I have to say

a turbo upgrade would do you well. You know you want to.

drive another DBW car with a turbo upgrade and your crappy 91 octane gas

and see if you think it's all worth it. If you aren't happy with a turbo upgrade, then why bother doing all the other stuff?

2nd that, 91 and big turbo isn't all that great. Look inside.

If you lived in a place where there was 93 gas then I'd say definately keep the A4 because you could run wild 93, but wild 93 programming and westcoast 91 programming are two WAY different things.

kinda depend on what you want man

if you love your car and dont really care about the warranty, and have the money, i would upgrade the clutch and flywheel. then get some hsports. then the turbo kit after the clutch is broken in. then after that i'd do the suspension. then stereo. then fmic
