Also, what is the most bang for the buck modifications I can do? I'm coming from B5 S4.

Default Yes, it does. Many have done it and are very pleased with the results.

See the link below for info on results after modifications.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/news/05/b6dynoawe/content.shtml">Shootout 2</a></li></ul>

thanks for the link! Nice reading. Too bad there weren't more tuners available.

In Cali, not a choice. $600 for 10hp on 91...and a voided warranty. No thanks.

Default It's about $100/hp gained with mods. Join ACNA and attend their drivers' events.

You'll never drive the car to its potential in stock form anyway.....if you're good maybe extract 80/85% of its potential after formal instruction.
