I just bought a 2001 a4 1.8T. (Best car yet) Just wanna keep up with all the new Audi news and new parts. I am also learning about my car. MY friend owns an S4 and his turbo is very noticeable when it is spooling, are the A4's more discreet or do I have a problem.

 

Hi ALL*AUDI, welcome to the forums. Your friend drives an S4 which is a performance car, you drive an A4, which is not.

 

I understand that. What can I do to keep up with his?

 

Perhaps look into chipping the ECU or maybe a bigger (k04) turbo upgrade?

 

I can keep up with stock s4s easily, i have a ko4 and some other stuff. Also have taken many other cars,z28 camaros, and others. There performance cars you just need to drop some love in em.

 

i would love to drop a K04 in my A4

Hi,

I'm new to the forum (just joined today) and I own a 2003 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro. I want to increase the horsepower and people have told me about chipping. I wanted to find out more information on this and was wondering if anyone here can tell me the difference chipping will make, how long the process takes, how much it costs, and where I would get it done. Also, please do let me know what, if any, risks are involved. I live in San Diego and there are 2 Audi dealerships here... would they do the reprogramming or is it done independently?

Thanks!

 

Please do not tack your message on to another old message, create a new one. This forum is for introductions not specific questions. If you have specific questions please ask them in the A4 forum. I must warn you though, asking those questions (pertaining to engine chips) will probably get you flamed. It is best to use the search button first because they have been asked and discussed to end.
