Just like to say hi & a few q's
Hey guys,
like to introduce myself here,name is Hank.
I am a noob here, & just bought a used 08 A4 Sline 2.0 T FWD ,my 04 1/2 VW GLI got totaled.
I would like to do some mods to my A4 for more performance HP wise.
I know about chipping a vehicle,& am concidering a APR chip or Revo.
Just was wondering what are some easy low dollar basic mods I can do to make it run better. Like a electric fan for the intercooler.
Lower temp thermostat, OK,not OK to do?
Install a methanol injection kit?
N75 valve?
Things of this nature.
One more thing,I would like to have a boost gauge & mount,,what is out there that you guys like?
Thanks
& hope to stay here & learn for some time.

umm im gonna start off and say please search the list of threads before you post because it only shows that you didn't even try to look for them
intercooler fan - bad idea
k&n air filter - good idea, no hp gains but you'll have to get it for the chip your thinking about
meth injection is pretty serious i don't think its pratical to have a meth injection before considering a larger turbo, fmic, exhaust, so on
boost gauge - a few companies make boost gauges and fit kits that go around the stalk of your steering wheel but my personay favorite is the boost gauge in the drivers A/C vent
you will need a new DV forge motorsports makes a really good one that holds up to pretty much anything

intercooler fan - bad idea Why?
k&n air filter - good idea, no hp gains but you'll have to get it for the chip your thinking about How about it causes for quicker turbo spool up time?
meth injection is pretty serious i don't think its pratical to have a meth injection before considering a larger turbo, fmic, exhaust, so on.
Alky, Progressive adjustable kits start @ $360 not too far out of the practical range,,,is it?
Adding meth to a small turbo super heating the air out of it's effiency range, that's when you do install a methanol kit especially.
I am curious if people here have used them,,, & if so what kit works good.
Instead of modding the front end,in order to install a FMIC I would rather go w/chemiccal intercooling,,,if posssible. @ least that is what I am leaning torwards.
I own a Syclone & have meth injection installed. Works great & keeps the KR's down & allows for more boost,more timing,,,more so than a FMIC IMO.
boost gauge - a few companies make boost gauges and fit kits that go around the stalk of your steering wheel but my personay favorite is the boost gauge in the drivers A/C vent
I am considering that,who makes the AC vent one?
