    So i just traded my 1990 vw corrado with a 1998 vr6 obd2 swap in it for this audi.

    Mods are:

    giac chip
    magnaflow muffler (not turboback)
    FMIC
    stewart warner boost gauge
    intraxx springs


    questions for you guys are...what are some simple first mods most people do...DV(which kind forge 007?), coilovers, headlights (my current ones suck badly and can't see anything) exhaust and a short shifter i want really bad. i loved my neuspeed SS kit.

    I had to read that three times b/c I'm tired. Sorry you lost the 'Rado, but welcome to the Audi World.

    Those are typical first mods. I'd look into a High Flow Cat w/ larger Down pipe, sway bars before coilovers, and yes the Forge 007 is pretty common. I actually just ordered mine b/c that's what I wanted in the first place, but settled for the wrong one.

    Which Stewart Warner gauge is it? I'm currently installing my Stewart Warner gauges (max perf series), and so far am pretty happy w/ them.

    There is a NICE red Corrado with a VR6 driven by this hot chick who works for VW dealer. The car is usually the talk of the crowd at meets and the girl is known state wide. Your A4 will be faster than the corrado tho.
