Audi A4 1.8T

[Drew1982]

Need help! Looking to upgrade the internals on the audi! Do not have a clue where to start looking! Already 350bhp on standard internals can't push much more if any! It's the 1.8turbo engine! New to all this so as much help as pos will be greatfully appreciated!?

Cheers all

what have you got to achieve 350bhp so far?

[Drew1982]

Stage 3 apr remap, garrett gt28rs turbo, aprexhaust and hi flow cat,front mount intercooler, r1 diverter valve, carbonio induction alloy flywheel. So at the moment looking on tips for the internals until I decide to go bigger on the externals etc

So if you dont mind me asking, what's the total you have spent on the car and how much was the car?

Mods already done when bought it, paid just over 10k but want more doing to reinforce everything! Other mods (bodywork, wheels, interior) have also been carried out.

Assuming you got a big inter cooler already and alloy RAD already.

The next step would be forged pistons and con rods. Uprated Big end bolts And maybe forged steel crankshaft. BUT Personally I think with the race spec coated bearing shells, ARP or corillo bolts and all the gaskets seals etc you would need to build it. The cost would be to much to be worth while.

But if money isnt an issue, With these you could safely run higher boost pressures and even raise the rev limit a bit. With the right camshaft to take advantage of the increased rev range you could get another 50bhp. Gas flow the head too and a bigger turbo, set of larger injectors or 8 injector conversion, and another custom ECU map, you could go for 400+.

Not sure where you would source top end tuning parts for AUDI's, but a quick google found this.
