Welcome to audi-sport.net. Enjoy the forum. There is lots of info in the faqs thread in the A4 b5 section. x

It's the 1.8t with 150 bhp but will be looking to change that

What are your plans? x

 

[ricklaz]

Bigger turbo, fmic new exhaust and a remap for starters

 

[aragorn]

If your lucky, you'll have an AWM engine. Will make tuning that bit easier!

 

[ricklaz]

Or may look at swapping to a cupra R or S3 engine

 

[aragorn]

no point, the bits that are different wont fit an A4.

Found out its the apu engine?? Apparently good for upto 200bhp?

 

[aragorn]

standard turbo will do about 200 yeh.

A good hybrid might see something like 280, and if you want more than that you'll need to go for either a TFSI-K04 conversion or a big garrett or similar.

If your going for a hybrid or bigger turbo, changing the rods in the engine might be a wise move. The rest of the engine is good for probably 350 without issue.

Didn't realise could squeeze that much out with just a bigger turbo!
