Hey, i am a brand new owner of a 2000 S4. The car is stock, and i was wondering what to do with it. I have been told to get the APR ECU chip first thing, but i am concerned that it will put too much stress on the turbos. Should i be concerned about that?

save yourself time energy and heartache, and just go stage III as your first mod. everything else second. trust me.

How much is that going to run me? How much faster would that really make it?

but it certainly does stress them more. the fact of the matter is they might blow up if you leave them them stock so i say chip it, enjoy, and start saving...alot.

it will make it supercar status, and cost about $10K

roughly:

stageIII- 2500 (parts only)
stageIII 5000
stageIII+ 8000

Do suspension as your very first mod and then look into brakes next. Even upgraded stock Components are great. I regret making my cars more powerfull and then playing catch up with the other stuff. On the software front, GIAC or go home.

Give the guys over @ STaSIS a look.
