I have been driving this car for a few years now and before the financial crises I was about to trade up to an Infiniti G37x.
I have decided to keep the A4 a bit longer and I'm thinking that a few mods may make a couple of years more interesting. I love the ride, feel and performance of the A4, but I would like to know how it would be if it actually packed 300hp rather than its OEM 220hp.
So far, I have only added a K&N air filter - I am not sure I ever felt any difference, but it appears to run a bit more efficient. What can I do next...?
I normally drive my car slowly, but often times I like to have it perform for me in the city (of course, within reason for safety) in all kinds of street conditions - wet, snowy.... The car does wonderfully winding around the city.
I have been hearing conflicting advice about chipping or remaping my ecu. My best understanding is that chipping the car would not boost my hp by more than 10hp, but the power will be modestly enhanced for all speeds I may drive my car. Is it worth it??
I currently have 17" rims/wheels in the summer and I am thinking about going to 18" or 19", which one is 'better'?
What else can I do that will have a noticeable difference in performance?
I am not very knowledgeable about cars and would have any work done by professionals.
My power steering pump is apparently in need of replacement. Are there performance considerations with this part?
