1997 Audi A4 1.8T Quatrro

What are you looking to do? There are quite a few options. What kind of mileage do you have on your car?

 

1) Chip (APR, GIAC, Upsolute, Wetterauer, Revo) Should make you a few ponies ~20-25 and up your torque quite a bit.

 

2) Turbo back exhaust - Free's things up and it will sound pretty mean when you're done.

 

3) MBC - Together with the chip and a vag com and some messing you can squeeze a couple extra psi out of the little pea shooter err I mean turbo.

 

4) Frount Mount - Toss a big front mount on your setup and get rid of the dinky side mount intercooler.

 

5) Turbo upgrade. You can go with a newer k03 sport off of a 2001+ car or a k04 upgrade. Both of these options aren't too great though because for the price you pay you aren't going to see much gain. If you do the turbo upgrade I would either check out the atp stage II with the gt28 or do a custom setup with a disco potato. smile.gif

 

If you need any help let me know and I would be glad to answer any questions or lend a hand wrenching.

I know, but they specialize in German cars. I do believe my previous post was written as a question. I didn't say "I know for a fact..."

Quite honestly I think Chip is a dick, but the guys in the shop are descent mechanics.

I've heard more than enough bad experiences about people going there that if I needed to go in for service that would be about the last place I choose to go. One of my friends works there and I buy parts from there occassionally but for service I would go with ecs or maybe motorkars if you want to go somewhere local.

I worked at Auto Assets for 2 & 1/2 years, and having to work for Chip just began to get unbearable, so I left. I have seen him screw plenty of customers on bills, because either he or one of the techs fucked up, and there is no way he was going to absorb the cost. My Uncle is one of those customers that Chip is trying to screw because Chip knows he has money, and won't cover the extra labor time to have Gary redo the work that was done by a guy that got fired, and he still doesn't have his '88 slant nose turbo back because Chip wants like $15K more then the initial "estimate". Although he only gave him the new amount verbally, since he doesn't actually have an itemized bill of any sort :mad: It is the custom black one with red leather interior sitting in the back room for anybody that has been back there and seen it. :(

 

Gary Aliff (if he is even still there) is a great guy and although he doesn't do as much aftermarket work, he knows pretty much all German cars inside and out. He also works on the side out of his house, so if you need regular mechanical work done I would suggest just talking to Gary and have him do the work, instead of going through Chip. If you need aftermarket work done, just hit me up. ;)

 

If any of you guys have any other questions about some of the stuff that goes on there, just send me a pm, I got to see plenty of stuff I didn't really agree with...
