Default Newbie - mods?

Hey guys,
New to the forum - so hello.
I'm sure you get this all the time, but I didnt get much info by reading some.
What simple mods can I do to increase performance? My info is in my sig and I know there wont be much but I love the car and just want to get what I can out of it without abusing it.

Thanks!

um, sorry but there really isn't much "cheap" to make it faster


you can get a tune/exhaust/headers, not cheap, go with forced induction, not cheap, or put some juice on there, and tune for the juice, not cheap



or cheaper would be sell/trade for a 1.8t

I'd first make sure maintenance is up to date. I just spent over $1400 making sure my car is running smooth, and I'm not done, still have one thing I want to do before I starting ecu tuning, exhaust, turbo upgrade, etc..

I figured this would be the case, but thank you for the replies. When I sell this, it will be years before I buy another audi and that will be an S5 or something - so no to the 1.8t. A 2.7t swap would be sweet.

I already did all the maintenance. Timing belt done at 88k, new air filter, oil changes religiously with Castrol gtx, new tires, etc. Anything else need to be done?

Fuel filter comes to mind. It's overlooked a lot and can kill the pump if it clogs.
