| I Am planning on purchasing an Audi A3 2.0T. Is there anything I can do to modify it? I found a place to get a new ECU, but can I put exhaust, intake, anything to improve the performance on it? | |

Replying to: mayland88 (Jun 12, 2006 7:34 am) Those Forum posters claim Audi cannot detect the chip modifications. That may or may not be true. If Audi does find out you have rechipped your car, your warranty will be cancelled.

Replying to: mayland88 (Jun 12, 2006 7:34 am) The 2.0T takes well to a chip, pushing it into the 260+ hp range, and getting you 0-60 times in 5.6-5.7 range with a good launch (tricky on a FWD car). There are several good chips around, and the best are "soft" chips: performance software is loaded onto your ECU. In other words, your ECU is never physically touched. IMO, this car doesn't need much modification to satisfy most performance appetites. A chip, good tires, and a suspension mod or two, and you're done. Check out the A3 enthusiast boards for more detailed info. |

Anyone with an A3 have an infant car sear in it? If so, what make and model of infant car seat do you have, and how would you rate it's compatibility with your A3? Please help. First baby is due in 9 weeks and we haven't selected a car seat yet!

Koni makes a nice shock which preserves handling while cutting down on the harshness. They also offer a lowered spring kit for those wanting that low-low-low stance. |

| I am looking at getting a Carbonio intake, which allows one to keep the original engine cover in place. Does anyone have any info. on CAI's or the carbonio? I don't need the biggest gains, but would like to get something with a little better improvement in both HP and gas milage. | |
