    your suspension has nothing to do with your engine, at least I think so. Is it worth it? That is up to you, each turbo kit has their own pro's and con's.

    Not to sound like a douche, but search for stasis thread, many questions answered in that thread and answered, could be a good start before you spend the bucks.


    For a second, I thought this was going to be about their stasis motorsports, those are worth every penny...my buddy has them and when you are driving, feels like you are getting a um....ill keep it clean =)

    Because your car will be faster it will be necessary to upgrade the suspension to a stiffer one with more control. Without the upgrade you will be able to get up to speeds and forces that the stock suspension was not designed to handle.

    ^^i think stock can handle it, not sure why you would have to upgrade, not saying that you shouldn't low = great...but I am sure our car are meant to handle some extra power, I doubt audi designed our car to only handle the hp we have now. I could be wrong, please correct me if I am.

    I just never heard of suspension needed in order to have a big turbo working, which is what I assume the OP is referring too. I would also imagine, unless the OP is going to drop a heavier engine: s4, rs4 than I would say ya, stock shocks are not meant for that much extra weight.

    probably not. I would just take out the shocks/struts springs and then put the turbo in. That's the only way it will work.

    According to Audi and their warranty, the car was only built to handle the stock specs. But that is just a load of bullshit so they can claim that the added horsepower from my intake was too much for my third gear synchro to handle. Sorry, I just had to rant some more...

    To the OP, you do not have to upgrade your suspension for the BT kit. However, I would highly recommend doing so. Especially when you come into the first turn on a road you are familiar with going 10 mph faster than you normally would be going. Therefore, with a BT I would recommend suspension, brakes, and an RS4 rear sway.
