i'm not a speed freak and i don't want to to go all out on modding an A4, but if I purchase one a chip is definitely in the plans. so what kind of gains can I expect? anyone have Dyno sheets? what kind of 0-60 time will I see: 6's? 7's?

I love A4's and I am willing to go with a heavier, slower car because I like the luxury/style/quattro. Thanks for your info.

the only real issue with the 1.8t a4s being slower than the 1.8t jettas and golfs is weight..

Slow to one person is fast to another. 0-60 in 7 seconds would be fine for my daily driving - Though a car in the 6's would be awesome. But if the low 7's are possible with an upgraded filter element/chip//exhaust in an A4 then I am game.

Now, you may make more power with an APR or GIAC chip, but I've heard driveability is a little spikey. The Neuspeed driveability is just like stock--very smooth. (I actually got the Neuspeed chip because I didn't want to get too agressive since this is my wife's car. AND it was only $199!)

I may be wrong, but I think to get the spirited performance out of an A4 quattro that you get from a chipped FWD GTI or Jetta, you are looking at a bigger turbo.

They are pretty quick, though. We're not talking stoplight racing off the line stuff, because they're simply not geared right for that (first gear is reeeeealy short on the 5 speeds), but on the highway, they're right quick.

I have an APR chip in mine. Drivability is fine - not overly peaky, etc. There was a small issue with the boost not always coming on completely smoothly, but that is fixed by an upgraded N75 valve, which runs about $70 or so. Now it's completly smooth - like stock, only faster!

And yeah, the A4 is a great car for the money. They can be had for not that much more than a nice Jetta, used, and they're much much nicer inside and overall, IMO.

now i'm not a numbers geek or a dyno obsessed street racer or anything. but i am curious where a chipped A4 stands in 0-60 times and in WHP. if anybody has this info post up.

and keep the opinions and points of view coming. thanks.

with a little reduction the scale can start to even out, I have had my car down to <3000lbs with just pulling the interior and 1/4 tank, I must say that the car drove a lot nicer like that
