1999 audi a4 1.8t just a couple questions
the short shifters make u hit ur gear way sooner so ur foot wouldnt b on the clutch as long so ur already in 2ed as the other person still is switching...
and u sed something about Dv? wat does that do if u dont mind me asking.. and about the boost gange does that even really matter that much? i was going to get it, that was just a given lol
And joe if u dont mind answering.. wats the difference from the 2001 and the 1999? is it the tiptronic trans?? i heard those can b a pain in the bum.. just asking..
i looked up the water punp only $53 or somethign and a new timing belt $30 but if i would have to replace everything than $160.. my proces might not b right on..

the dv is kind of like a blow off valve except it recirculates the air back into the system, the factory one will not really hold up to the upgraded preasure(specially not with 100k on it)
the 99 and the 01 look alto differnet, have different motors, and different power ratings.... advantage 99
stronger internals
throttle body cable
bigger port head/manifold
disadvantage to most
the exterior
advantage 01
exterior
more power from factory
disadvantage
if you go bt, need to upgrade internals for most applications
most get the aeb head
if you have any other questions just keep asking them here, don't start 10 threads like alot of the other noobs do...... but if you would read the newbie guide alot of this would be answered there

It's a consensus around here that the first thing you should do to make your car "kinda beastly," is to search for GIAC and get your ECU reprogrammed with more aggressive software for approximately $500. When you do this, there is no telling when it will happen, your Diverter Valve (also known as dv) will most likely be blown off due to the increased pressure your turbo is producing for you... to remedy this, people get an aftermarket dv straight away to avoid it from ever happening (the company 'Forge' is popular) for another ~$150.
This process will make your car faster than it was, but it won't beat your friend's camaro... corvette engine or not. If you want to beat a camaro, you need to look into buying a larger turbo and a better exhaust system.

I have seen that the APR puts out the same numbers overall, but GIAC gives the car more bottom end performance which makes the car seem faster because all your power is for accelerating from a stop. I don't have either, so I can't really help, but I think APR is usually what the b6 owners get.
