Warm greetings to all forum members. Looks like a nice place to hang out and get some much needed info. After much time spent at www.crownvic.net and www.s-seriesforum.com, I find myself in nOOb-status again.
I just purchased a 1997 A4 1.8T Quattro. I REALLY would have liked to get a 5-speed, but unfortunately didn't have that choice, so I ended up with an automatic.
After scanning the forum for a few minutes, I'm seeing that there is a handfull of seemingly common modifications that could help squeeze a bit more performance out of the engine. Cat-back exhaust, chip, and an open atmosphere BOV. Am I on the right track here?

Also: Anyone have a recommendation for an OBD II scan tool that will interface with a Pocket PC?

Thanks for any input/feedback!

 

for a scantool check out www.shadetreesoftware.com its not ODBII its for audis but it alot more usefull

Use the search funtion for BOV before you ask which one to buy and get flamed

DO you have tiptronic?

 

Thanks for the heads-up on the scan tool, (and the whole BOV topic [sm=icon_flaming.gif] )

No, don't have Tiptronic.

 

Yah I got the same auto **** Im looking into converting it to tip though... of course I'll post anything I find on the forum

BTW 97 is a good year not just cuz thats what mine is either.

make sure you check which pocket PCs they support I have an Ipaq and they dont support it so use my laptop with www.ross-tech.com software

Consider the GIAC tip chip to help with shortening up your auto shifts.

 

Between the Shadetreesoftware.com and the Ross-Tech, is one device / program particularly better than the other in their capabilities?

Yeah, I really like my '97. Much more refined than my old Nissan Pathbeater in the background. [:'(]

tip chip?? Sounds like something for the tiptronic.

 

Yep... that's what it is.
