A.W.E. Tuning's B7 A4 2.0T Big Turbo Kit

[Alex/AWE]

Since you all have been asking for more info regarding our B7 A4 Big Turbo Kit, I’ve done my best to compile some technical information obtained from our engineering department.


Some kit highlights:


A Garrett Turbo custom built to our specifications. We are one of the select few Garrett Turbo Kit Manufacturers, recognized officially by Garrett Turbo. This gives us direct access to their technical information and engineering services. We consulted Garrett to make this turbo with unique materials that are able to withstand the extreme exhaust gas temperatures the 2.0T engine develops.





A cast exhaust manifold designed and developed in house made of a state of the art high temperature resistant stainless steel.





Over the years, OEMs have been raising operating temps of their engines to achieve better efficiency and improve emissions. They have also begun using new materials that are able to deal with the added stress of these high temperatures, especially with diesel applications where exhaust temperatures can really elevate.


The rough prototype manifold installed on car:





We are using a modern 347+ stainless steel alloy (also knows as CF8C-Plus) that features the strength of more exotic alloys, but at a fraction of the cost. This material is truly a product of technological advancements made over the last few years in the exhaust manifold industry. See this .pdf link for a quick overview of this revolutionary material:

Here is a picture of our SLA model and production quality manifold:




A patent pending high pressure fuel pump designed and developed in house, and high flow fuel injectors. We have had several dozen current design pumps in long term use on several cars with zero issues. The pump will be released as a stand alone option in the next few weeks. Injectors were developed on our in house FSI injector test stand.






A 200 Cell HJS metal core catalytic converter, proprietary silicone turbo inlet and outlet hoses, and a mechanical diverter valve design.






Approximate power levels:


This is a dyno chart of the kit while still in prototype form. The power levels are close to the production numbers, but will be slightly detuned to run safely on stock internals.





The production kit will produce around 375 crank horse power and 330 crank torque on stock internals.



As you can see from some of the photos I posted, that besides the OEM cat, our kit does not remove any of the factory emissions equipment. It does not feature special programming tricks to bypass the OEM O2 sensors. It was developed with the mindset of delivering BIG Power without fooling the ECU into not throwing CELs, featuring cutting edge software from GIAC.


Time frame for release :

With a project such as this it’s difficult to nail down an exact time frame for release, but we are estimating the release date to be about 3 months from now due to lead times on some of the components that are made for us by subcontractors. Expect pricing to be around $5400.


I think that should cover most or all of the bases, but if there’s anything else you would like to know just ask and I will do my best to answer.

holy shit!

[scoobycarolan]

oh, where's the quad tip black exhaust?

[Auditude2.0T]

So with the Full Exhaust,Test Pipe, Intake, High Performance FSI Pump, and this kit that should put me at around 420HP? Also does the 5400 bucks include software and the whole shabang?

[cstarky15]

WOW. I Better save my pennies so i can maybe get this! Thats crazy. I can't wait to see more. I would think it would include the software to run it. I love AWE sooo MUCH!!

[johntesi]

Damnnnn. I'm not planning on keeping this car THAT long.. but wow.
Yeah, where's the quad tip exhaust?! I'm excited about more fueling options, too! And an HFC that (hopefully) won't cost an arm and a leg. What all options will be sold stand-alone?

[A4 JooN 2.0T]

i wish i had a model of that snail so i can hang it in my room and crap myself everytime i look at it....lol

[Raymax_2.0t]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I went overboard. lol

This thing is gonna be awesome!

[Glassnpowder98]

Damn... Big day for AWE! I definitely love your products and will hopefully be purchasing a lot of them in the future... starting with the quad tip exhaust.

[Tgr_Clw]

Why does the turbo spool up so late? I would've expect it to hit full spool at less than 4K rpms.

[Todd/AWE]

Why does the turbo spool up so late? I would've expect it to hit full spool at less than 4K rpms.

The dyno sheet is of a fairly old GIAC file calibrated during initial tuning. Since we do not use any mechanical band aids like MBC, it is tough to get the turbo to spool quickly without overshooting when using the N75 alone.

Our newer software is a lot better in that respect. Took a lot of tuning to get that right.

[Tgr_Clw]

So with the Full Exhaust,Test Pipe, Intake, High Performance FSI Pump, and this kit that should put me at around 420HP? Also does the 5400 bucks include software and the whole shabang?

Dude. You way too optimistic about the numbers.

It was stated that "The production kit will produce around 375 crank horse power and 330 crank torque on stock internals."

Where do you come up with 420hp???

In that case looking forward to dyno sheets of the newer software

only on the b7 forum have to take everything with a grain of "wtf" over here

[Alex/AWE]

I don't want to start speculating horsepower numbers just yet. Let us get the final numbers on our production kit and then we can go from there.

Also does the 5400 bucks include software and the whole shabang?

Yes the $5400.00 price includes a proprietary GIAC tune.

oh, where's the quad tip black exhaust?

Yeah, where's the quad tip exhaust?!

We will be releasing more information on our Quad Tip Exhaust really soon. It should be ready for sale in the next few weeks. We just finished up the production model and fit it to our car. We're just finalizing some things before we put these on the market.

[Alex/AWE]

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! We're just as excited about this kit as you are.

What all options will be sold stand-alone?

The only option from the kit that will be sold as a stand-alone product is our High Flow Fuel Pump. We will not be selling other items, such as manifolds, our high flow catalytic converter or our custom designed turbo separately.

