GTO, 2006 dodge neon SRT-4, evo 7, Rx7 TT. and 350z. I know it wont keep pace, but its also more then half the price of there cars. theres a track up the highway here where we race, and as long as i can somewhat keep in there rear veiw mirrow. can have the CPU reprogramed to push more boost like you can on the volvo closeloop turbo?

LOL, you better get a turbo manual, then be ready to drop a big turbo in there if you want to keep up with that crowd!!!

****, the 350 is 300hp, the rxTT has got some ponies as well I would think, you need to buy a faster ride, or get a big turbo kit!!!!

At least you'll keep up with them in the twisties!

thats a tough crowd to keep up with. on the highway especially in turns you'll keep up after a few mods. theyll probly still beat you but it wont be too horribly bad. my advice: get a k04. there are other turbos out there that are faster but this is by far the cheapest to put in and it adds quite a nice little boost of power. k04, chip, intake, exhaust, dv, 5 bar FPR, bigger injectors, and a boost controller and you'll be lookin at them in your rearview, well most of them.
