wow you dont know your own car? its a 2.0 fsi, half of your problem is superchips, giac or apr make the best off the shelf tunes....you need to start researching before talking about T3/T4, start with a stage 2 flash...apr you will need to mod your fuel pump, a free flow, and some real brakes...the stage three can make roughly 350...btw b8 wasnt out until 2009

bro my car is the 1.8t fsi engine

[wildbill]

they ended the 1.8 block with the b6, so youre wrong in four places, the fact that you got superchips shows your credibility, ZERO bro!

[advocate]

take a look at this link and you will see the model they bring for us in the caribbean http://paultan.org/2008/06/27/audi-a...ed-in-malaysia
we always get the lower end models here bro

Thought the 1.8T was available outside the US

nd i am from trinidad and tobago which is in the caribbean

[wildbill]

i wondered that when i saw caribbean, from that i would find a good shop
youre going to be limited on tunes, best bet is a custom tune by a reputable shop with an awd dyno
i would say a gt 28 is a good bet, anything more and its not a DD or daily driver
its ball bearing and much larger than factory, but creates lag and may need a bottom end pending how aggressive the tune is
check out awe for a fuel pump upgrade, 034 and apr make great cat deletes, exhaust on the b7 and b8 dont need to be changed
injectors pend tune, youll need a new manifold...new diverter valve would be a must

[advocate]

from reading up the car comes with a ko3 water cooled turbo produsing 160 horses with the superchip re map i am getting 214horses would this turbo your reccomending give me around 350horses?

[wildbill]

28 easily, tht superchips number is bogus, giac and apr are the accurate ones. idk if anyone makes tunes for your special car

[advocate]

can you reccomend a one stop dealer to provide me with this ?

[wildbill]

in the caribbean, no. us...yes!

[advocate]

in the us will be fine

[wildbill]

awe should do custom tunes. black forest industries and absolute automotive in North Carolina. AWE is near philadelphia pennsylvania. euro tech of atlanta in Georgia should, but i know for a fact absolute does some legit work, pm me if you want adresses

[advocate]

the 2.0tfsi and the 1.8tfsi carry the same K03 turbo so would the K04 work in both cars?

notice how he didn't get all in your face and insulting when it turns out he was right and you were ...dare I say...wrong?

what's with the douchebaggery. good help afterward, anyway

Oh the irony.

I'm also loking into this, also ave the 1.8T engine and looking for a turbo upgrade.
I Saw that APR is coming out with a K04upgrade, it might be that the turbo would be interchangeable as several products for the 2.0 also fit the 1.8

[advocate]

seeing thet the turbo on both cars come with k03 borgwarner do you guys think the K04 borgwarner with fit plug and play?

[Cabal_san]

I think i read on APR's site that the 1.8T offered in the ROW B8s is actually a de-tuned 2.0T... so get APR. Of course i have no idear what Superchips tune is and/or how it compares to APR...but I can readily admit that on here as i am a nub!

And you got to love a know-it-all eating a nice old slice of humble pie! heh

[advocate]

does APR offer an upgrade to the K03?

haha now say you're sorry! do it.

[ItsDubC]

new diverter valve would be a must

False.

Yes.

The ko4 we will soon offer for the 2.0 TSI will fit on your 1.8TSI but I am not certain if and when we will have a calibration to support the turbo upgrade for your 1.8 TSI.

THis is some very exciting news! It would be good if this would be available withoug ECU upgrade, so we could have a custom tune done if we have other parts installed (exhaust, HFC, intercooler)
But would our stock OEM clutch be able to handle all of the power, of would it be wise to upgrade to a DXD clutch?

[advocate]

keith do you have a part no. for the K04 turbo that can be used?
