i got an A4 1.8t and wanna know if anyone feels the turbo kick in and if you guys do what RPM's does it usually happen at???? i juss wanna know cause i've been in a couple of turbo cars and always feel the pull at a certain RPM... i juss wanna know when should i feel it and what RPM??? im asking cause it feel like my turbo dont even feel like its working, i know i shoudl get a boost guage but its on its way....

thanks

 

Thats because a stock 150 HP 1.8T is retarded slow. Get a chip then you will feel the turbo.

 

yep, but if anything you should feel it in the low rpm range. your turbo will fall flat on its face towards 5k

 

haha alright, thanks. i thought it was me because it felt all retarded. i can't really feel the turbo at all, i can only feel the turbo in 3rd, i guess i got boost spikes and he boost more than it should like on and off and on and off for awhile until really high rpms then it just goes away. i was beginning to think my dv was broken, or i have a vac leak somewhere, but oh well.

i have another question, for the GIAC chip for the a4 1.8t, do those work with the k03 and the k04? because im going to upgrade my turbo soon, but i want to get a chip before i upgrade the turbo.

 

You can get a chip for anything, just tell them you have a k03 equipped and they will make software for it. If you get a bigger turbo you have to change the chip.

 

yeah, if anything you will feel the turbo "give out" as you get out of the powerband versus the "kick" hahaa

 

what do you think i should do first then? get a chip or get a k04? i don't want to waste money on a 500$ chip if i can't use it with the k04.

 

F*** the k04 it isn't any different than the k03, just has a slightly bigger compressor wheel, its only good for a few horse power over the k03 on the dyno. It just holds boost longer in the RPM range.
Upgrade to an eliminator turbo or go BT.
I would say chip your car the way it is and you will be happy.................for a while at least.

 

something like this?

i just want to get 200whp and i'll be satisfied. not looking for 300whp or something, i just don't want to drop too much money into my audi its going to be a daily driver car, and i just want it to be pretty fast to stomp and stupid ricers, today a stupid integra called me out and smiled i just drove normal, i just hear that retard in second waiting for me, but i was just driving normal. hahaha.
