GVR4 owner might buy an A4!
Well, I am new to the list and my old car is just that, old. Thinking of
getting a new one. The A4 1.8T Quattro is the only logical choice. So
now I have a ton of questions about the beast. About 300 hp is my goal
because I don't want to start breaking stuff.
questions:
1. ECU: It seems that every stage I've seen lists a new chip. Can't I
just buy one chip to raise the boost and then use a bleeder valve to control
the boost level?
2. Does the A4 use a MAP sensor or a Mass air flow sensor?
3. Turbo upgrade: which one is the best and the best priced? I can do the
port work myself so I don't want it ported. I don't like clipped turbos either.
(I wonder if my Mitsubishi 16G will bolt on?)
4. Injectors/fuel pump: can the stock ones handle 300hp?
5. I'm guessing the ignition system can handle 300hp, right?
6. Vendors: which are the "best" for upgrades?
