First off,nice guide[8D]Any ideawhat is CARB legal and would pass CA Smog?

 

wow you are a god right now, its like u read my mind its all i was talking about at work today. thank you very much. now i can get a real idea of the work im gettin myself into.

 

no clue. my car is illegal on a number of different levels lol but as long as you keep the catalytic converter, you should be fine. the elim setups or APR's stage 3 upgrade (hella expensive) should all be completely street legal


haha thanx. i've gotten multiple pm's and saw all those threads about BT these past couple weeks, so i figured i would make a thread to help everyone out

 

I got a stock a4 1999, 1.8t and have about 5 grand to spend for turbo plus supporting mods. It terms of performace x reliability what do you think the best option would be?

 

^Just take off the intake filter its sooper restrictive. Without the whole intake it can flow like 500cfm more, its amazing. With this mod you should be seeing 200-250hp for stock.

 

what are your goals? do you just want the most power you can get for 5g's? care about spool? just want a kit, or willing to piece everything together? need it to be street legal?

 

what is the benifit of having the vr6 maf?
any year in particular?

 

its not really a benefit, just what the tune is written for. bigger turbo's need a bigger intake. the 440cc file uses a 3" maf (vr6 or tt225) the 630cc file uses a 4" maf (ford lightning)

 

if you are looking for decnet #'s, which would keep you reliable...... and not hard to figure out what to get


get the apr kit..... it is one of, if not the most expensive ways to go...... but you will get good #'s and stay reliable like you want


they claim 340hp on their stage 3 kit

so we need a fuel pump for 630cc injectors?

and what about he ebay tubular manifolds?
