I've had the car for a while and haven't touched it but I'm about to find myself in some money and need advice for mods... I like to think I know more about my car than I really do and could use some advice. I want to have a sold daily driver that goes really fast. I'm going to build slow and get the best parts I can so if you could give me advice on what parts to get the mods I'm planning on are

Suspension

Headers

Cold air Intake (i don't know if i want a k&n or the slp lid)

Intake manifold

Throttle Body

Chip or tuner

Cam

heads

nitrous

different gears (what gears are good for a daily driver?)

possibly a cut out (will that mess with my back pressure or performance?)

I don't know who makes the best parts or what size of parts to get for what I'm aiming for if someone could help me out it'd be real helpful. And about how much horse power would I be putting down to my wheels after all those
mods.

What transmission do you have?
For the intake manifold, get a used FAST one; they're made by Wilson. But only after the heads and cam swap as it would be overkill with a stock engine.

If you search around you will find countless numbers of strong builds.

Mine was about 2500$ with tune and used heads also my daily driver. But again there are countless combos

Forget the chip or programmer after you get your parts on take it and get a dyno tune

With cam/heads/nitrous you could make anywhere from 400-750+ RWHP....no way could we give you a power estimate without knowing the parts.

I would start with some stainless headers, poly motormounts, new lid or CAI and a stall for an A4 car or a nice shifter for an M6

this is a very hard question. different people will have opinions to whats is fast, good DD, and what parts to use. if i was you i would start reading and see what direction you want to go.

I DD mine and my mods consists of a BBK intake manifold, TSP 228r cam, kooks headers & ORY with LM1 exhaust, UMI lca and relocation brackets, UMI SFC, SLP Biliestins with BMR springs, Diamond stage 3 clutch and HSW nitrous system. The car is very street friendly no bucking, drives smooth and has the power to get up and go.

If I was you I would start with suspension as you can have all the power in the world and it doenst me shut if you can't get it to the ground, trust me I know. I wanted to do all bolt-on's with the nitrous and go to the track and run low 12's wasn't happen cause I didn't have the suspension set up right.
If you are tight on money look in the classifieds for used parts and you can save yourself a bunch of money. We can sit here and tell you what to do and how to do it but it's up to how you want your car to drive/preform.
