I'm thinking this doesnt need to be in the internal section until you reach that stage of your modding. For now its going to Nub Tech.

Yea, no list and IMO you need to list everything.

IMO suspension and rear end work is done first.

What is done to the car now? Is it an A4 or stick? If it's an auto, I would look at a converter. Probably one of the biggest gains for an A4 car. If not, keep going with the simple bolt on mods. You could look toward induction or finish out the exhaust with a nice catback. If you want to look at suspension, I would start with some subframe connectors, lower control arms, and relocation brackets.

Knowing what the car has as far as performance and appearance would help... a lot.

LS6 intake for about $300 would be good and then get the stock TB ported for about $50-$60. You'll notice a difference and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Another cheap mod would be a cutout and a ram-air setup similar to Fast Toys. Those are the more basic performance mods you can do.

I'd read a lot on here about stalls before you jump in a buy one just yet.

Stall without a doubt is the biggest gain you'll notice on a4.