[johntesi]

Aww man, I respect that you want to keep it all contained in a "package deal", but I think being the only company with a true turbo-back exhaust would be a huge plus! Especially since ya'lls cat-back is so respected already.

[madrussian]

can you tell us what exactly is included in the kit?

im assuming i need to buy a fmic and exhaust in addition to this?

are you guys taking deposits? any discounts for pre-orders?

[novitech-tuning]

Looking forward for the release of this kit Alex !

[Quattro]

this going to work for tip????

[Sly Raskal]

this going to work for tip????

Sure why not? And if you have a FWD, we'll throw in a free set of Torque Steer.

[Quattro]

woowt! something free haha

[agkellyboy]

Everyone is wondering why I just jumped out of my seat here in the internet cafe at Machu Picchu...but seriously, wooo!

[AudiWxGuy]

I saw the black quad tipped exhaust today! Really really nice! Also, a GIAC-X Chip will be my next mod....almost for sure. Got a ride in an A4 with that today and it felt really nice. I thought much smoother than APR...

[audimeister]

Any credit for existing GIAC customers who've dropped a g on a loaded ecu and flashloader?

[SilverB7FL]

woowt! something free haha

My friend that works at the Audi dealership told me he thinks a tip can hold a big turbo without any problems since we have the same tranny as the A8. He suggested just flushing the tranny fluid more frequently.

I'm more worried about the internals being able to hold the extra strain, don't want to end up with bent rods...

I also don't know if I'll want to want for a BT to spool up either. I wish I could ride in a 2.0T w/ one and see how it is

[IceMole]

^ come to PA and I'll take you for a ride in one, except B6 , once you go BT the k03 little hot air spike gets old real fast.

Can't wait to see the AWE final numbers.

[quattrosaint]

woohooo a turbo to match my FMIC & exhaust!

[Brent27]

amazing, its going to take some saving of some $$ .....need a tester ? i'll slap it on....

[AudiWxGuy]

It's amazing how many people are ready to drop 5'g's!

[Noffy]

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! We're just as excited about this kit as you are.

Alex,

Sorry if I missed this in all the great news. The High Flow Fuel Pump.... Can you provide us with some information on this. Perfomance change? estimated price? will it work as a stand alone piece with existing stock stuff? How/when/who will support this on the software side? giacI assume but any details...

thanks, and congratulations.

[Louis J.]

Hmmmm...B8 or keep the B7 and drop $5k???

Alex, can you please confirm that the $5,400 includes the turbo, manifold, fuel pump, cat, injectors and tune? Also, any idea of what this will do to fuel consumption?

only on the b7 forum have to take everything with a grain of "wtf" over here

LMFAO! and as funny as it is, it's also very sadly true.

[gaede]

And if you have a FWD, we'll throw in a free set of Torque Steer.

Sign me up.

[Sly Raskal]

Sign me up.

Sorry, you missed the deal. Last can of torque steer shipped earlier.

[IceMole]

Alex, can you please confirm that the $5,400 includes the turbo, manifold, fuel pump, cat, injectors and tune? Also, any idea of what this will do to fuel consumption?

It should be like their B6 kit, so it will include everything. As far as MPG goes, as long as you don't put your foot into it all the time it should go up because when you're cruising on the highway you're not in boost like k03.

[Six Speed Turbo]

Here is the list of all of the components of our B7 A4 Turbo Kit:
- Custom Built Garrett Turbo
- AWE Tuning Cast Exhaust Manifold
- GIAC Software that is exclusive to this kit
- High Pressure Fuel Pump of our own design
- Injectors
- High Flow Catalytic Converter
- Silicone turbo inlet and outlet hoses
- Mechanical diverter valve
- Oil / coolant lines

im assuming i need to buy a fmic and exhaust in addition to this?

A FMIC, while highly recommended, is not required. The kit can mate up to the stock intercoolers if you don't have a FMIC.

Catback exhausts are required.

are you guys taking deposits? any discounts for pre-orders?

No deposits needed.

If you are interested in our kit I can place you on our Backorder List. Just send me your Name, Address and Contact information and as soon as we are ready to start shipping out our Turbo Kit we will let you know. This is the best way to ensure that you'll be one of the first people to get the kit.

this going to work for tip????

Yep! It will work on Tiptronic cars with Quattro.

Any credit for existing GIAC customers who've dropped a g on a loaded ecu and flashloader?

I need to check into this. I will let you know later today.

Perfomance change? estimated price? will it work as a stand alone piece with existing stock stuff? How/when/who will support this on the software side? giacI assume but any details...

Let me look into this and I will get back to you a little bit later today.

[Six Speed Turbo]

What if you already have a HF fuel pump?

[Alex/AWE]

I'm more worried about the internals being able to hold the extra strain, don't want to end up with bent rods...

We've tuned this kit with the longevity of the stock internals in mind. We don't want customers to end up with bent rods, blown motors or anything of the sort. The reason the power levels are set where they are now is for safety.

Sure why not? And if you have a FWD, we'll throw in a free set of Torque Steer.

Sorry, you missed the deal. Last can of torque steer shipped earlier.

Im assuming that if we already have a Forge Diverter valve, Testpipe and high performance Fuel Pump we can buy the kit without it right?? Also my APR 93 program will now be obsolete with this kit or can it be modified??
