Default New Audi a4

Hello forum!

I just purchased a 2019 a4 and although I don't have the quattro, I like the car. I'm looking for some simple modifications, in which I can improve the performance a little.

Anyone aware of a KAI kit for the 2019 model?

The car sits a little high for me, but not sure if I want to mess with the suspension at all.

Thanks!

Good looking car.

If no quattro does that mean this is the 40TFSI (188hp) engine? If so, hate to say it but the main power upgrade for that car is the 45TFSI (252hp) engine...almost the entire aftermarket is centered around that one including all ECU tunes, most piggybacks, and most/all exhausts and intakes. There may be some exceptions e.g. a quick google suggests the Racechip unit might work with the baby 2.0. But most of the intakes, exhausts, tunes etc. that I have seen are listed for compatibility with the larger 252hp engine only.

Beyond that, there are plenty of strut braces, lowering springs, etc. that will be compatible with all B9 A4s which will improve handling performance on this model. 034Motorsports makes a full line of these for example.

Congrats. I've never seen those rims before. Were they optionals? I have the same rims, but mine are chrome.

Good looking car for sure.

Thanks!

Nice ride. I have the 190hp 2.0 TFSI FWD model, so similar to yours. There are, in fact,some performance upgrades available! look at a JB4 Gen3B - Its for my car, and I presume we have the same engine? Just a different designation where I live.
Its a plug-and-play piggy-back tune, which can easily be removed, should you need to take the car in for a service.

You can find it here:

You will get a MINIMUM of a 30hp boost, according to testers. They're also a well-known and respected brand.
