Opinion to my new setup

[RychuA4]

Hello everyone

I am thinking to go with F21 turbo, their manifold and TIP; 3" VR6, CXRacing FMIC and maybe 034 HFC test pipe (stock DV). The bad part is that I already have GIAC chip with 380cc and I am only planning to upgrady it to K04 file cuz it is cheaper for me. I am thinking that if I will not go with motoza and 550s my car will last longer with that setup.
1. What do you guys think about that setup together?
2. I thinking to get this inter cooler. Is there any difference between this one? Would you recommend something better in that price? I do not want SMIC and I would love to keep my fog lights.
3. I have huge problem with heat. Would the 3" 034 HFC helped me a lot with it? Would that be a problem if I would just connect it to a 2.5" downpipe? Maybe sth different?

Please leave any comments, suggestions to my setup. I do not want to make another mistake.

My car: 2004 Audi A4 B6 AMB 1.8T USP AWD @ AWE exhaust, carbonio, GIAC.

Thank You

The treadstone intercooler is a better option, then get some pipes off eBay.

not running the optimal software for your setup isn't a good plan when longevity is the goal.

get the proper software, a decent FMIC (TR18T), a HFC (test pipes are bad for everyone), and upgraded 710N DV (why would you cheap out there?).

or a forge valve and never worry about another torn diaphragm.

Looks like it would be the same price for that inter cooler with piping. Whould THAT piping going to be a good fit? I really like to use my fog lights.
I am trying to convince myself to go all the way to motoza +550cc. But that means no HFC for now. Is that DV from franken turbo enough for that chip or i still need to upgrade different components (engine).

you don't need too but its not going to hurt, I have these on the 2.7 and one on my 1.8t, just grease them every now and again never need another one.

Looks like I gonna get new DV as well. What about that 3" high flow cat from 034 motorsport? Is that going to be OK if I will bolt it to 2.5" downpipe? I did not find a lot of comparable HFC for B6.

Go with the 034 HFC, you will not regret it. I have a test pipe and after a year of stinking up the cabin "at idle" decided it was time for a HFC. Do it right the first time, don't make the same mistake I did.

I have to agree I am just about there. Have had my test pipe and tune for almost 4 months and it does smell pretty bad sometimes...
Personally I am probably going to wait for the APR spring sale to buy their 3" downpipe section (B8 A4), it seems to be the most complete kit from what I have researched but for your B6, 034 seems to have good build quality from my experience.

I will look for some kind of adapter so I can have smooth connection between 3"HFC and 2.5" downpipe.

Could you guys find the right piping for that intercooler? I am thinking to get this one but I am not sure what pipes do I need. I need "someone who did it before"'s opinion. Fog lights are important to me.

or you can just tune for e85 and run that like I do. Now it just smells sweet lol

that's of course if you have stations around you
