Hey people,

Ok so I'm slowly building my car, Audi A4 99 1.8TQ which my order bro treated like crap. I have an aftermarket DV, Full exhaust, cone filter style setup producing a nice little bo with an aftermarket heat shield to protect the filter from heat. I have a RA4 clutch from ECS Tuning coming in within a few days, once installed I will chip the car at BSR. I have already bought a garret boost gauge and turbo smart MBC which will be installed the same day the chip is hopefully. So my first question, could I run 18 or so psi safely with all this?

Second, other than I turbo upgrade, where can I go from here performance wise?

I also plan on some new wheels, lowering springs, new brake rotors in the near future.

any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

 

as a tip, skip the mbc. the n75 will run your boost just fine, even better.

otherwise, you can get a cat delete pipe to gain a few extra horses

as for brakes, look for a budget big brake setup. many go with a8 rotors/tt carriers. i plan on dong b5 s4 brakes sometime when i get around to it

 

Have a spare set of calipers if you need.

 

hp2's? if so pm me.

 

The MBC is so I can increase the psi, if I planned to keep the psi as it is after the tune, I would not consider the MBC. Yeah brakes upgrade is certainly on the list.
