Re: AUDI B5 turbo upgrade help!!
well it still avg mileage for a car to even go big turbo, and the prices you are looking are 3-5k depending where u get the product who is ur buddy at the mechanic shop.
thisis jsut the turbo, without the fmic, exhaust, dv, bov, intake manifold, chip upgrade.

wow, pricy, i was thinking about the same thing, but mine is still shy of 120,000 km. i dont think you really need the BOV in that one, its about 100, but it just makes engine run rich.

Re: AUDI B5 turbo upgrade help!!
Best thing as a daily driver for me and I'm not gonna race it, get exhaust, fuel injectors, then chip car. That's stage 2.
For unitronics standards lol. Chip cost about 700 dollars, injectors cost 200-300 bucks. Looking about 1k. need to start saving.
Also keep in mind after chipping the car, make sure u have extra coil packs in the trunk to replace the old ones. Common issue for our cars is having to have our coilpacks blown. Easy plug and play thing

Re: AUDI B5 turbo upgrade help!!
I contacted a local tuning shop and they suggested this.... stage 1+ unitronic software, forge turbo inlet pipe and forge DV .. saying this should be about $1300.00 installed including tax.
This a fair deal for the price...?
