Default 97 A6 What mods can be done ?

So I'm new to the A6, and have heard there are many mods that can be done for performance. Not sure what to do so I'm a bit confused. Have heard many things can be done with the Vagcom but not sure what to look for or what ports to open or close. Any inputs.
Thanks

What engine do you have? that makes a massive difference as to what mods you can do.

Well. theres not as much for your car as there is the 2.7t but theres still a bit to be done. There is a Giac chip/exhaust/intake combo you can buy that should only be a couple grand for all three for a decent power upgrade. Wish I could remember what site but I have given up on tuning my 06 a6 4.2 so I dont remember alot of the places. But with the tuning of any car you have basically the same options. On the more expensive side there are displacement kits/pistons/ new head to do maybe a supercharger/turbo on the really expensive end.

Okay waht about Vagcom, are there certain power restrictions that can be opened up that will give more performance. I understand allot is locked down by the maufacture to make it a US based model. I've heard the Euro model is more powerful.

vagcom, is a diagnosis software........ chip/tunning is the way to go to unlock all the power that you lil 2.8 has....... sorry, there really isn't much you can do to a n/a motor... intake and exhaust, maybe s/c it, nitrous, get custom built manifold(s) and turbo(s).....sell it and get a 2.7t.....blah...... i wish more people would come here and ask before buying cars then getting them wanting to make speed racers out of them and being all mad cause there is nothing to do to it

hey, you could keep your 2.8 buy a tt and play with it
