Upgrade mods, pros and cons.

J.Scott · 08-28-2004, 02:50 AM

I am going to recieve a huge settlement check here pretty soon due to being hit by a drunk driver and getting pretty messed up. (collarbone, back, concussion, hernia) I'de like to just go ahead and do the whole stage 5 mod job all at once but I hate the look of that front end with its mesh and all that. I am not a fan of the RS4 look. Can you stay stock outside, if not, how far can you go without altering the outside? stage 2,3,4. By the way Damaticstatic I'm glad things worked out for you and your nightmare is over, conrats on the new S4.

My nightmare is almost over, just some money changing hands and I'm done with it.

I'm sure you could get a stage 5 upgrade to fit under all of that. It may take a bit of time to get all the clearances right and maybe dremmel down some pieces but I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

I'm not sure how you're classifying stages. It seems that different tuners have different "stages."

The recognized AW levels are:
1 - chip
2 - chip, exhaust
2+ - chip, exhaust, dp's
3 - chip, exhaust, dp's, KO4 turbos and the fueling setup that goes with them.

Of course, there are a junkload of other small mods that should be done along with these basic "stages."
