Car already feels fast enough with my stage 1 Revo tune, just looking to make the car run even better, exhaust tips suggest the car is running a little rich. thinking an intake would lean it out a bit. But does leaner mean more chance of detonation? I know this is only a $300 or so upgrade, just not sure what to do next.

Do the intake it will make your supercharger whine more and it sounds cool as shit.

I actually hate the whine, that's why I was leaning towards AWE.

Yep - I am the same way. The AWE Intake maintains the stock levels of SC whine so yu will be happy with it for sure. It does improve throtle response quite a bit... it is a simple and effective modification - I just installed mine the other day and am pleased.
intake next.
If you want to connect a vag cable, I have one for any tweaks you might want to fit in as well.

Thanks, but not sure what you mean as far as tweaks. What is avail?
there is a thread somewhere. The cable can do things like activate hidden menu options in the mmi, and change the spec on lights and accesories.
The oil temperature with lap timer is nice, you can change the led brighjtness from factory 9% up to say 40...goes to 100%. I changed the mpg settings to dial it in to a more acurate result too. There must be about 30 things that can be adjusted on the laptop via the port under the dash.

[eek]
surely one of the best bits about the S4 is it is not NA or turbo charged so has a distinctive power delivery and addictive sound track, enhance it, don't hide it in my opinion!
are the APR cooling system mods that effective?
I am feeling a difference in power after 3 or 4 full power pulls even at 10C ambient temps, so do need to do something

Sounds cool, thanks Lou. We will have to hook up on a warm sunny Sunday.
