Thanks for the welcome. I can't wait to start the mods. Don't have much experience with Audi's, been mostly BMW and MB guy. Any suggestions.

if you provide the type of engine, that would help out a bit.

i'm going to guess you got the 2.0T. it's a great engine with lots of potential. i beat the crap out of mine sometimes but i know that it was worth the money i spent haha. driving in D can be a little boring but in S mode, you'll absolutely love the response from the gas pedal. i had test driven a base model a4 and i liked the softness of the suspension of bumps. however, i ordered mine with the sport package because i care about performance more than comfort. i'm glad i made that choice because the difference is pretty high between the non sport and sport suspension

yes it's a 2.0T. I tried the sport package and like the suspension, but the car is more for my wife and child so I opted for the normal suspension. Once I get my hands on it in 2/3 years, I plan on lowering with suspension anyways.

what kind of engine upgrades can i do, like it said its my wifes car for now. thinking intake, exhaust, and maybe even a chip. i hear there is a lot for the 2.0T litre engine.

for mods you can get a chip. that's the best bang for the buck. you can also upgrade the exhaust and add a front mount intercooler.

for chips, APR is popular. check them out at goapr.com
