Glxfan 1st Gear October 5, 2011 Share October 5, 2011 Hi guys, I have recently bought a audi a4 from PA, just a normal mu version 1.8t. Was previously contemplating between the 320i, c180, volvo s60 and is250. Really liked the is250 in terms of overall package and comfort but eventually couldn't resist the allure of the led lights haha. Just want to check with the audi drivers here, I heard there is a way to chip up the car to 200+ bhp, would any a4 drivers here like to share on the issues or experiences you have when chipping ur ride? fun/sad/technical bit of it, will be most happy to hear! cheers! :) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datura 2nd Gear October 5, 2011 Share October 5, 2011 bro, you have to go bac to PA to do stage 1 via MTM, with that they still honour the warranty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glxfan 1st Gear October 5, 2011 Author Share October 5, 2011 bro, you have to go bac to PA to do stage 1 via MTM, with that they still honour the warranty. hi bro thanks for the advice, will check with SE on that, will likely consider the stage 1 you mentioned at a later time, meanwhile, just drive around a little first and get of feel of the car first and also find out more abt this stage 1 mod. You have done the stage 1 mtm mod bro? How is it? Care to share? :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourth 2nd Gear October 5, 2011 Share October 5, 2011 Small percentage of the car price. Best value mod for turbo cars. No hardware addition needed for stage 1. Stage 1 definitely worth it. For new cars still under warranty, better get those with that can keep warranty intact. Small price for peace of mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiadaw 6th Gear October 5, 2011 Share October 5, 2011 Do it. Get the stage 1. Its not often you get warranty with mods. I like the A4. Very the nice. Good taste bro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case if you have issue with warranty after the mod .... not to mention issue with LTA as well for illegal mod. 1st, for audi MTM mods by PA, there is no issue with LTA. 2nd, PA will still provide Warranty via the MTM support funds and not from Audi Factory direct. When you sign up for the MTM chip up, owner will need to sign a form to announce you forgo your FACTORY warranty but PA will be supporting your Warranty via the MTM support fund. So in TS case, no need to scare if mod. Also, PA gives good aftermarket support if MTM chip up is by them. Nothing to worry about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evo 9 is a very nice and fantastic car too, always been a dream car, thou I will never have the chance to get it Nice words, but its true. I love the A4 design, even more the A5, but thats another story. Yap, the Evo 9 is a very nice car. I am happy to have owned it. After selling it, its really hard to find a suitable replacement, that give the same thrill, & yet more refine & more reasonable priced & not too expensive to maintain. Having said this, I feel in Sunny Singapore, with our urban traffic, its may be better to have a more refine ride with good power, than a high power ride with poor refinement. There just isn't not many chances to push the power down responsibly on our roads (unless you like short burst of speed), other than weekend on clear roads. Unless you love to go to our neighbors track in KL. Cheers, & enjoy your ride. Do share with us your feedback on your MTM tune.
