tunning the audi
Sooooo I have a 06' A4 2.0t
and I'm looking to modify the car.. not heavily, since it will be my daily drive but to atleast see it produce some power...
What I wanna know is what companies that specialize in audi do you guys recommend me getting parts from that are quality products with good gains on performance?

check out AWE tuning for a FMIC
and read the stickies for info about intake and DV/BOV, but dont get your hopes up since there isnt much you can do and chances of cheap and easy gains are minimal. from what i have learned here those two mods are basically for sound and looks. the same goes for exhaust, you can look for a kit or universal muffler that looks and sounds good to you. for more hp try a test pipe or high flow cat.
cam gears and turbo timer, i have no clue

If you read the stickies up top you would realize most things you mentioned are not even advised for these cars.
Front mount. Intercooler (Not even remotely needed for light modding)
Intake (Not recommended for these cars as stock is good enough)
Exhausts (Stock catback is well enough free flowing. All others are just a sound mod) DP or hi flow cat only needed
Cam gears (This is not some Honda)
Turbo timer (Not needed with todays turbo's)
Blow off valve (Seriously? Did you even read the sticky?) NO NO NO NO NO
Just get an APR, REVO or Unitronic tune and test pipe go stage 2 and call it a day.

My two cents would be to try to do mods that are under $2k and stay away from forced induction. ECU reflash is a good option and exhaust work can offer some (unfortunately minimal) power gains. Take a look at web sites for APR for ECU reflashing and Milltek for various B7 exhaust options. Have fun!
