phil you got 3k post and you are asking noob questions.... but to answer them depends on your overall goal

might want to get something that can be upgraded later if you plan to upgrade but there is APR,GIAC,unitronics, speedtuning

and then you can get a dv from any of the tuner sites, forge is probably one of the most chosen, or you could go 710n

yes well i never thought i would own a 1.8 so i never bothered looking into anything on them sorry lol and nothing too crazy with power... just wanting around 250-300 would be plenty for me to have fun with

wheel or crank?

either way an elim would probably be the way to go.... or a frankenturbo... not 100% sure who makes a tune for them, but uni has a stage 1 tune, then you could go stage 3 with them too


mike hood can sell you either turbo

phil honestly since you are "new" to the 1.8t and seems like all audi's start here

https://www.audiforums.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=109459

read that ****... get familiar with it.... then buy the car that is right for you


make sure to read the part about maintenance... get all that **** done first before you mod it, unless say your shocks are blown and you can afford to upgrade that part... or your turbo is blown and you can upgrade.... if not fix the broken bits then after all that is done... upgrade



and by the way i love my one piece euro rs4 w/ hids

i hate u both... i think i will buy some one piece just so everyone will get off my back lol...

but the more i think about it, im prolly just gonna go with the 1.8... its gonna get better gas, less things to fix initially and more options for power... if anything should arise that im confused about ill drop in and say hello...

ill be reading around here and there until i get the car, then ill post some pics too
