So i know i need to get headers soon but i dont really want to spend the money right now.

So i was thinking a few more small things. 1LE intake elbow? sfc's?
and i need to do the tb bypass soon as well. Any other ideas are much appreciated.

Converter, but that ranks close to headers (depending on the route you go) in price..

Yeah, my plans are full bolt ons and gears/DRs. Not sure if ill ever stall it though.

ok but how streetable is say a 3200 stall? and do those msd digital 6 things even help that much?

Depending on the brand, VERY. If you cheap out on it, it will definitely show you.

Ok thats good. Well about how much is a quality stall?

a quality stall converter is just around $700 thats for the stall itself no labor to install it.

i would make yearly goals, and build the car by ur budget and what u want to do with the car. is it going to be a street only car with minimal track appearences? or mostly track but some street driven etc.

VERY IMPORTANT! whenever u get into a project or start buying mods make sure u over estimate how much it will cost to complete the mod because u will always end up paying extra for odds and ends which can really add up.

check out my sig i've done a number of bolt ons and have had decent success (times in sig) remember the best bolt on isnt neccisarily a bolt on but more of a bolt off WEIGHT REDUCTION, its free and will work wonders in ur 1/4 mile times. if u need any further help or have any more questions feel free to pm me man.

ok thanks for the info. my car will be all street aside from a few trips to the track in the summer. looking at your sig, that is about everything i want to do to mine eventually

did you notice any gains with the trick flow elbow? im just looking for a few small things before headers

Your not going to notice any type of gain by going with a 1LE or trick flow elbow, I wouldnt waste the money unless your stocker was messed up like in my case with my old car. Also I wouldnt waste the money for a TB Airfoil either but for a couple bucks I dont think the TB Bypass would hurt any. I would just save up for some Headers you will be very pleased and follow that up with a good quality stall and you will have a very fun A4.

whenever i did my mods i did them in pairs or triples, i did the tb bypass, cai, and trickflow elbow all at once. honestly i feel thats the best way so u can feel them the most

blkZ28mara

okay ill probably just do the tb bypass and then save for headers.

is there any suspension upgrades you guys would suggest?

StealthFormula

If you have wheel hop I would invest in some Lower Control Arms, never hurts to get better traction.

those are next on the good ole' mod list

StealthFormula

iTrader: (35)

good, get that biotch in the 1.6x range and <12.5 you go. Wheel hop is sweet tho, I destroyed a $600 gear swap in less than 2 weeks!

ok well based on the mods in ur sig....the cheaper way to get the most would be to get a lower tstat, smooth elbow, air foil, do a tb bypass, elec h2o pump, lca and phb...oh and cut the cat off
thatll put u at about 550-600 bucks...but the susp stuff is half of that cost...

blkZ28mara

holy **** that would suck^^.

do your subframe connectors help much? i have no experience with those

or ofcourse u could just get the headers/ory/o2 exts/and block off plates....and spend 600
