Haha, maybe I'll put the rear seats down for better airflow!

 

questions....

I want to get mine chipped, how and where is the best?

Mine shudders when i'm in sport shift mode attempting to accelerate without downshifting, could this be my plugs?

Also, one more thing, what is this gapping thing everyone is talking about??

sorry for me being naive

Shuddering is probably a misfire, caused by a bad coil pack, or fouled MAF sensor. Do a search and you'll find how to fix that. Gapping is referring to the gap on your spark plugs between the little hooky thing and the little point thing in the middle. It should be .032 on stock, .028 on chipped, reason being the additional boost can snuff out the spark, causing misfires...

Anyway, OP, glad you're loving the new power. Now get your TB done before you break something

Oh, kayakman, just tell them you put octane booster in the gas tank and did a Seafoam and you can't believe how much "lost power" you found... lol

 

The stuttering I was talking about was the plugs I changed them out ran it for a test drive and I was getting 16psi of boost

 

It could be. Do a tune-up and see where you're at. Plugs, fuel filter, air filter, etc.

 

Update...... I replaced the air filter about a month ago. Audi issued a recall on my coils so all 4 got replaced last week. The plugs are from 15k miles ago so idk if this means still newish or not. As for the MAF sensor wouldn't there be some warning light? And i've noticed it only happens a few times and always on the same RPM range.

Maybe... try cleaning it first. You can check your diverter valve (though it'd probably be more of a higher-rpm thing) and for other vacuum leaks (can really mess up low-end).

 

15K on our car is kinda old. These engines eat spark plugs for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and sometimes a midnight snack...

 

Ok i get paid in a few days and will buy plugs. but which ones are the best for the $$$??? and i don't want to spend much money like 30 max maybe 35.
