You didnt specify if you have an A4 or M6....but for me...

1. Whats your favorite bolt-on? .....Torque converter and Nittos
2. What kind of power increase did u get?....none
3. The Price? ......Converter was $500 shipped, $800 total by the time I installed it (cooler, deep pan, etc), Nittos were $240.
4. Recomendations.......#1 mod for A4s.

Other than that, the headers are my next favorite, but you already have those...

yeah that seems to be quite a typical problem with turbo setups...lots of work to get them to work right...but once they are working right you better hold on...

favorite mod is kinda a toss up for me, probably my TC gained the most et, but the cam was the best for sound, the headers and ory helped that out a bunch though, and hptuners was how i tuned it all...in the end i think hptuners has been my best mod per say because ive been able to tune 2 of my own vehicles and help countless others with it...and there's so much potential not only in the programming but the amount of vehicles they offer for me to tune in the furture as a small price.

I'd say my headers/ORY and the soon to be installed camshaft, probably over 50rwhp from both combined.
