stock turbo question...
Hey guys new to this site, and fairly new to the audi scene, had aan 02' 4.2 A6, loved it, someone smashed into it while it was parked totalled and now decided to go with the smaller, less gas thirsty A4 its an 03', love the car amazing in the snow looks sexy and not too bad on gas. I know absolutly nothing about turbos other than the obvious. Wondering if there's a simple or cheap way to get any more boost out of my stock one. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.
Chip is the best bang for your money, eahaust would also be a plus or go straight with a Stage II chip and add injectors the the parts above with upgraded DV power should be boosted to around 230-240bhp figures if i'm correct.
exhaust is the most minimal gain for the money. 1.8T's have duals, no reason to upgrade until you go stage 3, 3+, and anything else is pretty much for the looks or sounds.
If you're looking into getting more power and keeping stock turbo, look up APR stage 1+ ecu. To prepare your car for chipping all that you really NEED to do is get a new Diverter Valve (~$130). Optional other upgrades include a boost gauge (www.podi.ca) which is more nevessary, and maybe an intake like a Carbonio (less necessary, but cool as hell). Chipping itself will run you $500 + cost of injectors (~$400? at least, unless used), plus installation. (Performance figures are on APR's website) Pretty much, set aside a grand.
