Also why didnt you mention turbo upgrades, i just found out these things dont really have inter-coolers there just forced outside air. Or was i over looking it?

I didn't mention turbo upgrades because far fewer people do them because of the cost and that it turns a daily driver into somewhat of a liability. Not to mention the vast variety of brands and kits to choose one it wouldn't make sense to try and cram all that into one sticky.
The 1.8T uses a side-mounted intercooler setup, it has one on the passenger side fender well where the bumper is vented by a black bumper insert

ahh so its covered up, i thought it was just a direct injection of cold air from the outside. That explains why didnt see it. Thanks for all the advice and help.
So its fair to say that the stuff you mentioned will still keep the car reliable then?

Correct...a chip, upgraded dv, intake, and exhaust should make the car faster than should be necessary for a daily driver and keep it very reliable

I know if my car is chipped I should be running NGK BKR7E/4644 spark plugs. I did my research and these are the plugs that the Audi 4.2t uses. What I was wondering was, can I upgrade to the Platinum Laser NGK plugs for the 4.2t? Thank you in advanced.
What are your credentials ?
Are you a Certified Mechanic?
You sound like a know it all guy that does not know what you are talking about...
That makes no sense..sorry to ruin your parade. What he wrote down is VERY good information and VERY helpful to all members.
I am a certified mechanic, and I can approve of what he said. All the info was on point, and he is %1000 (yes one thousand) right about running a DV instead of a BOV, leave those to the hondas and dsm's.
For someone with only 2 posts, that's no way to start off on a new forum. Creates enemies
