Re: Need more power!!!
My car came with a Big Turbo (BT) and its not tuned yet (came with Mika Tuning?)
I was heads up with a Cherokee SRT8 yesterday haha sounds funny but that ****er was fast. K04 is pretty good, but if you save the extra money over the winter, buy an ATP kit. GTRS elim is good or GT2871R (which is what i have) rocks they mount up to stock manifold, full boost at about 3200rpm... which is cool, half of your power band is full boost. I have a friend who has a KO3S which is pretty close to the KO4, but he wants to upgrade his car in stages... I told him its a waste of money and time if you know what you want in the end. Aim high, go with a BT kit, you won't be dissapointed. just beware... you get to 230 realllly fast. I wish I had a 6-spd. |
Re: Need more power!!!
try eurocode tuning
atp turbo extra stuff you're going to have to buy are: -wideband 02 sensor and gauge $250 shipped -full exhaust 3" perferably unless u already have; custom should be around $600 -boost controller (you'll find that the N75 sucks) from 400-600 -REVO or other comparable tune for BT 680+tax -FMIC kits go from 500 to 1000 -turbo with oil and coolant lines -TIP (turbo inlet pipe) 250 - or- find a used APR Stage 3 or 3+ kit or something which could be found for 1500-2000 these are ball park prices I know this isn't in your price range at all... but, you're going to spend the money, might as well go out and havce a killer car... I mean, my buddy Sam has a T3/T4 Super 60 and lit the tires up in 4th gear in his Jetta 1.8T but if you want to get a K04 and keep up with the new Toyota Camry then go for it. |
Re: Need more power!!!
I'm pretty sure a stock A6 2.7T or even Chipped would kill a K04 A4... no offence to anyone with a K04, I just got stuck with a GT28 ;)
and yes i'm a post ***** lol |
Re: Need more power!!!
Bottom line is that $600. ain't gonna do it for you ! A BT A4 is awesome (the GTRS is actually a better street setup due to earlier boost). The power is very smooth and almost decieving compared to the feel of the boost spike of a chipped K03 or K04. If you go the BT route definitely put a new clutch on the list of required upgrades.

Remember, get a K04 and grandma still has a more powerful Camry... Wanna play, gotta pay... |

Re: Need more power!!!
yeah 600$ at your level, there is not much you can get... you can get a Boostcontroler and add more boost, but next step is BT and thats gonna cost a little more than 600$.
I would probably just get a GT2871R and skip the elliminator step. but you will need a desent clutch to hold that power (Southbend stage-4 OFE or better). a Front mount IC, Bigger Injectors, New Chip (1.5bar) 3" MAF... the list continues. |
Re: Need more power!!!
Was just reading the thread, and many good points although, i would love to go BIG TURBO. and just laugh everytime u stomp the pedal but im on a budget and im gtting a Ko4 turbo kit for 3000 includin 3" exhaust manifold chip turbo (ko4) From Kinetic ect ect.
The reason im going with that is because its reliable and very much more practicle for everyday driving. So for 600 you dont relay have much to work with...... |
Re: Need more power!!!
Maybe someone can akswer my question.....what could i compare my car to inregards to accel/speed with te following Mods.
Audi a4 1.8T Apr Chip KO4 Turbo FMIC Kinetic Intake KO4 Manifold Injectors 3" Exhaust 3 prong SUPER spark plugs...haha..at least 40hp right there!!! j/k THanks for your feedback |
