2012 Audi A3 1.4TFSi 8P 92kw / Modifications

Post by smitbrandon »

Good morning,

I'm new to this page but from what I've read thus far, this is a amazing community to be part of!

I just recently purchased a vehicle as mentioned above and I'm looking to for some inspirational suggestions to modifications that would be ideal for the 1.4TFSi engine.

I reside in Allerton area and use the vehicle as a daily driver as I am a rep that constantly travels, so in short not to hectic of a modification but something to cause a head or two to turn

Any ideas? Shoot it my way.

Thanks in advance.

Howzit bud and welcome!

First mods should definitely be a CAI (intake), downpipe and some software... You will have some fun and enjoy some boost noises.

Yup like Kirsh said, Intake, DP, Exhaust and software and you would love the difference.

wheels and some springs or coilovers for a lower ride would also do well aesthetically while keeping the car practical.

Yeah I used to rock a polo 9n3 1.4i with a free-flowing and branch. Good times I can tell you, miss it but now onto a better things and upgrades. Where is the best place to have these mods done? I'm in Alberton area but don't mind travelling if need be.

Save yourself a whole lot of issues

If you have a DSG 7 speed, DQ200 gearbox

Leave it stock standard. These boxes cannot handle the added power in any form

Google will also show lots of owners with issue after issue, its basically luck of the draw

I have manual 6 speed box. Reliable for extra torque?
