Default Just started upgrading.

I just recently bought my first Audi S4, 2000. It was everything I thought it would be. I bought it with 67,000 miles and gave it a fresh tune-up. After the tune-up, I went and got the APR modification, Stage-I. I was wondering what would be the next proper upgrade for this car, I.E. new diverter valves, down pipes, etc. Let me know whats good.


P.S. The turbos are stock but still very good.

How long did it take you to find that clip? 5 minutes? maybe more? In that time you could of givin this person some real advise instead he\she got an atitude. Not everyone is computer savvy. So to answer your question. I would look into new Diverter Valves to help hold the extra boost pressure that your making with your new tune. Also remeber proper warm up and cool down processes to extend the life of your turbos. I would also do the darintake mod on your intake. It is a cheap mod that allows your turbos to breath a bit better. I didnt do the Z-flo, i just added a K&N drop in filter instead.

Hope your enjoying your new car and tune!

BPV, down pipes or even upgrading the dual SMIC's so keep those IAT's down.


Might also look at upgrading your engine/transmission mounts and the rear diff mount if you are getting that clunk when shifting gears.

I though that vid was informative, and funny.

The biggest factor is the amount of money you want to spend. You probably should start with the DVs. Boost guages will allow you to monitor the boost, maybe invest in a VAGCOM (if you dont have one) or find someone who does have one.

Are you looking for added performance? style? handling? is it a manual? Post some info about your car in your signature, and get some pics uploaded.
