Default Need advice on upgrades

Hello all. I am in need of some advice on the best upgrades to buy. I have been reading all the posts for a few days but am having a tough time making a final decision.

I just bought some OZ Gallelio III 18X8.5 rims black cant wait for those...I want to also chip it, get some DV's and maybe a BiPipe kit. Any suggestions on what brands to buy would be greatly appreciated. So far im leaning towards the GAIC Chip the Bailey DV's and the APR BiPipe.

Looks like I wont be taking any vacations this summer!
I will get some pics up soon when I get my rims on att he end of May.

Thanks

Hey, whats up. I have an 01 B5 S4 and here's what i've got so far...GIAC chip, Diverter Upgrades, piggy downpipe, Borla exhaust, APT FMIC Kit. Next up is Samco hoses and the list goes onand on...I would first chip, DV's, FMIC, downpipe and exhaust. So far, I've gotten great results.

I guessing you have a B5? Start with a chip and work your way up. After the chip would probably be catback, intake, and downpipes; I would go in that order. Need to get some DVs when you do those upgrades or right after those 4. Everything after that is just building up parts to take the load of K04 turbos are their full potential.

If its a manual you'll need to do clutch/flywheel early on and if its a tip. you'll want to eventually build the tranny.

sorry i should have mentioned thatI have a 01 S4 (B5) 6 speed of coarse. So help me out here whatthe piggy downpipe and brand you recconmned? As for the samco hoses which hoses should be replaced. I used to work in an auto parts store for 8 years but we didnt really deal much with Audi's or performance parts so i am somewhat clueless.

I think I am gonna buy the GAIC chip and the bailey DV valves along with the APR BiPipe. Then I might think about an intake...would that be the darintake?

As for the clutch replacement would that be if i changed the turbo's or is there a need to change it before that? Not sure if its needed if I am just chipping it for now?

Thanks for the insights so far!
