Default Need some advise to pep-up my 16' A5 Cab

I'm sure it's been talked about before but I'd like some advise on what I can do to increase the performance of my 2016 A5 cab. At this time I'm more interested in boosting the 220hp than the handling.

I'm not a super gearhead by any means but understand basics so the simpler the better. Not sure what your recommendations will involve implementing them or the cost so any knowledge you can pass down about this is appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any and all ideas you have so I can put a little more zip in the car.

The easiest performance boost to obtain, is to have the car re-flashed by a tuner, using one of the many vendors that offer programming upgrades (Unitronics APR etc...).

Additionally, each offers varying "stages" or levels of performance increases, which correspond to cost and vehicle hardware upgrades as well (down pipes, exhaust, inter-coolers, etc..)

With Waterfest happening this weekend, you will find many vendors are offering tunes and upgrades with varying discounts. Good luck shopping!

Thanks, delz05. Need to make sure I'll pass my state inspection every other year when I "tune".
