I've had a quick search of the forum, a quick google search as well and there doesn't seem to be a lot out there to make improve the 1.4 TFSI (non-COD). I've found some tuning boxes and remap options but can't find much else. I realise it's a small engine and I would be waiting until end of warranty to do anything but are there any real options with the 1.4?
 
I am also looking over the internet for this... However my car is the 1.4tfsi COD 150ps version, and when I go onto these sites for tuning boxes etc.. They do not list the car... I saw one site which supposedly reckoned they would get it from 150bhp to 175-180bhp.. How realistic does this sound?

ABT does tuning for both the 1.4 engines:
Audi A3 chiptuning from ABT Sportsline
I think they'd presumably log a TD1 code so no go until out of warranty for me.

Apart from that, I've not seen much about. I haven't got my A3 yet so obviously when it comes, I'll assess how the power feels to me but if I can safely get anymore, that'd be great.

Was also looking at this Big Brake Kit: Volkswagen Racing Front Brake Kit - Audi A3 (8V) - A3 (8V) - Audi - Shop By Car | Awesome GTI but not too sure on spacers needed.

Difficult to know where to start with it all as I've never modified a car from stock...... Have to start somewhere though!
 
Are the ABT numbers correct? According to their PDF, increasing HP from 140 to 170bhp and torque from 250nm to 290 only increases the 0-62 time by 0.2 seconds?? (the MY15 update from 140 to 150bhp achieved as much!)
 
we've supplied a couple of 1.4 owners with our plug and play tuning kits and the feedback has been positive

Is this also for the MY15 1.4COD engines! The 150ps ones...? Also are these mapped? Or just for throttle response?
 
I may very well invest in one once the car comes!

Drop me a pm nearer the time Ben and I can send you the fitting instructions etc so you can see how easy the installation actually is
 
Anyone actually do any mods?
