3. LCE Performance
This is a German company so you will be working with folks from the motherland of Audi. And they have you covered with all sorts of performance upgrades and ECU tuning. But by far the coolest thing they offer is their Sportquattro replicas. They have several variants to choose from and each one of them is amazing. The cars have TÜV approval so you should be able to import into the U.S. if you desire.

AWE is a lot closer to home being located in Horsham, PA. They have been around since 1991 and are best known for their exhaust and air intake products. The range of products they offer may not be as extensive as some of the others on this list. However, what they do offer is top quality and their exhaust systems come with a lifetime warranty.
5. Weistec Engineering
Based in California, Weistec Engineering has a number of exciting products to improve the performance of your Audi. Naturally they offer ECU tunes.
