Easy Upgrades For My New A4???

[mikk@]

Just picked up an 00' A4T, Manuel, 150k, black, tan leather, 1 owner for $7k with 12 months rego.

Already installed a k/n pod and looking for other easy mods to give i a bit more oomf. Boost up maybe??

Anyway, any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Be warned that the k&n may stuff up the maf sensor due to it being oil based.

I don't know about MBCs, these cars tend to run lean and cause damage when you try that. Maybe up 1-2psi, but probably not worth it.

APR or GIAC are the main 2 choices as far as chips go, around $1400 for GIAC and a little more for APR. It's definitly the best bang for buck. Seb in Girraween for GIAC and derek in Mona Vale for APR are the closest two to you I think.

A boost controller isn't the way to go. The cost of getting it wrong would be far more than having the ECU done properly.

Manuel?



I think you meant manual?

Please, continue.

will a manual boost controller increase the fuelling??

is the a4 a quattro, because if it is, it already has a larger turbo..? (someone correct me?)

a chip/front mount IC/exhaust system/lighter wheels will make you go faster.. just depends on much monies you want to part with..

It was a 7k car remember... I'd just chip it and put a nice BOV and leave it at that

No, a MBC just reduces the air going to the wastegate, so the wastegate may only see 10PSI while the intake manifold has 15PSI. It doesn't do anything to the amout of fuel. Some cars ECUs will increase the amount of fuel accordingly, but not audis and VWs.

I don't think he has a quattro, but all B5 1.8T come with the normal K03, the GP quattro versions (99-01) did have a different tune with 20KW more, but still the same hardware.
