my cousin has a 97 audi a4 1.8t and he wants some more power, but is there any turbos out there that would be really easy to install, like to just take the old turbo out and put a new turbo in and your done? if there is any turbos like that can you guys please give me some names or links, thanx!!!!

 

closest thing to taht would be the k04 but you would probably need new programing at the least

 

o ok thanx, what would happen if he doesnt get new programing? hp gains? lol that reply was fast

 

you need other supporting mods to accompany a bigger turbo including a new chip (software tuning) injectors, exhaust, fpr, intake, mbc,and fmic.
If he wants more power, maybe 50hp extra, he can get JUST a chip and new diverter valve and be set. Any more than that, and he's looking at big turbo/big money. Tell your cousin to join and start using the search.
Tell your cousin to check out www.giacusa.com or www.goapr.com for chip tuning.

 

ooo ok, but hes a bit on the broke side, ill tell him about it tomorrow, why is it bad to put a BOV on an audi? my cousin wanted one on his so it would sound cool when he shifts lol

 

BOV's are bad because well, Audi's aren't made to work with them. BOV's let the air out into the atmosphere, Audi's use DV's which are a closed loop system...

 

making cars go faster and being broke dont mix. BOV's are bad for audi's because BOV's blow off air that the engine is expecting and preparing A/F adjustments for.. So if you blow off air, youre going to have a rich A/F ratio which leads to all sorts of bad things. A diverter valve recirculates the airthat a bov would normaly vent off to the atmosphere.

 

o cool i just learned something lol, yea he needs to save up.
what do you guys think of this>

The part description and the picture of that turbo differ. From the looks of it, it definately will not fit a passat/a4. Even if it would work, youd need a k04 chip, and other supporting mods that are out of the question since your cousin is broke, so why are we even talking about it? [&:]

 

i dont belive that will fit because the way that the compressor is facing

hey onepoint8tee your sig works it magic
