Default Japanese Parts for the A4?

I've seen some A4's with lots of Japanese parts from GReedy, Apexi, Blitz, ect... Does anyone know of how to make these parts compatible with a Euro car?

Default It really depends on the part you want to install...

...for instance, my greddy boost and turbo timer. Integrated well in the A4 via adapting techs to the particular part.

Piggy back boxes (Electronic boost controllers, Fuel controllers, etc.) can adapted to the ECU simply by finding the right corresponding ECU terminal and conditioning it using the piggy back ECU.

Just takes a bit of time.

Hope that helps.

Default AFAIK...there are only two Japanese Tuners that carry a line exhaust line up for german cars...

...HKS and Greddy. They sell exhaust systems(downpipe back) for the A4.

You could always just get the muffler and custom fabricate the piping to suit your needs.

If you are talking about taking parts made for a Civic or something and retrofitting it to your A4, just forget about it. Not gonna work. Manufactured systems are car specific.

See the links section for Audi/VW for car specific tuners.
