Audi (A4) Tuning & Performance services

Basically,

2.- Chip + bigger exhaust + downpipe: Will get you about 10 to 15 extra HP and more noise.

4.- Number 2 + bigger turbo + bigger injectors and fuel pump + additional plumbing. You'll get around 300 HP but more turbo lag and sharp power delivery which needs an expert driver to tame.

I went for option 1 but I'd love to test numbers 4 or 5, though I doubt I'd want that done to my car unless they were real pros.

JP, its a 2.8 not a turbo :), if your in the UK thats a 30v model, not much you can do apart from chip it, which doesnt do much, new exhaust, perhaps a K&N, it already has 180bhp, i have the 2.6 12v quattro,150bhp job, there not that rare either, theres tons in the uk :) mines a 97 P which they replaced with yours, they stopped making the 2.6 12v in 96.

Oops! Righto! I seem to have misread 2.8.

Agreed. Not worth doing much about it. I seem to remember some tuner fits a PS28 turbo into the 2.8 thus turning it into a monster. I would bet reliability is not its strength though.

It's a supercharger (intake air compressor driven by crankshaft) made by PES, I believe, designed to fit in the middle of the Audi V6 2,8 NA engine.

A Google search turns up a number of references.

But I do wonder what mods, if any, need to be made to lower the compression ratio . . .

Thanks for all your help... and suggestions. Will investigate the PES route..

You definetly need to change every single vaccum lines out. Our engine produce lots of heat under the engine. I never liked the way the braided cloth hide possible leaks. I've heard of other people pull their hair out, trying to find leaks.

Another one is installing a catch can, to separate oil.You don't want it coating your intake track. Also change it to a TT bpv 710. New clutch, I burned thru thru stock on in 7k miles :) Then burned another aftermarket one in 11k (I have my doubts on that brand tho) I'm on a spec stage 3 4 puck clutch now, holds like stink and it's been over a year.

If I remember anything else I'll post it here. But for more info on Apr stage 3 owners. Drop by

Thanks for all the info.
