Good part upgrades for a4?
Hi, just signed up on this board for a friend. He has a 2000 audi a4 1.8t quattro. It's all stock but the lowering springs. Now he wants to know what kind of motor upgrades he can do to make it a little quicker. Btw, its an auto <IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">and i think they run 4-5 psi stock? I told him to just get a boost controller and up the boost to around 9 psi. Is there anything else besides that? Like bigger down pipe? I'm not too familiar with the 1.8t motors... so if you could please help me out. Thanks.

i know this topic is probably beaten to death, but are chips going to significally decrease the life of your engine, specfically the turbo.
I recently had my turbo replaced around 34k miles under warranty.
brrman, the water pump was covered under my warranty, except for the $50 deducatable i had to pay.
the thermostat was 61.31
and charged me 47.50 for labor.
they always get you somehow
LOL

I would have argued about the labor cost knowing that if there replacing the water pump it only takes like an extra 5 minutes for a monkey to replace the thermostat...less the cost of bananas for the monkey...
