what HP mods can you do to the A4 and NOT void your warranty?

 

well each component voids a particular part.

your best bet would be a exhaust. chip since you can switch back to stock after.

Intercooler is not required on the stock turbo. Only if you are constantly flogging the car at the track. The same power will be made on a dyno, you just start to lose power after some beatings with heatsoak on the stocker. My plan was on a buget build and intercooler did not fit in there.

 

Ask yor dealer service manager. My dealer is fine with most any mod and wont let you leave without pitching you a chip. They do REVO on site. They may tell you what they will tolerate without giving you a hard time. But if you say f-it and mod your car and blow something, they have to prove your parts caused the failure and can't void the whole car cause it looks extreme. Proof is needed.

Its not up to an assinine service tech or even the owner of the dealership who says he can void your whole warranty. You take your problems straight to Audi / VW of America.

 

stock turbo and stage 3 will free up 20 HP at the wheels-according to a fmic company (i can't remember the name).

 

Marketing lies.

Intercoolers only cool an intake charge an a heatsoaked car. Maybe after a repeated hard beating the IC will hold 20 more hp but on a dyno with a cold car you will make exactly the same hp more or less.

Yes they are good eventually but should definatly not even be close to one of the first mods you get on a stock turbo. Expensive and money better spent on other items.

Certainly intercoolers aren't the first thing you need to do, but the stock ones weren't designed for the 20psi of a chipped car. That air is a lot hotter than 11psi stock charge air.

 

Again we are talking dollars to HP potential. Look how much IC's cost. I left it out of my formula for a reason. Add one later if you like.

 

what intercoolers are out the re for our cars? i have been looking and have found just ebay ones...which i don't trust...
