Hey there im about to purchase a s4 twin turbo.
I was wondering wheres a good place to buy parts?
What are the best modds I can do?
I want to build the engine, do you know of any good shops in the alberta area.

What do you recommend I should do to pull a lot of HP

Thanks for your help

What you need is a horsepower goal, then we can pint you in the right direction.

These cars have made anywhere from 185whp stock to 700+ and soon to be beyond that when modified.

If you aren't clear on your goals from the start, you end up buying parts twice, I say do it once do it right.

Also there several shops in Alberta that would be more than capable of procuring the parts you need, again, just need to know what your goals are

Best mod/money is a flash tune. Most likely the car you choose will already have one, the last 3 S4's I bought came with ECU reflashes, most often it seems to be an APR tune

Hey, I'd like to be in the 400-550hp range.

Thanks for your help

WHP or CHP,

For CHP, that is easily achieved with just bolt ons, ie K04 turbos, full exhaust, tune, fueling kit

For WHP, will most likely need to go with a Tial 605 or RS6 turbo kit, full exhaust.yada, yada

DO you have a budget in mind, typically a stage 3 install will cost about 8k in parts alone, for bigger turbo builds, and if you look at the 550whp range including engine internals, you could be looking at 10-15k in parts

Definitly whp. The Car im getting has this done to it already:

full stage 2 with GIAC chip tuning.
3" downpipes (SSAC).
custom cold air intake (K&N filter) with ICMS properly heat sunk to aluminum plate.
upgraded n710 diverter valves.
cross drilled rotors and pads.

I think I'd want to go with an engine build/bigger turbos

I need to point out that 3" DP's from SSAC will most likely be 3" tapered to 2.5". They are a great product, but not capable of 600CHP, 475-500WHP they will become a choke point

I would suggest you start looking at doing a Tial s605 build with integrated engineering rods added into the stock block, stock pistons are forged and more than adequate

I would add 034 true 3" downpipes, 3.5" cat back exhaust, injector dynamics ID725 injectors, ARD or 034 bi-pipes, MAF selection would be up to whatever tuner you chose.

A good AFR meter like Zeitronix or Prosport will be necessary and adding an Aquamist or snow performance water/methanol system will help your tuner squeeze the most out of your car with our available 91octane pump gas

I would add to that suspension and braking upgrades as well

Okay great thanks for your help. Do you know of a good parts dealer in the calgary/alberta area?

and wheres the best place for an engine build

Thanks mate,
