Default finnaly a car i love

just the other day i got an 01 Audi 1.8 A4t. white on tan interior with black doors and floor. inside and out is %100. bought for around 12.
got a few questions. how much boost is the turbo? anyway to get a cheap chip to make it more? anything inexpensive i could do for the turbo? this is the first turbo i have had, dont know much about it. i understand how it works, basically just pushes more air into the motor or whatever. anyways, i realy like it. havent had a 5speed in a while so its nice to rip around town again. also, i thought i could swap out the 01' radio for a newer one, or atleast a Navigation screen with radio and cd player. just found what to look for and they are like 600-900 bucks!! i would have never guessed. guess thats why i have always had american cars. heh. anyways, just wanted to throw a few questions out there, also to introduce myself.... Brian.. heh.... c ya guys and girls


ps:.......................... anyone know of an audi club or whatever i could get some tips from locally? Boca Raton , FL.....

American factory radios cost just as much...especially Navi. Just go aftermarket on the radio and you should be happy. Chips usually run about $500....APR/Neuspeed/GIAC...etc are good ones....search around. This site is full of good reading. oh and it's A4 1.8T ..did you get quattro? Somebody might be able to answer this better, but I think boost is around 5-8psi?

it isnt a quattro. as far as the boost psi.. can i do anything with " the turn of a screw? " basically i am asking if i can just tune whats in there to get more out of it, i know factory never uses %100 of anything...?

nothing with the turn of a screw I don't think. Everything has be adjusted to compensate electronically...A chip will do it for you though.....
