Hey there. I'm new to the forum, but not new to Audi.
I'm in the midst of getting behind the wheel of one I can call my own finally. 2016 A4 Technik Plus [S-line]
I'm considering some immediate upgrades, as I am aware the engine and supporting components are more than capable of pushing a little more ponies.
Just curious to see what experiences others have had when taking the same path. Challenges, recommendations, etc.
I'll be looking primarily for subtle upgrades like a slightly higher output turbo, exhaust, and chip/tune (Not sure if the stock ECU is tune-able tbh)
Would it be safe to maybe include larger injectors and fuel pump along with those upgrades? Again, I'm not looking for a race-car. But from my knowledge, it can handle an extra 150hp/tq.
PLEASE ADVISE

 

150HP is pushing it unless you start upgrading major components like the turbo injectors and so forth. Check out APR, GIAC and the like for more information on different stages of tune and what is required to achieve those gains. You will never get anywhere close to 150HP on just minor component upgrades, not sure where you got your knowledge or information from.

 

Here's some upgrade on my opinions,
1) Tires (depends on your weather)
2) H&R Coilovers
3) Forged DV
4) Full exhaust recommended (hi-clow cat does the job)
5) APR stage2 tune
6) Intake for sure
