Anything else i should upgrade?

[Auditude2.0T]

Well im going APR Stage 3 in 2 weeks, sending out my transmission to IPT Tuning to be built to 500+HP, i have Stainless Steal brake lines, Red Stuff pads etc so my brakes are good, i upgraded my suspension and have all performance upgrades. Should i do axels or control arms? How about a cam? Would water meth blow up my stock block with APR Stage 3? TIA.

[dubfreak75]

I thought you were trying to get rid of it and find a 6mt?

[Auditude2.0T]

I thought you were trying to get rid of it and find a 6mt?

changed my mind. Im just going to keep it and upgrade it some more. I figured that in 5 years when im done with college i'll buy a new S4, RS4 or something like that.

[Bart-Man]

Damn bro, I'm happy with my stock a4 with oem sport suspension and s4 sway bar.

[Slo.Mo.Shun.]

Check your cam lobe and follower, plus try to get an upgraded the low pressure fuel pump as well, since fuel starvation to the high pressure pump might occur.

[Frizholy]

keep it TIP fo life

how bout save your money for a faster car.....you realize if you total -- meaning f-ing up engine parts -- your car, your losing all the money you're putting into it, no questions asked...

But you're car will be one off. Hope it turns out well for ya!! Good luck.

The fact of the matter is that with the APR Stage 3 Turbo Kit, and a couple of other little things, my car will be faster than new M3, RS4, etc...

Here is a vid of the stage 3 turbo kit on a A3 without FMIC, CAI, DV, only has the kit and exhaust.

Factor in a A3 2.0T FWD DSG is 300lbs lighter than A4 2.0T Quattro Tiptronic and has less of a drivetrain loss.

[AudiWxGuy]

Sounds good. But you can insure those cars for their value. Once you do this, it (BT-KIT and accessories) can't be insured. So if you're car gets into an accident, stolen, or what not. You're out the 10 g's or so you put into the car to make it faster. I'm not saying that you shouldn't do it. What I'm saying is there is a ton of risk and very little reward.

Vreeeee MIN tous akous! Kane oti thelis! Pote boro na se gnoriso,eimai 30 xronon kai akoma thelo na pigeno pio grigora, thelo na sou thixo kati aftokinita pou ehoumai ftiaxi etho stin astoria!!!!

oli malakes, pan na mou poune mi to kano, gufti:) You said you have a friend mechanic in Astoria. Would he be interested in swapping out my torque converter? first im going to ask my friend who is a Master Mechanic for Mercedes if he wants to do it but if no then im a little stuck.

[agkellyboy]

I was going to say the Stasis Torsen diff, but 6MT only

[grmntoy]

As for the torque converter yeah he'll give you a good price too...the shop is right by central(the club in astoria). I also wanna do some of the mods you did in a matter of time cuz i just baught my car just recently, but i wanna see how you car feels or to just go stage 3 also.

That's not what modifying cars is about, if thats your only worry you should just leave this forum. Even if he bought a m3 or rs4 he would probably modify that too, as most serious cars are always looking to improve on their cars abilities. As for reward there is a lot to gain when it comes to enjoying the car. Have you ever driven an apr stage 3 car?

IMO you are right about modifying but that is certainly not the only reson to be on this forum.

It's not a worry...It's more of a concern. I am all for modding. But I have a limit when I don't have the money to lose. If I put 10k into my car for a BT, I better be able to spend it and forget it. I can't. Many people can't. Autitude can b/c of he works very very hard. I just wanted to give him a different perspective.

That's some tough talk coming from a guy with one ring. Maybe you should be the one that leaves if you can't value someone else's opinions.

[grmntoy]

Heyyy I got one ring and I've been in the scene for 12 years!!!!!! Just do what makes you happy!!!! Just don't blow the motor!

its not even close to 10k thats a little exageratted x2.5

[viperdsa]

Engine mounts?

[AudiWxGuy]

its not even close to 10k thats a little exageratted x2.5

4k for the turbo, plus installation. About 10-12 hours at 50-60 hour = ~4600.
I've gotta figure another 2-3 for your tranny work. Aight, so maybe not 10...but 6 or 7 or 8 total. I highly doubt your getting this down for less than 5k....

Anywho...I've said my peace. Have a nice night.

[wezlo]

get cams!

[Tru NY Player]

build that motor..your block wont handle that much power all day..
injectors and cams..top priority..

sounds great though..cant wait to see some numbers and clips..
good luck..

Here are my plans as of now:

By the end of December my car will have:
Full APR Stage 3 GT2871R Turbo
IPT Tuning Built Tiptronic
Silicone Hoses

By the end of next December:
AEB Heads
Forged Rods and Pistons
Raise the boost to 28psi
Water/Meth Injection
262 Duration Cam


My final goal by hopefully January 2010 is 500AWHP.

[IceMole]

500 will never happen on apr with gt28, ever.

[eastwick897]

Considering alot of our bottom end components are forged already besides the rods do the IE drop in rods and you should be able to sleep much better running higher boost. Is the APR kit coming with injectors?

Geico covers all my mods for $23 extra a month.

X2.

[ifrenchman]

2871 ~ 450hp

I didn`t saw anywere how much power will you run within this December? Maybe you should upgrade it first with forged pistons?

[QTC]

X3 on the turbo output. APR is advertising ~375 chp with the Stage 3, so you're going to need a significantly larger turbo to achieve 500WHP. A guy local to me has a built B5 A4 with power around that range, and his turbo is the size of a pumpkin. Not to mention that APR most likely doesn't have a tune to support that power. You'd also be better off going with a 2.2L block and building that up. I'm thinking the stock 2.0L block would need a lot of manipulation....

Axles and control arms don't need to be upgraded (CA's have more to do with suspension then performance). I would suggest upgrading your motor and transmission mounts (if they make trans mounts for a Tip), plus an upgraded snub mount. That should help cut down on some drivetrain slop. In addition, add the SS lines, but you should also consider upgrading to a Stoptech, Brembo, Alcon, AP Racing BBK, or even some sort of Porsche setup. At the very least, think about upgrading to S4 size rotors and a more aggressive pad. A BT is great and all, but you need to stop somehow, and the stock brakes/pads/rotors won't cut it.

You're coming to the ASP Dyno Day on December 20th, right?

[masteroc]

Get wings imo...pass all that traffic

[ifrenchman]

Dear members, please help me with few advices.
I see that this is only thread with someone who did tuned B7 TFSI

I have bought next parts:

a) Garrett 3071
b) External wastegate
c) Custom 3" downpipe with 3" exaust and screamer pipe
d) High flow FSI fuel pump
e) Large front mount intercooler with all pipes
f) Custom tuning will be done on dyno

Questions are:
1. Is Forge DV best solution for BOV?
2. Where can I buy larger injectors?
3. Should I buy Walbro 255 and change rear fuel pump too?
4. Where can I buy longitudinal exhaust mainfold with T3 housing?
5. Will my pistons melt down - where to buy forged ones?

Thank you all!
