3 Weeks of Modifications

[DrededSS]

I bought my 2012 A4 2.0T a few weeks ago. I have been squeezing in installs here and there. So far:

Luft-Technick intake
APR turbo muffler delete
APR Downpipe
APR Stage 2 tune with 5 settings
APR intercooler
R8 coils
NGK plugs

Tomorrow:

JHM short throw
P3 vent gauges

I know the intake doesn't make a power difference, but I was wanting sound. So far I'm very happy with everything and can't wait to get these others installed tomorrow.

Good collection... You beat me to punch with the apr dp install.. doing mine on Monday... How does the car feel with the tune?..

Probably not with that amount of other changes..lol.... Doesn't hurt the throttle response tho.

I had to knock out the downpipe to go with the tune. I never got on the throttle hard until after the coils/plugs were also done. So I cannot judge each modification separately. All of it has come together nicely though.

I had pretty much everything done by the time I added it. It was moreso a "just because I'll be there anyway" than looking to get something major out of it.

Nice setup man! It's making me really want to modify mine! I am just worried about the car a little because it has 60k miles...how many does yours have?

I actually bought the car with a lot of miles. There was 75k on the clock. However, it had every service record from Audi and was a one-owner car and well-cared for. Had the timing checked and it was barely off from stock. So the previous owner babied the car and kept it well-maintained.

Nice! I am only weary because when it gets hot there is a sweet smell that comes from the exhaust and into the cabin when on recirculate. There are no leaks or smoke though. I might take it in soon and have that fixed if it's an issue.

It only took me a month!! But finally got the JHM shifter installed last weekend. The P3 setup was delayed by someone apparently returning their GTI setup in an Audi box at some point. Got that straightened out with ECS finally and installed last night. Very happy with the way it looks, and it only took about 20 minutes to install. Also did my first oil change on it last night with Schaeffers 5w-40 9000 series. I know all of you here have your favorites, but I'm a Schaeffers dealer in the diesel world.

Now on to clutch and waiting on that Stage III to come out...
