    Re: Increase HP with automatic

    2000 will not get you anywhere near a new turbo.

    your looking at around 4-5k for a BT kit when its all said and done

    Re: Increase HP with automatic

    thats just the turbo.

    thats not all youll need.

    supporting mods are a good 3 grand.

    edit: apr kits are SUPER expensive. you can piece something together for less.

    sure you can get a turbo for that much, but you need all the supporting mods for it, which is $$$

    Re: Increase HP with automatic

    K04 should be around 800
    software 500-700?
    dont need exhaust or IC....but, recommended.
    Divervter valve...TIP...not too expensive.
    injectors 380cc ($250 I think?)

    I think you can get most of what you need for $2k

    Re: Increase HP with automatic

    he'll end up needing an fmic. probably exhaust aswell eventually.

    those are actually better mods to invest into BEFORE the turbo

    How much HP will i be making.
    http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/turbo_b6a4_k04.html
    This includes the turbo and all that bla bla for a little above $2000

    But if i just do a Apr Stage1+ Reflash its only $1000 for reflash and injectors and i make same amount of power. So y i get that K04?

    Re: Increase HP with automatic

    youll be making only around 20 more hp than stage 1+ but youll have more torgue and a bigger torque spike and more area under the curve.

    most people here till tell you that a k04 is a waste of money and go BT.

    i agree, i was going to buy a k04 but decided to save up for a GTRS.

    dont buy from APR, its overpriced. you can find a k04 and injectors for much less than 2k from APR

    Like stated above, you can get a decent array of turbo's for 2k. But all the supporting mods are what's gonna add up quick.

    Re: Increase HP with automatic

    you have to pull your ecu out and send it to them, theyll program it and send it back..
    its all answered on the website.

    your better off finding a local tuner near you and getting it done through them.

    take a look into REVO and GIAC tuning too.

    I think u are better off driving into a local tuning shop and having them reprogram ur ECU with out laying a fingerprint on it. This will be more convenient plus REVO and APR are having Christmas sales right now. Not sure about GIAC or UNITRONICS.

    With $2000:::
    250 - 340 for injectors
    500 - 600 for chip
    150 DV
    Intercooler/Brakes/Maint are ur next BIG expenditures.

    He already said TIP, which means quattro. The FWD is only with CVT.

    For the money you have, go 1+. That'll take almost half the money. Then you have some left over for RS4 rear sway and upgraded brakes. That way the whole package is balanced.

    hey Genius i said let him answer for a reason! because most people think the manual mode equals tiptronic, and he said A4 1.8T no quattro.

    is it 5 or 6 speed

    Re: Increase HP with automatic

    Quick question, Should i do some bolt-ons before the reflash so i can gain the maximum power. Any bolt-ons and stage 1+ can take the Torque to 300 to the crank? damn im such a noob when it comes to Turbo cars man :( . My last TL-S gave me 300hp to the crank with just couple of bolt-ons thats actually 40hp more :D

    300ftlbs on a k03? dont think so bud.

    you can start with an exhaust and testpipe, then a stage 1+ or stage 2 from revo,

    if you do plan on EVER going bigger, go REVO since they let you update to BT software for only $200

    CORRECT >>> when I did mine I recorded it in my personal "mod spreadsheet" as Chip (2 programs + injectors) = $1000

    Re: Increase HP with automatic

    CTS is running a special on the ko4 with install kit at 950 shipped. Get yourself some used seimens 380cc injectors which pop up on the classifieds here all the time, a tip, and the software and you should be at or about two grand. Their thread is on page three of these forums as we speak.
    Stretched, poked, and slammed.
