what's up. You should check out the Mid-Atlantic forum on www.audiworld.com that's where must of us MA'ers (Mid-Atlantic'ers) post about GTGs. Also check out www.capitalaudi.com It's the website for the most active group of Audi owners in the DC area. We had a 10 car caravan go up to waterfest. The group is made up of a bunch of helpful people who love to lend a hand whenever necessary. If you ever have a problem with your car or want help with an install, just post in the MA forum and someone will be willing to help out.

Hey dont get that boost controller. It only works with DBW cars and your car isnt.

Hey man, welcome to the Audi community. Good to have another local =) Wow, you're jumping right into the modding process eh? I drove my stock car around for a while to save money but also to help me appreciate the mods I put in that much more.

Either way, looking forward to see how your car develops.

Couple of suggestions though...I don't think you'll need to upgrade the FPR until you get a turbo upgrade of some sort (K04 or better). The K&N drop-in filter has a lot of mixed reviews, a lot of times with people messing up their MAFs. Some people say it works fine, but why risk it? I'd say if you really want a drop-in that lasts a lot longer than a paper filter, go with the ITG one. I got mine from awe-tuning.com, and it works great. Other people have good things to say about it too.

P.S. 4induktion is a great place that knows their shtuff! Ed and Matt are great guys, I highly recommend them

Zodiak: Thanks man, ill check those out.

SlighPost: Oh thanks for telling me that? What does Drive by the wire mean(sorry if im an idiot) hahah

Joeya103: Yeah man im jumping straight into it, haha. Word I've talked to Ed at Induktion for some time now, he's tight. Yeah i'll check out that ITG flter you were talking about. Your mods seem to go with what i plan to have done to my car very soon. Any comments about the GIAC, 710N(I'm getting a bailys DV), Ecodes, ITG filter.
Let me know!! Hit me up on AIM

THANKS for everyones help!!

DBW means the car doesn't have a throtle cable connected to the gas pedal. Instead the pedal is like a dimmer switch and more you push it in the more power you get. On the other end the throttle is opened up more and more but its an electric signal that is being relayed to a motor instead of simply hooking a cable up to the pedal. You and I have the cable but newer A4s have DBW.

Mircalewhip, I'm in Centerville. You may have seen my car around Fairfax (Pearl White Reiger A4). Anyways I'm to chipping my car at Induktion. Matt just called me and told me my chip was in. We should ride up together. Give me a ring 703-855-0922!

[joeya103]

I think I've seen you on the road before 4 PLAY...do you have a manual or auto/tip? Cuz I saw this one guy with a pearl white + rieger...he was on the cell phone with his left hand, right hand on the steering wheel, and then he took off. I'm guessing he was auto/tip.

AWE doesn't have a FMIC for A4's
