80Q performance mods - newbie questions
Audi gurus:
I took the Quattro for a blast up in the mountains this weekend.
While driving *anything* at 10,000+ft is sluggish at best, I am
now wondering at what could be done to an 80Q so it's a bit
better? (Yeah, I know.. buy a TQ :\ )
Keep in mind my objectives:
1. Staying within the parameters of "stock" - ie no addition of
nitrous or turbos or engine swaps.
2. Emissions legal - Gotta pass Colorado Vehicle Emissions
tests.
3. Stealth mods - not obvious until the "loud" pedal is pressed.
I'm not looking for a lot of Hp, 10 or 20 more would be nice.
What I have in mind:
1. A chip - who makes one?
2. K&N air filter or conical K&N
3. 2.5 (3?) inch after-cat exhaust
4. some sort of cold-air induction
I already have plans to upgrade to a set of Konis or Bilsteins,
and better tires/wheels. Suspension tuning is not a problem.
Please lemme-know via email, as I don't have access to the
archives with my mailer.
TIA,
/Jeff "thin air sucks"
'88 80Q - box stock... for now.
PS - Is there any difference (performance-wise) between the 80Q
and the 90Q?
