For People Who Know About Fixing Up Cars, Need Your Advice.
I have an 03' Audi A4 1.8t, and its a pretty quick car its an automatic with a 6-speed multitronic (if that means anything) but I wanna make it a lot quicker, any suggestions on what I could do, especially for the acceleration off the line.....?

turbo upgrade

Put an Oakley sticker on the rear window

You can chip it, it's already a turbo, but you can also upgrade your exhaust etc. it's already a pretty quick engine. Check this guy out, he does incredible work on German cars. He does racecars etc regularly.

I agree, the most significant thing you can do to a normally aspirated motor is to add a turbo or Supercharger. A chip and or exhaust may improve performace, but only slightly! you will probably only notice that the car sounds like it's perfoming better, but in truth the gains are tiny! A Turbo will make a huge difference that you can enjoy!:2 cents:

chip it ... larger turbo .. uprated intercooloer ... hi performance air filter .... hi performance complete exhaust .... many many mods

I have an Audi 1.8t as well.
first and formost. Do an ecu chip upgrade. Its worth about 40-50 TRUE HP increase. I got mine on Ebay, it cost me $600 with a spare ECU. It a great idea to get a spare ECU this way you dont mess with your stock one and you dont void the warrenty. Check out Audiworld.com. To buy a chip check out: www.giacusa.com and/or www.goapr.com ICQ me if you wanna chat. I did some other mods on mu A4 |

Turbo doesn't help anycar until mid 1st gear because the turbo is powered by your exhaust manifold...therefore exhaust has to come out before the turbine gets to spinning.
If you get exhaust, get headers. Exhaust isn't much, but the headers will help at least 20 HP. Lighter wheels... I'm not sure what type of look your going for, but if you want looks, go with light-weight racing rims that look good on the car. Lighter wheels don't sound like much, but the ratio for an average wheel is 1 lb = 10 pounds the engine has to push. Advanced spark plugs, spark plug wires, and ignition coil make a huge difference in response. The list continues.. just do some research. :2 cents: Peace |
some advice is make friends with someone who know what they are doing and can help you do the work. Or if your rich just pay the crazy ammont of money someones gonna charge you to work on your car.

go to the oil change place... have them do an oil change, anything else that needs to be done. go to a car wash. wash it get it all clean and shiny. now go trade it in for something faster.
