Default Engine Upgrades for 96 2.8 12V

Are there any upgrades available for the 2.8 12V engine besides Cold Air Intake? Like a chip, turbos, supercharger? And what's the best aftermarket exhaust to use?

Default answers:

There is no Chip, no turbo, and there is a possiblity of getting supercharger, but it will cost aroun 5 - 7k... check this guy website, I think it is the only one that done all this work to his 96 12v a4<ul><li><a href="http://www.scottholman.com/audi12v/">http://www.scottholman.com/audi12v/</a</li></ul>

Default Here's some information for you...

I have done a full series of TDL Racing mods for my 12v. Here are a couple of links to some of my recent posts:

Default Dave, do you know if these guys are ever going to offer anything?

I've heard some people say they will, and I think I saw an e-mail saying they weren't. Do you have any insight?

The way I understand it is that they will "down the road".

Default A couple of weeks ago, I heard that they were not planning to offer any engine mods for the 12v...

and were going to be focusing on the 30v, the '02+ A4, and the S cars.

I have called them personally a couple of times, and the story seems to change each time. Nobody seems to be able to pin them down for a straight answer. I don't know if it really makes much sense for them to continue a 12v program if they are now racing a 30v. But I guess someone else should try calling them soon to be sure.
