The basics:
- 2011 B8 S4
- DSG
- Sport Diff
- Titanium Package
First shots:
From the start I knew the car wont stay stock for long so I "struggled" to get through the first 15K miles (wanted to make sure nothing is wrong with the engine etc before I started the tuning - crazy long wait for some I know :)).
I decided to brake the tuning into phases and each phase would add not only performance improvements but also something little (or big) on the exterior. I did so many Photoshop "what ifs" that at this point my wife does not even bother to ask or say anything when I am looking at the screen and "paining" the car :)
So ... the phases
Phase 1:
1. EuroCode Alu Kreuz Billet Aluminum Drivetrain Stabilizer
2. Deval carbon fiber rear valence
3. Deval carbon fiber front lip
4. OSIR carbon fiber fog lights surrounds
5. AWE exhaust with resonated downpipes (Sound check)
6. AWE intake
7. Custom front grille (RS honeycomb style)
8. 3M DI-NOC (Graphite) wrap of the side reflectors (aka Ti-code)
9. 3M DI-NOC (Black) wrap of the bottom part of the side mirrors
10. Custom + sign to top phase 1 off (Not kidding) - (Since I got a ton of PM regarding the + ... you can BUY IT HERE)
11. VAG-COMed
