Default 04 1.8t Stock Needs some Speed/Acceleration

Hi all,
Ive had my audi for awhile now and although it is fun to drive, i need something to give it a little kick and something fairly easy to install (plug-in etc.).

Any suggestions? Just looking at something to optimize the performance, speed, acceleration, quickness, maybe even better gas mileage lol.

If you recommend something, can you provide a link to where to purchase. Looking for something under $400. And yes, ive searched the forums.

Under $400 is tough - $500 buys you a stage 1 chip from just about every tuner out there, which usually leads to $200 for an upgraded diverter valve to handle the additional boost. Perhaps save some money over the next month or two and go that route when you've got more like $700 to spend?

Look for tuner chip GB's and if the BPV needs to be upgraded you can always get a 710N bosch valve.

Great, thanks. I will save a couple more bucks.

Will I notice a pretty good difference with a stage 1 apr chip? I only would want to spend $700 if i can tell I added something.

Thanks again and I will start looking at those. Any particular brand? I dont want something that starts throughing my CEL.

Thanks fellas.

Yes you will. What you will notice the most is the tq down low. They should have dyno charts showing how the chip will effect the power band.

It ends today, actually if you buy from a APR dealer the dealer has to have the order into APR by today.
