Default Ideas for RS4 mods....

I am a Audi Brand Specialist in a smaller dealership. I have a customer ordering his RS4 and is interested in tweaking the car when it arrives. His bigest concern is increasing 0-60 times. Any thoughts?

Default how much does he want to spend?

the only *significant* power modification is the MTM supercharger, which costs about $45,000 (plus installation) and requires the customer to ship the car to Germany.

Default Nothing really out there that will bump the 0-60 times a great deal...

Exhaust (around 20hp)
DP's (no proof of any gains)
Chip (Revo should have one out soon..15hp?)
Fuel (100 octane might help slightly)

Other then that there is only the MTM s/c Bob mentioned. But, I don't even think it's available for sale yet.

Start removing parts until it weighs ~3000 lbs!

Increasing 0-60 time is easy. Just drive slower.

Default I have a great idea! Buy an RS4, get Euro delivery, drive it to MTM, get the mods done and then...

Ship it State side.

Default According to Joe Hoppen Motorsport...

They have a waiting list on their website for the MTM supercharger install in Fla. Money is not an issue if he sees the value in what the mod will do.
And I meant DEcreasing 0-60. Thanks for catching that Radak.
Thanks for the feedback. Keep it going if anyone has some ideas.
