    1.8t quattro sport, want more power help

    Hi all,

    Im kinda new to audi's so please bear with me.

    I've had my audi a3 1.8t quattro sport (180bhp) for about six months now and just wanted a few ideas on how to get some more horses under the bonnet.

    Really looking to get to 225bhp at the moment. Is this doable with a small budget? Can people suggest good mods, places to buy and what sort of bhp they put out.

    Thanks
    Grant

    Remap for power and an R32 rarb for the handling. The 2 best mods for their price.

    Then move on to exhausts etc, but a company in America is about the only that do DP's for the tqs straight off the shelf.

    Should be said that cheap remaps are normally cheap for a reason... what year is your car and where abouts are you located?

    Revo is a fairly safe bet tbh....

    change the air filter
    full turbo back system 3" down pipe 2.5" the rest
    stage 2 r tech custom map
    forge dv with yellow spring

    this should see you good for around 225-235 bhp

    handleing wise
    coilovers or shocks and springs
    r32 anti roll bar rear

    a set of s3 carriers would be good set up for brakes along with a set of ds2500's and brembo max discs

    others would be to change to dog bone mount will get better gear changes
    set of wheels 18" for a nice look
    front mount intercooler toyo sports will help keep temps down

    any more info there are a good couple of guides on the sticky section
    Mods:
    BBS ch 18x9j - Powerflex red dog bone - Powerflex front wishbones - turbo smart boost gauge - forge FMIC - HKS induction kit - forge 007p - Fk street coilovers - Forge rear Tie Arms - 11mm FK Spacers - Hid 6K - S3 washer&coolent cover - S3 Carriers - pipe werx Cat Back - SFS Tip
