Bought a Greddy FMIC. Anything else i can do to make my car faster with the stock

[Auditude2.0T]

turbo??

I have

APR Stage II Chip 93
APR FSI Pump
AWE Catback Exhaust
Eurocode Testpipe
Carbonio CAI
Forge DV
Greddy FMIC

Would S3 injectors help? Anyone make headers for this car?

[darren @ SW]

IM sent.

[roostboost]

I'd be interested as well....only bolt-on thing left is the fmic?

[RedS-line]

why not build your own fmic from a kit? i heard the brand name ones are pretty overpriced for what it is.

[prayforsnow247]

You see this guys' goody list? dont think he minds splurging...!

[Auditude2.0T]

I like getting things that are engineered for this car. Im not the kind of person to sit and make a custom Intercooler that might not work right, might not fit right, get me less power and in the end cost me the same amount of money.

[whitevdub]

so you ended up buying the intercooler pete?...k and n air filter this weekend, help me with the install?

[Auditude2.0T]

yea no problem, we can do it Saturday if you want.

[A4 JooN 2.0T]

anymore power and your tranny is toast lol.......also my dilema

[whitevdub]

yeah that sounds good...which place did you say they had it at?

[Auditude2.0T]

Either Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, or Autozone. One of those three should have it.

[Auditude2.0T]

anyone have a write up on how to install an intercooler?

K04 kit

[Auditude2.0T]

K04 is next just need to get my tranny built to a higher spec.

[Widget]

I hate to say it, but wouldn't it have been easier to buy an S4? If you really want to mod, put a supercharger on it and call it a day.

[Kuang87]

I have basically every bolt on too. but with a ko4 or bt, we need a tranny and internals rebuild right?

[Auditude2.0T]

the tranny should hold but i dont want to risk anything.

[quattrosaint]

K04 is next just need to get my tranny built to a higher spec.

wait till the gt28rs, they will produce less TQ then the k04's but alot more HP. Our tranny should hold up fine, we have as much TQ right now as a gt28 will put out. I'm thinking of s3 injectors too but I need to fix my current issues and dyno it first

[roostboost]

i would definitely go with a gt28rs or something a touch bigger as a k04 just wouldn't be worth the price for the few hp increase over the ko3. You want a turbo that makes peak whp at redline and peak tq. as low as possible and holds it as long as possible. I'd really like to see some pics, up close and farther away of how our front ends look w/the fmic. I love the look of fmic, but not sure about this car?

Hey!! i get european car and eurotuner ...check eurotuners new issue they have a small page for people with 2.0t tips like yourself and i who do performance upgrades. they have a tranny that can hold the power now..price was "check site" haha so prob a pretty penny but it would help

[Zebman]

Are the tranny/power issues with Tip/CVT? Or the 6MT too?

[roostboost]

power issues are w/the TIP as the only thing you'll need for the MT6 is an upgraded clutch to handle the power.

[denisk]

You guys with every bolt on's on how much hp are you making?

[M Style S]

So the tranny in my 6MT only needs a clutch upgrade and it can handle more power than around 310-320HP?

"Bought a Greddy FMIC. Anything else i can do to make my car faster with the stock turbo"

If you want your Audi to go faster then try "unbolting" some stuff instead of bolting more shit on your car.

Losing those heavy 18" reps for something under 20lbs will make your car accelerate faster off the line. It makes the car feel like it just got re-chipped again. Not to mention your brakes and suspension will love you for it.

Another easy way to drop weight is to replace the stock battery with a sealed race battery. Can can also lose the full size spare.

If you really want to go crazy, dump the factory seats for some manual adjusting race seats. That should be good for probably 100 lbs or more.

Says Level 10 auto tranny can handle 800hp! [O_O]
As for the original question, Cams?

+1. Also, rather than investing $$$ on making your car faster, learn how to go faster. A capable driver in a slow car can drive circles around a less capable driver in a more powerful car. Sign up for a DE or racing classes.

I am making 240HP at the wheels, and 277TQ at the wheels!! I still have the stock turbo to upgrade but still pretty decent numbers.

Is that running the 93 program?

[roostboost]

general rule of thumb is that for every 100lbs of weight reduction= a tenth of a second quicker...just some fyi
