    Re: advice for upgrades

    the order that I always see is:

    1. chip (and new DV)
    2. RS4 sway bar and snub mount
    3. cold air intact
    4. exhaust
    5. suspension
    6. whatever else you want to do cosmetically.

    of course, if you are planning on doing a lot of track driving then the suspension should get moved up in the list.

    all this being said, I have not followed my own advice, as you can see from my signature. mostly b/c i wanted to start cheap.

    Chip (no DV still running stock cause my stock isn't failing)
    Carbonio
    Exhaust
    Wheels & Suspension & RS4 rear sway

    good point sexican. you don't HAVE to buy a new DV. majority of the time though the chip mod will increase the hp and boost enough to cause the stock DV to blow and cause a nice annoying whistling sound indicating it is time to invest in a Forge DV.

    Don't even waste your time with an intake, the stock one is just fine. Chip, Suspension, sways if you don't have factory ones, snub mount, exhaust.

    whats DV?

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    good point sexican. you don't HAVE to buy a new DV. majority of the time though the chip mod will increase the hp and boost enough to cause the stock DV to blow and cause a nice annoying whistling sound indicating it is time to invest in a Forge DV.
    I've got that whistling sound sometimes? if it's the same sound as you mean :)
