welcome to the forums - :)

use the search function in the A4 section & u can find alot of answers to questions
that have been asked before... Best springs / shocks... chips pricing etc..

* Turbo timer justs keeps ur engine running after youve shut of ignition, so your turbos can cool down.

*Blow off Valve vents air (preventing compressor surge) into the atmosphere when throttle is lifted / closed.
(making that loved/hated pssht noise)

I highly recommend you read / research this topic. Your car comes stock w/ a Diverter valve -
basically still doing teh same function - just recircing back into the intake instead of the atmosphere to make noise.



hope that helped a little..:D

well here is what I'd do.


Lower it - springs - H&R/Bilstein combo
- coilovers - Statis/ vogtland/ H&R/KW

ECU - chip it - GIAC, REVO

exhaust - for me, Remus (expensive but sounds like heaven), more economical- magnaflow,

Turbo - you probably will want to do a swap - for moderate increases - K04 swap
- for big gains - GT series turbo or a KKK hybrid
