Had anyone modified their 200 Turbo, and if not anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks :)

If it's an auto, don't bother chipping your car. The extra horse power will kill your tranny. Sorry:(

If it's a 5 speed, get it running like it was when it came from the factory. Then chip it and enjoy!

I'd probably start with some suspension mods and good tires first...

Try:

Good luck!

Yes, they are sometimes expensive, but if you are going from 15x6 to the 15x7 Fuchs, you can actually feel a difference in the handling. Which is why I ditched the stock turbo rims on my wagon. Plus they are light (17 lbs. each!) and strong (forged, not cast).

Do not listen to the knuckleheads at the tire store, Audis are weird fitment-wise and it's probably the first older Audi the kid has seen. The offset is _very_ important, and ask him if they test fit before you buy. He'll give you a dumb look, drool a little and say no, since all he's fitted wheels to are Hondas. And my dog could fit wheels to Hondas since they are so common...

BTW there is a guy on Audifans.com selling a set of Fuchs for $500...

Good luck.
